“It’s a little country and a little city at the same time,” she said.

A large walk-in closet provides more storage, and the master bath includes a jetted tub with ceramic inserts, and Dura Surpreme cabinetry in Cashew, and vanity tops of Bertch Oasis Cultured Marble in Biscuit.

There’s also a guest room in shades of darker brown and grey, with carpeting and television, plus an extra window to help bring the outdoors inside. A contrast wall painted a little darker grey adds depth.

“We’ve been married 40 years,” she said. “Every year we’ve been married, we’ve bought an ornament with a number on it.”

“We don’t need to buy any ornaments from the store,” Gary added.

The third bedroom Karen and Gary made into “Khloe’s Room”, a peaceful little getaway with a sofa, easy chairs, and television.

“It’s Khloe’s favorite room,” Karen says of their tiniest dog, who was a rescue and now enjoys a calmer life. “She loves to sit on the couch and watches traffic. And it’s one of my favorite rooms of the house.”

A very positive building experience

Karen and Gary said that, despite a few little glitches, building a new home was a positive experience. Plus, the couple ended up with the house they truly wanted. The Olsons enjoyed working with general contractor

Berg Construction and the other professionals who helped create their dream home.

“We did a lot of homework, and we worked with many wonderful people in building this home,” Gary said “Working with the Olsons was a great experience,” said General Contractor Josh Berg of Berg Construction. “They knew what they wanted from the get-go. They had everything planned out.”

“This house is peaceful and calm,” Karen said. “It’s absolutely the perfect retirement house. We’re both retired now, and it’s time to have a slower pace of living. This is the perfect house for that.” D
