As a kid, Lisa Schmitz spent summers at a log cabin her granddad built. It had midcentury panache, with a butterfly roof that angled down in the middle. Her grandparents had furnished the interior eclectically, with traditional and modern pieces and scads of art, much of it their own work. Looking back, Lisa traces her career in interior design and her hobbies of watercolor and knitting to that place and time. And, with her husband, Chuck, she s built a home for her own family that runs on the same fuel, where old marries new, color bursts everywhere and there s always a handmade craft (or twelve) in progress.
