Framed prints line the hallway leading to the new master bedroom and bath.

Homeowners Keith Zabel and Randy Shemaitis added 450 square feet to the original 1,350-square-foot floor plan to create a master bedroom.

Homeowner Keith Zabel describes the new concrete path as “tiki without the tacky.”

An outdoor shower is framed by a palm frond. The house originally had seven palm trees. Now there are 23. Why so many? “Because we are from the Midwest,” explains homeowner Randy Shemaitis with a laugh.
