18 The Essence Of Lake Living Oconomowoc Lake and the area around it is home to many fine mansions dating back to the 1800s. Built by many of the well-to-do of the day–hops growers, cattlemen, railroad pioneers, meat packers and beer barons among them. They settled in the gorgeous lake country area, referred to as the ‘Newport of the Midwest’, for resort living at its finest. Every estate was a work of art, but the 1871 Fred Miller Mansion stands apart from these in a very special way; it looks and feels like home. n Jeff Gramins

ECOTOU RISM Norway’s landscape features stunning
mountains, waterfalls, coastal areas, glaciers and fjords. The Norwegian government is an international leader in its environmental policies, and works carefully to manage and regulate the harvest and hunting of fish, whales and seals in surrounding waters as well as the work of the petroleum industry. The government’s diligent efforts, along with a plentiful selection of natural areas and parks, have made Norway a sought-after destination for ecotourism and outdoor activities. For travelers hoping to witness the grandeur of mountainous areas and crystalclear water, Norway’s fjords offer a perfect vacation spot. The fjords are home to diverse wildlife, including porpoises, seals, seabirds and eagles. During the summer months, some of the fjords’ water areas are accessible by boat or cruise tours, and on shore, hiking and bicycling are popular. Ecotourism packages are available as well, offering visitors deals that include organized tours, food and lodging. Norway’s Sognefjord is famous for its beauty and celebrated as one of the world’s most lovely travel destinations. Known as the King of the Fjords, it is also the longest and deepest fjord in Norway, and can be toured by “express boat.” The surrounding land can be accessed by tours

Oriental Rug Gallery “Pictured here are two pieces of history; antique tribal rugs woven around the Caucasus mountain region, circa 1880s. Worn to perfection–all the holes, loose ends, and frayed edges are part of the charm, history, and originality of these rugs. The colors are all natural dyes and the designs and motifs all inspired by nature and symbolic meanings and beliefs of the weavers themselves. It’s interesting to think of the life these rugs have lived, and how through a series of serendipitous events can end up in a store in Wauwatosa, WI–and eventually in a home to enjoy amongst family and friends. That’s why we love older pieces so much, it’s the stories that they’re filled with that sparks interest, conversation, and above all appreciation.” - Hemad Fadaifar of Oriental Rug Gallery | 414-727-0007.

The room itself has angled corners with windows to the outside, creating a very bright and welcoming atmosphere. The simple, white molding and wainscoting is off-set by a crown molding and ceiling medallion of contrasting, carved detail. A period chandelier of quiet simplicity provides just enough light for gatherings. As with any main room of the time,
