Oriental Rug Gallery “The origin of handmade rugs travels back centuries, dating back to my homeland Persia. Beautiful heirloom rugs, that have been carefully thought-out by master weavers, are filled with old-world motifs, elegant floral patterns, or tribal-inspired symbols that have created unmatched masterpieces on the floors and walls of homes for centuries. I personally hand select each and every rug with a deep sense of pride, as each rug in my inventory carries a piece of my heritage within it. This is the art of my homeland, and I am beyond humbled to continue my family tradition and do what I love for a living here in Wisconsin.” – Hamid Dehbod, owner. 11005 W.

This segment-first technology allows drivers to steer a trailer instinctively by turning a knob left or right to indicate direction; the truck controls its steering and limits vehicle speed. Ford engineers developed the system leveraging advanced camera technology and tested it for almost a decade. Ford earned five patents for the technology along the way, with 10 more pending.

for a cure
Commanding a magnificent view of the western shore of Oconomowoc Lake, with magical sunsets and pristine waters, the grand, renovated, turn-of-the century home of Mary and Dan Druml has been chosen as the 2016 Wisconsin Breast Cancer Showhouse. Located at 3943 N. Sawyer Road, the original house was constructed in 1899. The 8,100 square foot Showhouse recently underwent a major remodel under the direction of Paul Davis, a local Restoration & Remodeling firm, located in Milwaukee. The Neo-classic Lake Country House has five bedrooms, five fireplaces, a guest apartment with sleeping porch, and five full baths and one-half bath. The exterior rehabilitation was extensive yet the new design builds upon period detailing. Stately columns, lap siding, and detailed exterior millwork combine to create a timeless feeling of the original 1900s home. A focal point of the entry courtyard is the Colonial Revival style three-room playhouse. It was originally built on Louis J. Petit’s nearby “Oak Knoll” estate on Oconomowoc Lake. When the Petit’s children outgrew it, the playhouse was relocated to the Showhouse property near the road. Recently it was moved once again to its courtyard location and preserved. It now evokes times past when the children of Milwaukee’s then illustrious families used the playhouse for their summer entertainment. The original wicker furniture has been donated to the Oconomowoc Historical Museum and will be on display in the Children’s Exhibit Room in the near future. A selection of Savannah stone and Bluestone was used for the front-facing walkway and gardens. The front porch floor is

conceals a television screen behind. The original garage has been transformed into an exquisite master suite. The home’s circle motif can be found in the room’s paneled and beamed ceiling with a perimeter light cove. Additional elegance is added by the Neo-classic columns and the curved wall leading into the master bath with his and her wash basins. A cedar pergola nestled between two towering trees highlights the private terrace off the master suite. The centralized oak staircase leads to the second level landing, a vaulted, skylight ceiling and a restful retreat area. The guest apartment features a fireplace, a sitting room, and a private balcony. Three other bedrooms, all with private bathrooms, occupy the balance of the second level. A lower level recreation space hosts a sauna, steam room, a billiard room, an exercise room and a combination movie theater/golf room. A vintage to contemporary motorcycle collection can be seen through the glass wall joining the lower level garage to the entertainment area. Misters Hill and Hartwell sold 32 acres of land on Oconomowoc Lake in 1884. A canal was built and the land on the southern edge was sold to Captain Frederick Pabst and land to the north to Louis J. Petit. The six lots in the center were reserved for a family compound, one of which is

french country masterpiece
by Ellen Huef fner
You know you’re in for an unexpected treat as you turn onto the private drive and the perfectly spaced Aspen tree groves surround you on either side of the winding road. As you approach the custom wrought-iron entry gate, you’ll notice that these tall, thin unique pines go on for what feels like forever. If you parked and decided to walk a portion of the 35-ultra private acres, you would appreciate the occasional strategically placed lawn-chair allowing it’s occupant to take full advantage of the fairy-tale like surroundings. Through the gates the circular drive is perfectly set amongst the just starting to blossom spring flowers and planting beds. A portion of the driveway, as you get closer to the side garagedoor entry to the home, boasts interlocking brick which gives the right amount of character that the home-owners desired. Mike and Nancy Soley intentionally chose embellishments that would give their home the feeling of a French country Home suggested by Deanna Lentz of First Weber Realtors®.
