“I like there to be connectivity among the spaces, and my husband likes green, so that goes a long way in creating a peaceful environment,” Missy says.
Billet Collins added artistry with a 360 degree mural in the dining room, and painted floors throughout. The large scale foyer walls were brought into scale with a soft limestone block technique.
