EAGLE LAKE — Originally from Texas, the Craigs returned home after spending many years in the western United States. The residence retains its original wood floors, adding to its historic charm. Carol Craig utilizes the space beneath the stairs as her pantry, maintaining the tradition set by the previous owner.
The living room is anchored by a large red leather couch, which is one of Carol's favor -
ite pieces.
Drawing inspiration from their time in Wyoming and Colorado, the Craigs’ love of western style is evident throughout the home's décor. Carol's passion for decorating is showcased in her impressive collection of western-themed ornaments.
Family heirlooms are cel - ebrated through charming dis - plays of Santa Claus and Dick - ens Village collections, which have been lovingly passed down through generations.
Carol Craig expresses her love of decorating and antiques, a passion visible in every corner of their home. A particularly special ornament is the Rad - ko Marine ornament, which honors her nephew. Although the ornament has broken, She- continues to display it on her Christmas tree in his honor.
