Living... 16vHERVOICE SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2015 Don and Meredith Kruml have spent the last 15 years enjoying the expansive views of the Lewis & Clark Lake their Calumet Drive home offers. “We have a view of the lake from every room in the house except for one,” Don said. When the Krumls were originally looking to purchase a lot in the country to build a home, but their realtor asked them to take a look at this home. “It was the view that clinched the deal,” Don said. “We just fell in love with the beautiful view of the lake and saw the potential for some great landscaping outside. The view is really what it’s all about.” Don, former owner of Gurney’s Seed & Nursery, has worked relentlessly on perfecting his outdoor landscape while Meredith has meticulously decorated the interior of the home. “Meredith takes the lead in the house and I take the lead outside, but we work together and ask for each other’s opinions,” Don said. It is evident the couple has taken time and care to make their home an inviting and cozy place for them to share. The interior decorating reflects their interest in history, Indian art and the outdoors. Several beautiful pieces of Indian art adorn their home, each with a unique flair. “We really love Northern Plains Indian art,” Don said. “Our favorite piece is a sculpture called Fancy Dancer, by Janice Albro.” Other notable pieces are a huge painting in their living room that features a deer skin and buffalo hide matte, a piece featuring ducks that is made completely out of caribou fur that is trimmed with tiny scissors to create the shapes, several sculptures and a very interesting piece of ledger art by Terrance Guardipee who has work in 24 museums, including the Smithsonian.
