Green Thumbs at the Knoop House

The front lawn and areas close to the house that holds the offices for the Miami County Parks District are really a mess. In this case, that's a good thing! Pathways leading around the house to all the porches have been created, along with new gardens and fresh plants.

Thank you everyone for your hard work! It looks beautiful so far and we can't wait until it's finished.

Let the fun begin!

The work is in full swing at the Knoop House. The house is bustling with work crews while designers are still quietly plotting their designs from behind the scenes. Painters are working hard to get everything painted and the remodeling has begun in the kitchen.

Above is Michael from Marble and Granite Works measuring for the new countertops in the kitchen. Cosentino is graciously donating their ECO countertop and Marble Works is donating all the labor to fabricate and install them. The ECO countertop is made from 75% recycled content from post-industrial or post-consumer materials and is bound by an environmentally friendly resin which comes in part from corn oil.
