Hoida Home
700 S Fifth

WHS_005_818
The
1906 three-story Victorian home at 700 S. Fifth Street was acquired by Brian
and Deb Hoida in 1990. A cozy window seat, pocket doors, hardwood
floors and architectural elements add to the ambiance of the home. The Hoidas remodeled
the rooms several times over the years to suit Deb's passions for decorating
and shopping.
The
home is decorated in shabby-chic/cottage style, featuring many antiques and
flea market treasurers. The dining room
has collections of antique floral pictures and garden accents to bring their
love of gardening and the outdoors inside year-round.
A
whimsical holiday “candies and cookies" theme makes the kitchen a cheery
place to gather for holiday baking, while the living room reflects a cozy
feeling in shades of ivory and creams.
Upon
entering the second floor, individuals will see touches of a more masculine
feel, featuring a one-of-a-kind Harley Davidson bathroom and a vintage games
and sports theme guest room.
While
Deb's passion for decorating year-round is evident, the Christmas season has
always prompted her to go to extremes.
