When it came time to pick, the home that Mike and Olga decided on was a builder’s model in the Country Club of the North, which they loved due to the many upgrades, but it also allowed them to add their own flair through various decorating ideas.
The couple’s personality is shown most in the entertainment areas of the house including the home theater and the disco room in the basement. Mike says there is rarely a weekend without 40 or 50 friends over for a dinner party with plenty of dancing. Olga loves to dance and was in a well-known dance group in Columbia where she grew up. “She always said she wanted a place to dance and that was one stipulation we were looking for in a house…it had to have some kind of space we could turn into a ballroom/disco area,” Mike says.
The couple transformed an unfinished space in the basement to their disco, complete with a bar, open dance floor, disco ball and top-of-the-line stereo system and flashing lights.
For those wanting to take a quick breather from the dancing, various seating arrangements are scattered throughout the space.
Overall, the homeowners are very happy with their design and decorating ideas, especially on nights when the house is filled with friends, food and good music.
