The now-white pine shiplap
walls are adorned with the
Kings’ special artwork they
collected from their travels to
Alaska, Maine, the Tetons
and Colorado.
THE FAMILY MEMBERS are avid hikers and
skiers, always going to the top and bottom of the
mountains as a family.
“We placed the art first. We also opened up the
stairwell so we could display our George paint-ing,”
Karen says.
The painting by George Pocheptsov is a fam-ily
favorite. The 25-year-old artist completed the
piece that’s displayed above the stairwell when
he was only 17. Karen and the kids also sur-prised
Bill for Father’s Day with a commissioned
Pocheptsov piece — a painting of the four chil-dren
that hangs in the master bedroom.
The family’s art collection adorns the walls through-
out the cottage. Each piece has a special
meaning or memory.
