GREETINGS FROM MARTINILAND!
By this summer it will look something sort of like this
with a nice retro color scheme and lots of impatiens
shaded by this great old tree.

Aloha kanes and wahines!
Well, we finally made it up North and are we glad to be
settled down again! After months and months of searching
for our new headquarters, we were lucky enough to find
this perfectly kool 1960's modern home in beautiful
Sacramento, Ca. Funny how things work out, it's almost
as if this house had just been sitting here waiting for us to
come along. Absolutely everything we'd been looking for
was here. I don't think we could have done better if we
custom built it for ourselves.
Our "post and beam" contruction home was built in 1962
by the Streng Bros architects, no doubt influenced by the
fine Joseph Eichler designs of that same era. There are
several small pockets of these modest but well designed
homes in and around Sacramento. Unfortunately, many
have fallen prey over the years to tasteless remodeling
projects and some, victims of neglect. Many however
have been lovingly preserved or restored by their proud
owners. The previous owners of this house (who were
also the original) took very good care of it. Most of the
original hardware and finishes remain and are still in
great condition. An expansion that was done in the 80's
was carefully planned to preserve the design and
integrity of the original architecture..
So now the fun part begins. Transforming this home
into our new Pariarts ultra- lounge! MARTINILAND!
