Holiday Home Tour
Norris and Lori Marshall
186 W Road
This spectacular Platte River Retreat is truly a one-of-a kind property! The 5,000 square foot home was built in 1998 by Bill Hines Construction. 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms give ample room for visiting family. Their decorating style is simple…whatever they like! The primary bedroom closet was designed by a good friend of Lori’s, Gay Longfellow, and the chaise lounge was once in Norris’ family barn having been restored by Lori’s sister and Norris. In the family room are “Stations of the Cross” purchased at a KCHS GOLD auction. One of the upstairs bedrooms was painted by their daughter, Amber, using a Dragon and Dungeon theme. Christmas décor is mainly traditional with a Blair Witch Tree and a nutcracker collection in the kitchen.
Marshall's 4,000 SQ. FT. Barn
Also included on the Holiday Home Tour is the Marshall’s 4,000 square foot barn. Built in 2023 by Chief Construction, this barn was created as a space to entertain family and friends and as a tribute to Lori’s parents, who gifted their original family barn from the early 1900’s, to Lori. The wood and numerous mementos from the original barn were used in the construction of the new barn. With a seating capacity of 200 people, the barn has 3 bathrooms and an industrial kitchen, which was designed after the kitchen at St. James Catholic Church, where Lori volunteers. It allows for ease of entertaining or to have events catered. A handicap bathroom features the original 1930’s cast iron sink from the family farmhouse. A custom-made vanity with a petrified wood sink and a window shade made from an original family barn photo adorn another bathroom. The Christmas décor features stocking holders with their children’s last names on the massive floor to ceiling fireplace, a 15’ tree and hand painted ornaments. Decorating assistance provided by Indigo Bungalow.
