Structured Elegance

Not only is the Hoskins' house very structured, but so are their lives.  "We have made some real conscious decisions in our life about how we live, where we live, what we do, and how we do it," says Deb Hoskins.  Reflective of all the beautiful things they choose to surround themselves with, is the very full and rich life they live day by day. In talking about the home they lived in for 20 years prior to this condominium and where they raised their now 26-year-old daughter, Megan, Michael Hoskins says, "We could have bought a bigger house, but it was near (Louisville) Collegiate (School), which is where we wanted our daughter to go to school.  It was a conscious decision."  And instead of spending money remodeling the house, they would take trips to Europe or send Megan to Europe.  Traveling is definitely at the top of their list of favorite things to do.
