Holiday in The Highlands Home Tour Features Gracious Ranches With Thoughtful Renovations

Take Suzanne Knudson, for instance, who, along with her husband, Mark, is opening up their Lake Highlands home for this year’s tour. Suzanne took a few moments to answer some questions about her house, her community, and this year’s home tour.
