Since 2017, when she and her husband purchased their Bloomington house, they’d at all times puzzled who painted the massive nature mural of their basement, which is a chosen play zone for her two daughters, ages 6 and eight. They figured it needed to do with the unique homeowners, as a result of the house is a 1963 rambler-style ranch home, however they might by no means determine it out.
“Everybody who involves the home is like, ‘What’s the story? Who painted the Bob Ross mural in your basement?‘” she stated.
It was much like the one in Steve Jensen’s place. The earlier homeowners had died and left the house to their kids, who then bought it. However the kids had little details about the mural.
The Jensens’ place was in-built 1960, and the Krugers’ in 1963. And neither household ever painted over their mural. And each murals have that very same lone cabin perched by a glistening, idyllic lake.
Sharon Norlander of Brooklyn Park lastly acknowledged the portray on the wall in the home the place she’s lived along with her husband, Mark, for the previous 35 years.
