5.	HOME AND GARDEN OF MR. AND MRS. PETER SHAM BRA. 7887 HILO WAV. This home was designed by the owners, to reflect their interests and personalities, and was built in 1992. Mrs. Shambra’s love of plants is evident in the abundance of windows that allow her to grow many indoor plants. She has been collecting growing, showing, and propagating African violets for many years. Mrs. Shambra’s “crafty” side is displayed in the innovative use of coordinating fabrics and wallpaper borders throughout the home. Mr. Shambra’s hobby is jigsaw puzzles, and many are framed and hung throughout the home. They have several antique silver and crystal pieces, inherited from her grandmother and his mother. The relaxing covered patio is home to many plants and hanging baskets, in all seasons. Mrs. Shambra created the yard from scratch, with the help of three Hancock High students. She loves growing upright plants and this is evident in the abundant use of trellises, both freestanding and against the fence.
