The 49th Estate: The wise house


49th-estate_thumb_logo

The 49th Estate is our answer to MTV's "Cribs," a weekly tour of Alaska homes and interviews with their owners.


Emily Mateo is a member service representative at Alaska USA Federal Credit Union, while her fiance is an employee at Costco. They purchased their first house in August 2009, and have added their own personal touches throughout the home. They never want to be without what matters most to them: family and happiness.

Besides decorating and painting, they have added plaques and wall graphics that remind them life is precious and must not be wasted. Warm decor creates a gentle, inviting atmosphere throughout the house. Their home is simple and modern and serves their purposes as a young couple just starting out.
