Roof - What type and color roof is that? Love the color theme, the simplicity of the design with interesting, eccentric details such as the diagonal stripes and the treelike post in the entry. »
Likewise, how great is this lone Adirondack chair on the edge of the built property, facing the wild woods? The color plays off the roof of the vernacular-inspired home. The chair is the icing on the cake here.
Speaking of rugged nostalgia, the Adirondack chair was invented around the same time the wealthy were tiring of their gilded Newport mansions and "roughing it" at their camps in the Adirondacks instead. The chairs were a perfect match for camp architecture.
Let's get things started with the inspiration behind this ideabook, shall we? I saw this gorgeous home a couple months ago and I'm pretty sure I drooled a little. Oh, is that too much info? Sorry. I can't get over the pleasing rugged style and the contrast of colors against the forest behind. It fits in perfectly with its surroundings, and I'm really digging the slightly modern vibe.
A rendition of classic wood tones gets a modern twist. This home utilizes traditional rooflines but is arranged in a unique configuration, creating a true modern-country hybrid.
At first glance this residence looks traditional, and for the most part it is, but the gable end has modern touches: the horizontal banding at the base of the first floor and top of the second floor, the asymmetry of the first floor window, and the carved corner entrance. Note how the last is also highlighted by a tree-trunk column.
I like the warm, earthy colors and like the wood being used for the siding. I like the faux window next to the original. I don't like the "tree pillar."
