Let's dive right into the new heart of the home and spin out from there, as Hammer's addition/reassembly does. This family room has a strong connection to the outdoors. It shows the original structural system of extended fir post-and-beam construction, and the ceilings throughout the house are crafted of fir decking. Hammer left the ceilings in the original part of the home painted white, while the ceilings in the new addition are natural.
This could be how the living room/kitchen looks if I move kitchen into existing family room on the main floor. It would be off of the sunroom and have a two sided fireplace...
Brick fireplace combines mid century with contemporary scheme, combo of painted and exposed wood ceiling cladding stops wood being overpowering and lightens space
