added by Lisa Frederick to Houzz Tour: 'Hobbit House' in Pennsylvania Countryside

Custom light fixtures in the reception area lend period flavor; textured stucco inlaid with slivers of roof tile cloaks the fireplace. An arch and rafters made from Douglas fir define the ceiling and add to the air of exquisite craftsmanship.Timber framing: Summerbeam Woodworking, Oxford, Pennsylvania; interior and exterior millwork: French Creek Woodworking, Elverson, Pennsylvania; lighting: Vintage Lighting, Malvern, Pennsylvania

added by Vanessa Brunner to 25 Most Bookmarked Houzz Tours of 2012

4. 'Hobbit House' in the Pennsylvania CountrysideInspired by the quirky hobbit dwellings in J.R.R. Tolkien's books, this incredible home in Pennsylvania embraces the fantasy of these stories but brings it into a practical realm for the family who owns it.

This is really something to examine in our house entry. Presently, our entry is squished flush into a nice but more modestly sized Living Room. We do have a nice Family Room that serves us well too.
