gotcha :) I will keep that in mind while I snoop around

Always interested to see what kind of stove people buy when money is no object.

These cabinets are actually reclaimed fir.

What color of stain did you use? Also, this is the most beautiful home. I love everything about it. It has that old Montana look but so elegant. Nice job!

Thanks! We worked with some very talented masons on this home. You are seeing the corner of a 2-sided fireplace.

I admire your designs.I'M LOOKING AT YOU EVERY NIGHT AND TURKISH DESIGNS TO CORDIALLY CONGRATULATE YOU

The flooring is reclaimed fir. Our contractors, OSM, sourced the material from various lumber yards.

What kind of cabinets are they (brand, color)

Thank you!

These cabinets are recycled fir with a Potassium Permanganate wash and a top coat of slightly tinted dead flat polyurethane.

Also how tall are the ceilings?

The hood was custom made by a local blacksmith

Rustic. Note the windows and the light fixtures by them.

These are made of fir and were fabricated by a local workroom.

LOVE the kitchen as well! Where are the light fixtures from over the island? Or the name of them and the manufacture?

Thank you for your kind words. The beam work in these homes varies on the product that can be sourced. What you see here is 100% reclaimed material, so the columns that support the overhead beams are determined by engineering and what the overall scale should be to keep the space balanced.

Another Question then. I have 2 beams.that I purchased. along with 6,000 bf of reclaimed Walnut rough cut lumber which is going on the interior of my home as well as other reno right now..This is an Amish Barn that has been reclaimed , 75 year old lumber. The beams I have..the 1st , Will be a header on my project of enclosed four season porch with french doors on each end. The 2nd , which is not as long. will be cut to size as the 3 legs beneath the 1st beam@ 6 feet in height across a 32 x15 area. .. The solid Header Beam, is 24 feet long, 15 x 15 inches , both are amazingly gorgeous Hand Hewn Walnut. I am contracting my project myself. However, This beam weight has me concerned.I am in a rural area and the assumption of contractors here is not something I need to take for granted((,been there done that and with bad results)).. altho contractors here in this rural area seem to know everyththing especially when it comes to me being a female and the fact that I am contracting my project myself? lol (just a bit of humor) Which is why I am doing this myself., I got burned on 37,00 of exterior on my home, with after leaks....so, I choose to make sure it is done correctly. I am a rather safe than sorry girl. I want ample footings as well as solidity on the poured area which already existsWith NO futuristic problems from inadequately being done NOW.. I am intending to dig out , beneath the outer area several feet..(rather more than less) most likely of apporopriate addition of footing and general slab .. and pour appropriate addition to what is already there down to solid ground but thought you may have a suggested ..( rather more than less number) of what you would pour for this size and weight on this area for this beam. you know they are massive in weight being hardwood even with them being 75 years old. If I need to contract a fee we can discuss this and I will contact you in the office please advise me to reply. However you have the measurements and specifics herein. I am in Arkansas which is rather close to you. Thank you So much, In advance. Shona Christy

We used Lagos Azul with a flat, polished edge in this kitchen. Limestone is a beautiful product but it does age / patina with use.

Love your work! I have a log home in Anamosa Iowa that I am struggling with, we have Stone City Limestone with Blue Engleman Spruce, swedish cope logs. The logs have a wild pattern - can be tiger striped (orange and white), but then can have blue in it too. Trying to stain the logs, it is difficult because you can go from very light to very dark all in the same log. Any thoughts you might have would be very appreciated. Do you do work via email/internet?

The flooring in this house was all reclaimed boards, in this case, the species is fir. Your contractor should be able to source through lumber yards that specialize in reclaimed material. Good luck!

This chandelier was designed by the architect, Larry Pearson, and made by a local blacksmith, Wil Wilkins.

We purchased the Navajos for this project from a various antique dealers in Atlanta and Montana.

This was custom made by a local blacksmith. Hand forged iron.

This is the only angle we have in our professional shots, I apologize. The back wall which starts at the bottom right of the photo, is simply a run of lower cabinet doors / drawers with uppers above.
