Asked to collaberate on the interior layout of this classic post and beam mountaintop home, I arrived to find that the view was spectacular. One problem…………no walls to speak of for kitchen cabinets and appliances. Inspired by that view, the owner had chosen to remove all the first story interior walls from the original plan. Armed with the owner’s massive list of professional grade appliances (including an IL FORNO wood burning pizza oven!) and storage and seating needs, I got to work. The theme took it’s cues from the massive 2 story stone fireplace and rustic support beams. It came to shape as a fully functional space that would showcase the stunning view. Creating a central bar with the same stone for both back wall and backsplash really pulled the space together. Cabinetry with ” pegged”‘ doors and a distressed alder finish were chosen to give the open floorplan a homey but luxurious feel.
