The biggest design challenge for the couple was the separation of space. “It was one big open space except for the enclosed bathrooms and the wall along the kitchen,” Thompson says. “I found two bookshelves and attached a piece of corrugated aluminum roofing to create a partition wall to separate the bedroom from the entry hall and add some privacy.”
How to Use Dry-Stacked Walls With the variety of stone shapes, colors and sizes available, a dry-stacked wall can blend with a variety of architectural styles as well as with the colors and textures in the surrounding landscape. Whatever your style, from rustic to contemporary, a dry-stacked wall can be a functional and attractive option. Low accent wall or seat wall. A low accent wall or retaining wall can be used for seating if capped with a wide, flat stone.
I like this, maybe make it look a little more industrial and more wood. If you’re going to bury your house in the hill, you’re going to have a very dark side,” Fountain says. To combat the darkness, a Kalwall skylight runs the length of the hallway. A barn door made from the same snow-fence wood used for the exterior siding leads to the office.
Soil covers entire sections of the house, creating what Fountain calls an earth roof. He skipped integrating irrigation into the roof and instead made the soil deeper so it would support natural vegetation. The well-insulated roof and the use of other Passive House principles allowed the homeowners to forgo an air conditioner and still maintain consistently comfortable temperatures inside.

What about this as a home? The concept of this tree house began to take shape when the family found Jonker, owner of Azzanarts, who specializes in designing tree houses that defy the ordinary. "I used to design safari lodges in Botswana, Africa," he says. "When the owners of this property requested a tree house, it was important that the theme of it was inclusive of everyone in the family, including their guests of all ages." It's not uncommon for a family party to start with cocktail hour out at the tree house, a half mile from the family's home.
I love the rustic look.
I want a claw foot tub.
I love this fireplace.
I would like an upstairs like this.....4ft walls then the slope of the roof.

Circulation. In a dining room, make sure there’s at least 48 inches between each edge of the table and the nearest wall or piece of furniture. If traffic doesn’t pass behind the chairs on one side of the table, 36 inches should suffice. In bedrooms allow at least 24 inches between the side of the bed and a wall, and at least 36 inches between the bed and a swinging door.
Ilike the tile that has the wood look.
I love the big clock and candles.
Ilove the combination of wood and metal....Stair rail with attitude. Add modern elements of metal, iron or steel cable on a stair rail. Cabins often have double-height great rooms with a focal stair rail. Use this opportunity to mix in some modern detailing.

How to install wood floors in the bathroom. I've installed wood flooring in bathrooms. Not only does it deliver a sweet style, but it's durable, in large part because urethane finishes are fantastic. I always put 15-pound tar paper down to protect the floor from any water that does get through.
Good tips for using wood in the bathroom.
This is the kind of path I want down to the lake with a fire pit down below.
I love this bunk room and the painted ceilings.
First, let's address any concerns you might have about using pallets. Not all pallets are created equally. I'd suggest using non-chemically treated, new, dry, un-weathered pallets for this frame. If you still have worries about using a pallet, you can easily construct the same simple frame from scrap wood. If you do decide to use a pallet, steer clear of anything with an HT or MB stamp. These indicate heat treatment (possibly with chemicals) or methyl bromide treatment. The pallet I used here has no marks, it looks like new wood and it's a smaller pallet, sometimes called a quarter-pallet. I got mine from a kitchen cabinet distributor next to my shop, but you can find new pallets online for less than $20. Pallets can have strong threaded nails in them, too. Make sure you're aware of all nails before cutting into a pallet.
Love this toilet.
