Welcome to the essential refined mountain rustic home: warm, homey, and sturdy. The house’s structure is genuine heavy timber framing, skillfully constructed with mortise and tenon joinery. Distressed beams and posts have been reclaimed from old American barns to enjoy a second life as they define varied, inviting spaces. Traditional carpentry is at its best in the great room’s exquisitely crafted wood trusses. Rugged Lodge is a retreat that’s hard to return from.

This project received the award for the 2010 CT Homebuilder's Association Best Bathroom Renovation. It features a 5500 pound solid boulder bathtub, radius glass block shower with two walls covered in book matched full slabs of marble, and reclaimed wide board rustic white oak floors installed over hydronic radiant heat in the concrete floor slab. This bathroom also incorporates a great deal of salvage and reclaimed materials including the 1800's piano legs which were used to create the vanity, an antique cherry corner cabinet was built into the wainscot paneling, chestnut barn timbers were added for effect and also serve as a channel to deliver water supply to the shower via a rain shower head and to the tub via a Kohler laminar flow tub filler. The entire addition was built with 2x8 wall framing and has been filled with full cavity open cell spray foam. The frost walls and floor slab were insulated with 2" R-10 EPS to provide a complete thermal break from the exterior climate. Radiant heat was poured into the floor slab and wraps the lower 3rd of the tub which is below the floor in order to keep the thermal mass hot. Marvin Ultimate double hung windows were used throughout. Another unusual detail is the Corten ceiling panels that were applied to the vaulted ceiling. Each Corten corrugated steel panel was propped up in a field and sprayed with a 50/50 solution of vinegar and hydrogen peroxide for approx. 4 weeks to accelerate the rust process until the desired effect was achieved. Then panels were then cleaned and coated with 4 coats of matte finish polyurethane to seal the finished product. The results are stunning and look incredible next to a hand made metal and blown glass chandelier.

Surface runoff gathers in this new rain garden, densely planted with ornamentals and natives. The elongated pavers are recycled concrete from the existing patio space.

Boulders blend the line between the gravel road and the mulch landscaping beds. This adds an element of less formal support (see comparison in Versa-Lok wall above the rock that helps hold the side hill back) to prevent the planting beds from washing down. A downspout is buried and the outlet concealed within the boulder system. Excess water runs out through the rocks...this creates a fast track bypass for rain collected by the roof...which also alleviates the washout risk in the beds.

James Bankhead - Sunscreen Roller Blinds, Fabric Colour: Universal Charcoal, Back Rolled, Outside Mount ; I am delighted with the results I have achieved from the sunscreen roller blinds from iseekblinds. The blinds are effective in blocking the UV rays and glare which would otherwise penetrate the floor to ceiling windows in my apartment and they do this in a way which does not unduly interfere with my view of Fitzroy gardens. I tend to keep the sunscreen blinds closed for most of the year so as to protect my couch and other furnishings from discolouration from excessive light exposure. They also diffuse the light making it more pleasant and hospitable to be home. In the bedrooms, I have used the "Clearview & Vibe Xtra Block-out" products which provide an adjustable degree of privacy during the day (I generally keep the sunscreen closed for light diffusion purposes) and full privacy at night (with the block-out). Installing the blinds was easy; I invited a friend over and we completed the whole apartment in a couple of hours. Given that this was the first time I had ever used a screwdriver I suspect other's will not take so long. I would recommend the use of the spring assist on larger blinds, and linking blinds where possible to accelerate the process of opening and closing each day. Overall, I had a terrific experience with iseekblinds and would recommend this company to others looking for a high quality, bespoke and affordable product.
