Exterior painting can be tricky depending on the weather, but with the right tips, you can achieve a lasting finish no matter the season. In cooler weather, choose oil-based paints that can cure better in lower temperatures. For the fall, early mornings or late afternoons are ideal, as direct sun can affect drying times. Ensure surfaces are dry before painting and plan around the weather forecast. Windy days can blow dust onto fresh paint, so be cautious! #sppi #contractor #painter #residentialpainter

Inspiration for a modern home design remodel in San Diego

Welcome to Texas Hill Country living at its finest! This stunning almost new modern farmhouse features a one story 5/3 with 2 half bath home with a movie room, and a guesthouse nestled on over 5+ acres in a fenced neighborhood in Lake Travis ISD with lake access! The home was built in 2021 and was built/designed by the award winning Deville Custom Homes and is the builder's personal home. The home is almost completely wheelchair/ADA accessible, and features a flat lot, an entertaining back yard with a pool for even the youngest of children to enjoy (shallow depths with side walls for the just in case moments), a 30k rainwater collection tank, an inground trampoline, and a partially turfed backyard that meets another sodded acre so the whole group can run barefoot! There is even an inside/outside bathroom that allows those in the pool to quickly run in and out without getting the house wet! All of the small details have been thought about including Christmas plugs in the soffit, RV outlets, wired for solar and an electric vehicle, entire house is wired with Sonos speakers (even the pool) and 8 cameras with an alarm. This home was designed for the entertaining and discerning buyer who wants their privacy but is conscientious and cautious and likes to feel protected. Additional details are: completely spray foamed home, large 12x16 metal storage building that matches the house, level 4 drywall, a large Fleetwood back door, most cactus has been eradicated, 12 foot ceilings in main rooms, and an outdoor kitchen with built in grill and wired for a tv. The guest house features two large full size bunkbeds, an open living area, and a half bathroom (just in case you want your friends to visit but not move in)! Remember to bring your horses and your boat!

A long arched gallery leads to the formal living room. Although classically designed, it features a custom octagonal skylight and a set of bi-folding doors. To the left, an archway opens onto a bar, to the right, the formal dining room, then the den. The decorative tiered ceilings mask the linear air conditioning registers. All cabinetry was cautiously designed and ordered from Canada. Walnut flooring throughout.

We just love the way this one turned out, and are cautiously optimistic it will take home a national award next month! Stay tuned! A little about the space…The homeowners challenged us to come up with a design that incorporates a grand entrance to the pool area. The dual staircases cascading down to the magnificent gunite pool certainly makes for a grand entrance. In addition, we designed and built several vignettes that keep the party going in multiple areas of their outdoor space. Transitioning from a high deck to the pool area, and flowing from both areas was a challenge, but we think it came out pretty awesome. There are so many amenities in this space: Wolf deck, Equinox louvered roof, super custom kitchen with Twin Eagles high-end appliances, sunken fire lounge, multiple tempest torches, and custom PVC skirting. In addition, there is a dry space below with a Knotwood aluminum ceiling, and custom barn doors in Knotwood for access to storage space below. No detail was overlooked when turning the homeowner’s backyard into their own private oasis! Serving NJ, NY, & CT we’ve got you covered!

This single family home sits on a tight, sloped site. Within a modest budget, the goal was to provide direct access to grade at both the front and back of the house. The solution is a multi-split-level home with unconventional relationships between floor levels. Between the entrance level and the lower level of the family room, the kitchen and dining room are located on an interstitial level. Within the stair space “floats” a small bathroom. The generous stair is celebrated with a back-painted red glass wall which treats users to changing refractive ambient light throughout the house. Black brick, grey-tinted glass and mirrors contribute to the reasonably compact massing of the home. A cantilevered upper volume shades south facing windows and the home’s limited material palette meant a more efficient construction process. Cautious landscaping retains water run-off on the sloping site and home offices reduce the client’s use of their vehicle. The house achieves its vision within a modest footprint and with a design restraint that will ensure it becomes a long-lasting asset in the community. Photo by Tom Arban
