Family Room in Rolling Hills Dr | Transitional New Build in Cave Creek, AZ |
Room Type: Whole Home Furnishings |
Project Name: Rolling Hills Dr |
Key Feature: A fully furnished transitional home designed to feel sophisticated and collected without being precious, so the clients could actually live in it and have their grandkids over without a second thought.
Challenge: The clients had just completed a new build and needed a home that reflected their taste and life stage. They wanted something that felt elevated and intentional but not stiff or untouchable. The risk with transitional design at this level is that it can tip too far in either direction, ending up either too formal to live in or too casual to feel designed. Finding that balance in a brand new home with no existing character to work from is harder than it sounds.
Solution: Living with Lolo furnished the entire home with pieces that layered sophistication with genuine comfort. Every selection was made with real life in mind, durable enough for grandkids, beautiful enough for entertaining, and cohesive enough to feel like a designer put it together rather than a furniture showroom. The transitional direction gave the home warmth and timelessness without leaning on trends that would feel dated in a few years.
Materials: Transitional furnishings with a mix of natural textures, comfortable upholstery, layered rugs and textiles, and curated accessories sourced through Living with Lolo's trade relationships.
Budget: $75,000 to $200,000 |
Timeline: Approximately 3 to 6 months from design through installation.

Reclaimed Wormy Chestnut Paneling from Manomin Resawn Timbers covers the walls of this rustic powder room, showing off deep brown and red hues that range from honeyed to dark and moody. The distinct channels and grooves left behind by the worms that followed the Chestnut Blight of 1904 give this rare wood its unmistakable character, pairing beautifully with the slate tile and brass fixtures below and the exposed timber beam overhead.
Very rare and wonderfully unique, this antique wood gets its name from the wormholes left behind before the blight nearly wiped out the American Chestnut tree, making it increasingly difficult to find today. Through our detailed process of denailing, kiln drying, and precision milling, we preserve those distinctive channels and grooves while preparing the wood for a prominent place in a modern home.
Whether you are a homebuilder, a home remodeling contractor, or a homeowner shopping for paneling with real rarity and history, Manomin Resawn Timbers has stunning reclaimed wood to suit your needs. Visit our showroom in Hugo, MN or reach out to us with a call or a message to discover the antique charm of reclaimed wood.

The knotty character of this reclaimed heart pine wide plank floor combined with the varying width of the planks adds a sense of warmth and comfort to this space.
Longleaf heart pine offers the traditional look of pine wide plank flooring with added durability.
“Long leaf” refers to the elongated grouped needles of this conifer, resembling more of a shaped leaf. The way that the tree is milled makes the knot become a prominent part of the planks. The “heart” part of the name refers to the fact that this flooring is derived from the heartwood of the tree, which results in an orange-red color in the flooring and relatively high durability.

Like the Mediterranean island for which it is named, Corsica is a melting pot of timeless design influences with a sun washed ambience and casual attitude. Gracefully shaped architectural forms of Italian, French and Belgian origin are accentuated by a wire brushed artisan finish with a reclaimed character.

AK4002: "The Pour" Skinny Rain
DESCRIPTION:
The light installation is a teardrop-shaped chandelier with deliciously unique lights that celebrate the fascinating nature of raindrops, where no drop is the same as the next. Each drop is hand-blown by artisans and intricately engineered to house the lighting strategy for the chandelier. When you see a light sculpture designed to increase the visual appeal of a room and define its luminous character, you stop on your way to admire it. It’s the case of the Raindrop chandelier known as “The Pour”, a modern light sculpture meant to illuminate and beautify its chosen location to create an architectural relationship with space. The drop itself is constructed of two parts: the brass screw cap, which houses the light, and the hand-blown crystal reflecting the light to create puddles on the floor below. To replicate the nature of raindrops, no two drops are blown identical. The name “The Pour” derives from the distinctive shape that the chandelier forms: an exaggeration of the dramatic motion of water pouring out of a carafe. Designed by forming a grid mimicking how puddles ripple outward in concentric circles, each teardrop is hung to brass pipes of varying lengths. Placed strategically on the grid, the teardrops lock into the mirrored base that fits seamlessly between the two existing columns. The mirrored base reflects the teardrops endlessly into the sky above and when lit. The chandelier echoes rain frozen in time with ephemeral puddles overlaid on the floor below.

10 Ideas for Turning Your Garage into a Modern Industrial Neighborhood Bar
By Elizabeth Aldrich
Host happy hours and cocktail parties worthy of a full page spread – in your own garage.
Leave the brick exposed, the concrete floors as is, and the wood unfinished and it costs more? The sophisticated older brother of the shabby-chic trend, urban industrial style, is taking over. Real estate agents are able to tack on a few extra grand to a flat if they can include “exposed brick” in their advertisements, and designer chefs and master mixologists are moving into warehouses and industrial districts in urban areas across the nation. A friend recently invited me to dinner at Portland, Oregon’s newest, hippest charcuterie spot, and when we pulled up to the building it was in a warehouse where I used to go to underground raves in high school.
These industrial style spaces that were once seen as unfinished or lacking in coziness are now seriously coveted. Their rawness is considered authentic, their grit a mark of character. But if you’re a homeowner, there’s a good chance you already have one of them built right into your house: your garage.
I like to preach about how much people underutilize their garage spaces, piling them full of storage bins they never touch. Whether you turn it into a workspace or a playroom, there’s a lot of value in a creatively-used garage space. For the overly ambitious, the design lover, or the hostess with the mostess, here’s one idea that blows the rest out of the water.
Turn your garage into a multi-purpose, urban industrial wonderland for work and play.
Originally outfitted for factories and warehouses, the industrial style facilitates productivity. Now that it’s also being appreciated as a great aesthetic for bars and restaurants, these rooms can serve both form and function, doubling as work and entertaining spaces. This is great for people who have always dreamed of having that extra basement space for hosting friends, complete with a wet bar and a billiards table, but lack the square footage. Just keep in mind that your friends might love it so much, they’ll start ditching their favorite happy hour spot and showing up at your doorstep instead.
Here are ten ideas forbuilding the perfect workshop by day and cocktail bar by night in your garage.
1. Clean out the space. Get rid of everything you don’t need. Part of the beauty of industrial style designs is their simplicity and abundance of open space. Excessive clutter can make people feel boxed in, and that’s not conducive to productivity or to social activity. Out of sight, out of mind. Build shelving up high for storing must-keep belongings, much like a warehouse.
For bonus points, store your belongings in wooden crates for aesthetic consistency. Or consider stacking them on a pallet, wrapping them in excessive amounts of plastic wrap, and loading them onto the next cross-country freighter. You won’t miss them.
2. Install storage for frequently used objects. The brilliant thing about the urban industrial look is that your tools, tool boxes, and tool storage cabinets already fit right in. Metal storage cabinets and file cabinets are perfect additions to the space. While grey is certainly the color pallet for this style, 50 shades might be a few too many. Mix it up by spray painting one of your cabinetsto add a pop of color. Make a small pegboard to hold up your tools and hang larger items such as bicycles and recreational equipment by pegs. If you have a lot of storage bins that you have to keep, look upward instead of storing them on the floor. Insert a tracking system onto your garage ceiling and slide the bins into place.
For extra credit, get an old locker to use as a coat closet when guests come over.
3. Heat the space.Since you’re not turning the garage into a full-time living space, such as a spare bedroom, you really don’t need to go through the work and additional cost of installing full-blown heating and insulation systems. If you don’t need to use the space when the temperature drops, or if you live in a consistently temperate climate, you might not need to do anything. But if you do want to be able to host people through the winter, a simple garage heater will suffice. Here are some good options for installing garage heating.
Take it one step further, and get a couple patio heaters to help with the next step.
4. Turn your driveway into a patio space. Even the best restaurants and cocktail bars are nothing in the summertime without a solid patio space. Leave the garage door open on warmer nights and invite your guests to go outdoors. Place some stylish folding chairs and a patio table out for comfort. Place a few potted plants here and there to make the space feel more inviting.
For a really lively patio scene, put a portable fire pit out on the driveway or front lawn and surround it with workbenches from your garage.
5. Build your bar. Pick a corner in your garage for the bar, and get started. You can build a bar pretty cheaply and easily with reclaimed pallets, and get some industrial-style barstools. Behind the bar, you’ll have both your tools and your liquor, and there’s no need to build expensive cabinetry. If you’re serving quality, why cover it up? Build shelving or open cubicles to house your liquor. Put out metal buckets filled with ice to chill beers.Be sure to serve up cocktails worthy of the space. The Hemingway Daiquiri served straight up is a unique way to dress down, or industrialize, a traditionally frou-frou cocktail.
To go the extra mile, build a bar with laid brick.Install an extra fridge in the garage so you can avoid having to trek into the kitchen to refill chilled drinks, and you can store dips, vegetables, and other hors d'oeuvres right at your fingertips.
6. Bring on the games. To really turn your hosting space into a fun time, be sure to offer ample play options. For the low on space, a dart board will suffice, whereas if you’ve got a five-car garage and can’t manage to fill the space, put in a couple billiard tables. Ping pong tables are ideal for most because they’re great fun and can easily be folded up and stored.
If you want to keep your guests playing until the wee hours of the morning, get an old pinball machine, a vintage arcade game, or a small Skee-Ball alley.
7. The heart of your space.Build along worktable that doubles as a table for your guests right in the center of your garage. It should be tall enough to be used while standing, although you can place a few barstools along with it. Having a table space for drinks but limited seating will encourage guests to walk around and mingle. Build it out of wood and make sure to maintain a natural finish.
Don’t be afraid to rough up the work table by day. The dings and marks created while you build will only lend authenticity to the piece.
8. Install lighting. Remember, the urban industrial style is all about function and showcasing materials in their raw form. There’s no need to buy expensive floor lamps or install a fancy lighting system. The most popular lighting in these types of spaces is exposed bulb lighting. Just open up the wiring on your current lighting system and drop down some bulbs.
For additional lighting, string up exposed bulb patio lights and place some vintage metal desk lamps on the tables and bar area.
9. Brand your space. Use the designs for the stuff you build by day as wall art. Blow up sketches, blueprints, schematics, and architectural drawings to hang up for decoration. Choose one wall that could use a splash of color, perhaps the wall behind your bar, and get a friend to paint a mural, or whip out the spray paint for a real urban feel.
Splurge a little and get a custom neon sign made of your last name or the word “bar” to hang behind the bar.
10. The garage door. For the finishing touch, and to really wow your guests, get a brand new modern, industrial style garage door installed. Look for the window-paneled types that restaurants use, like this contemporary aluminum and glass beauty. You can leave it half open when you want to utilize your driveway-patio space.
On nights when you have to close it all the way, the glass panels let your guests still look out onto the stars, making it feel like a patio space even when it’s too cold for one.
Once your garage bar is up and running, put on your denim suit and get ready to call yourself the Joneses. No one will be able to keep up with you.

This handcrafted Ash bar stool combines everyday functionality with meaningful craftsmanship, creating seating that's as personal as it is practical. Built from solid USA-sourced Ash hardwood, this custom bar stool features a clean, modern profile with custom-fabricated metal legs and a one-of-a-kind epoxy inlay, making it a beautiful addition to kitchen islands, home bars, breakfast counters, and entertainment spaces.
Created for a client in Howell, Michigan, this custom hardwood bar stool was designed to celebrate the family's story. The seat features a detailed epoxy inlay of an excavator, honoring the client's family history and career, while the custom metal legs were fabricated into the shape of an "L" to represent their family name. Together, these personalized details transform a simple bar stool into a meaningful heirloom that reflects the people who use it every day.
The light, natural grain of the Ash hardwood creates a warm, contemporary appearance that allows the custom details to take center stage without overwhelming the design. Comfortable enough for everyday meals yet distinctive enough to become a conversation piece, this stool demonstrates how custom furniture can combine lasting functionality with personal significance.
Unlike mass-produced bar stools made from particle board, imported hardwood substitutes, or thin veneers, our seating is handcrafted from solid hardwood that's built to withstand everyday use for generations. Every piece of wood is individually selected for its strength, beauty, and natural character, ensuring each stool is truly one of a kind while offering exceptional durability that grows more beautiful with age.

The Lisburn door style reflects the character and craftsmanship of the past with clean lines of today. The countertop is by Cambria and named for an English town; Bellingham, but, represents the River North Tyne that runs through the town. It has marble-like waves of dark gray and black that swirl about creams and light grays, proving it to be both casual and elegant. A beverage center and added cabinet organization increase functionality. This kitchen is inviting and functional using every inch of space.
The two-tone cabinets by Echelon are in Maple, door style Lisburn, the colors both bright and warm in Linen and Double Espresso. A warm and natural looking Maple Gray Stone engineered hardwood floor by Somerset finishes the space.
