The Cracked Peppercorn slate panel feature wall is further elevated with a sleek, wall-mounted TV, seamlessly blending style and functionality. The rich, deep tones of Behr's Cracked Peppercorn highlight the natural texture of the slate, while the minimalist TV setup enhances the modern look without distracting from the wall’s dramatic presence. The combination of the slate’s rugged surface, dark tones, and the clean lines of the mounted TV creates a sophisticated, media-focused focal point, perfect for both entertainment and design appeal.

This guest bathroom, uses a modern board-and-batten design that runs halfway up the wall, painted in Behr's sophisticated Color of the Year, Cracked Peppercorn. The deep, moody gray creates a striking contrast and anchors the room. Above the paneling, the walls are finished in a soft, neutral cream, adding warmth and balance. A subtle dark floral pattern is incorporated into the wallpaper, tying in beautifully with the rich tones of the Cracked Peppercorn below, creating a cohesive and stylish space that feels both modern and welcoming.

Floors had a lot of gapping. So we had to trowel the whole floor with filler.

Reverse Shed Eichler This project is part tear-down, part remodel. The original L-shaped plan allowed the living/ dining/ kitchen wing to be completely re-built while retaining the shell of the bedroom wing virtually intact. The rebuilt entertainment wing was enlarged 50% and covered with a low-slope reverse-shed roof sloping from eleven to thirteen feet. The shed roof floats on a continuous glass clerestory with eight foot transom. Cantilevered steel frames support wood roof beams with eaves of up to ten feet. An interior glass clerestory separates the kitchen and livingroom for sound control. A wall-to-wall skylight illuminates the north wall of the kitchen/family room. New additions at the back of the house add several “sliding” wall planes, where interior walls continue past full-height windows to the exterior, complimenting the typical Eichler indoor-outdoor ceiling and floor planes. The existing bedroom wing has been re-configured on the interior, changing three small bedrooms into two larger ones, and adding a guest suite in part of the original garage. A previous den addition provided the perfect spot for a large master ensuite bath and walk-in closet. Natural materials predominate, with fir ceilings, limestone veneer fireplace walls, anigre veneer cabinets, fir sliding windows and interior doors, bamboo floors, and concrete patios and walks.
