Living room - transitional living room idea in New York

This separate dining room is part of a different apartment. You CAN mix styles. Country baskets and banquettes (from Zentique), modern table and china cabinet (from The Door Store).

This custom home is derived from Chinese symbolism. The color red symbolizes luck, happiness and joy in the Chinese culture. The number 8 is the most prosperous number in Chinese culture. A custom 8 branch tree is showcased on an island in the pool and a red wall serves as the background for this piece of art. The home was designed in a L-shape to take advantage of the lake view from all areas of the home. The open floor plan features indoor/outdoor living with a generous lanai, three balconies and sliding glass walls that transform the home into a single indoor/outdoor space. An ARDA for Custom Home Design goes to Phil Kean Design Group Designer: Phil Kean Design Group From: Winter Park, Florida

When full-time Massachusetts residents contemplate building a second home in Telluride, Colorado the question immediately arises; does it make most sense to hire a regionally based Rocky Mountain architect or a sea level architect conveniently located for all of the rigorous collaboration required for successful bespoke home design. Determined to prove the latter true, Siemasko + Verbridge accompanied the potential client as they scoured the undulating Telluride landscape in search of the perfect house site. The selected site’s harmonious balance of untouched meadow rising up to meet the edge of an aspen grove and the opposing 180 degree view of Wilson’s Range spoke to everyone. A plateau just beyond a fork in the meadow provided a natural flatland, requiring little excavation and yet the right amount of upland slope to capture the views. The intrinsic character of the site was only enriched by an elk trail and snake-rail fence. Establishing the expanse of Wilson’s range would be best served by rejecting the notion of selected views, the central sweeping curve of the roof inverts a small saddle in the range with which it is perfectly aligned. The soaring wave of custom windows and the open floor plan make the relatively modest house feel sizable despite its footprint of just under 2,000 square feet. Officially a two bedroom home, the bunk room and loft allow the home to comfortably sleep ten, encouraging large gatherings of family and friends. The home is completely off the grid in response to the unique and fragile qualities of the landscape. Great care was taken to respect the regions vernacular through the use of mostly native materials and a palette derived from the terrain found at 9,820 feet above sea level.

Dining alcove. My husband and I combined our furniture from "our previous lives" to create eclectic living spaces. His antique table and legal bookcase (which I use to display china and stemware) and my Crate & Barrel dining chairs.

Double front glass entry door with 24" tall transoms adjacent to stairs to lower level. The stairway has box wood newel posts and contemporary handrail with iron balusters. A full arched niche welcomes at the foyer walking into the open concept living space. Engineered hickory wood floors throughout the main level. (Ryan Hainey)

Great room with cathedral ceiling. In a room this size, one should create two seating areas. The small seating area in the far corner lends itself to more intimate conversations. The bold canopy-stripe armless chairs from Ballard Designs balance the impact of the black baby grand in the left corner. Pace mid-century corset chairs in butterscotch leather were purchased at an antiques store in Lambertville, N.J. Crackled glass genie lamps from Pier 1 Imports.

Library leading out to the sun room. Wall-mounted TV with rotating extension arm fits snugly against the wall when not in use. Below the TV are 3 nesting wrought-iron garden tables I use to house the cable box, DVD player, etc. My motto: "Re-use and re-purpose!!"
