This kitchen in the Farmhouse Plan Charlie (#3634) highlights a perfect balance between modern functionality and classic farmhouse charm. The large central island anchors the space, offering ample room for casual meals and everyday activities. Light-toned cabinetry, warm wood textures, and clean lines create a bright and welcoming atmosphere. Black-framed doors and fixtures add contrast and character, while the open layout ensures a smooth connection with the dining area and staircase. Generous ceiling height and recessed lighting enhance the sense of space, making the kitchen feel airy, practical, and naturally inviting for daily family life.

For this Lake Oconee project, I transformed a secondary living room into an inviting, multifunctional space with a modern transitional style. We started by expanding the room, knocking down a wall, and installing a fully retractable sliding door to open up direct access to the lake. The result is a seamless indoor-outdoor connection that brings the beautiful lakeside view into the room. The layout is thoughtfully divided into four distinct zones, allowing multiple people to gather and enjoy different activities. There's a large, comfortable sectional facing the TV for casual lounging and movie nights, complemented by additional seating areas for more intimate gatherings or conversations. A chaise in one corner creates a cozy reading nook, perfect for quiet relaxation with a view. This space combines comfort and style, making it ideal for both everyday use and entertaining guests.

This custom table features a solid walnut slab with authentic live-edge contours, through which a durable river of green epoxy resin flows. The design merges organic texture with contemporary resilience, offering a spill-resistant surface ideal for daily meals and entertaining. Why It Works in Modern Homes: Material Integrity: Combines the warmth of natural walnut with the practicality of high-gloss, easy-maintain epoxy. Design Versatility: Bridges rustic character and clean-lined modernity, fitting seamlessly into open-plan living spaces, dining rooms, or chef's kitchens. Lived-In Durability: Crafted for active households, ensuring the table remains a centerpiece for years. Ideal for homeowners and designers seeking a conversation-starting piece that balances bold artistry with everyday functionality. Save this idea to your “Dining Room” or “Statement Furniture” ideabook.

Designed as a flexible extension of the main living spaces, this lounge and music room supports a variety of activities, from practicing instruments and reading to gathering with family and friends. The space can remain connected to the main floor or be separated when greater privacy is desired. A custom wood slat feature wall provides architectural warmth while creating a dedicated display for the family’s instruments. As part of the Hearth Residence whole-home renovation, the room reflects a broader focus on adaptable spaces that evolve with changing routines and support everyday family life.

After living in their home for ten years, these homeowners are empty nesters. They went back and forth between remodeling their 2nd floor and creating a backyard oasis. Ultimately, they felt a garage/backyard makeover would best suit their lifestyle. They had no privacy, no shade, and a space longing for attention. Castle Building & Remodeling teamed up with Field Outdoor Spaces to reimagine this space for everyday use, as well as entertaining. The garage, which was previously attached to the house, was completely torn down. The new garage was built from the ground up, closer to the alley. This freed up space for what is now a lovely outdoor kitchen pavilion. Held up by wrapped cedar posts and beams, the ceiling is creatively finished with walnut floor planks. At the ground, stamped concrete was poured to create a stone look. The covered patio extends into a walkway towards the new garage, so the homeowners never have to worry about getting wet when coming and going. This walkway also features motion-activated lights, designed to illuminate the homeowner’s path as he/she enters from the garage. The outdoor cooking/bar area with concrete countertops and stainless steel storage units is the heart of this space. Complete with two ceiling fans, this new space offers privacy, shade, and comfort for parties and everyday use! Tour this project in person, September 28 – 29, during the 2019 Castle Home Tour!

Sited on a quiet street in Palo Alto, this new home is a warmer take on the popular modern farmhouse style. Rather than high contrast and white clapboard, earthy stucco and warm stained cedar set the scene of a forever home for an active and growing young family. The heart of the home is the large kitchen and living spaces opening the entire rear of the house to a lush, private backyard. Downstairs is a full basement, designed to be kid-centric with endless spaces for entertaining. A private master suite on the second level allows for quiet retreat from the chaos and bustle of everyday. Interior Design: Jeanne Moeschler Interior Design Photography: Reed Zelezny
