These Shutters with a split tilt allow for flexibility for letting light in and/or privacy. If your view is partially obstructed, just close the bottom portion of the shutter and keep the top open for a viewing of blue skies and sunshine! This homeowner loves the ease of simply flipping them open during the day and closing them tight in the evening.

The Master’s Bedroom will be used by the client’s daughter who will be entering college soon. Being an avid fan of Disney Princesses, we came up with a theme that incorporates the Disney Princess elements for her room but in a mature approach. Our goal is to maximize the space efficiently in a way where we can fit all the necessary furniture without obstructing any free movement around the room.

Example of a trendy deck design in Seattle

Our space for this storage pantry is in the basement. We closed in a window that was obstructed by a new addition and turned it into a storage area with adjustable shelves. The concrete floor is painted with a two part epoxy floor paint. The counter is made from glued up barn wood that was salvaged and brushed. Photos by Bruce Petrov

CCIFlag designed and created this 1100 sqft deck to maximize outdoor entertainment space. We used Trex Transcends decking materials in the color Island Mist. The Trex decking provide a realistic looking wood product without the maintenance. We created the handrail out of redwood and painted it to match the decking. The cable handrail gives the deck a modern look and does not obstruct the views of the yard or forest.

In this kitchen remodel, we needed to use a portion of the existing cabinets and loose the large peninsula that was obstructing the flow, by adding an island in it's place. We repainted the existing cabinets to match with the new, so you couldn't tell what was old and what was new. In the hearth room, we removed the large, bulky stone corner fireplace and bookcases. We then centered and streamlined the fireplace to open up that corner and expand the room.

From foundation pour to welcome home pours, we loved every step of this residential design. This home takes the term “bringing the outdoors in” to a whole new level! The patio retreats, firepit, and poolside lounge areas allow generous entertaining space for a variety of activities. Coming inside, no outdoor view is obstructed and a color palette of golds, blues, and neutrals brings it all inside. From the dramatic vaulted ceiling to wainscoting accents, no detail was missed. The master suite is exquisite, exuding nothing short of luxury from every angle. We even brought luxury and functionality to the laundry room featuring a barn door entry, island for convenient folding, tiled walls for wet/dry hanging, and custom corner workspace – all anchored with fabulous hexagon tile.

Product: Authentic Limestone for Exterior Living Spaces. Ancient Surfaces Contacts: (212) 461-0245 Email: Sales@ancientsurfaces.com Website: www.AncientSurfaces.com The design of external living spaces is known as the 'Al Fresco' design style as it is called in Italian. 'Al Fresco' translates into 'the open' or 'the cool/fresh exterior'. Customizing a fully functional outdoor kitchen, pizza oven, BBQ, fireplace or Jacuzzi pool spa all out of old reclaimed Mediterranean stone pieces is no easy task and shouldn’t be created out of the lowest common denominator of building materials such as concrete, Indian slates or Turkish travertine. The one thing you can bet the farmhouse on is that when the entire process unravels and when your outdoor living space materializes from the architects rendering to real life, you will be guaranteed a true Mediterranean living experience if your choice of construction material was as authentic and possible to the Southern Mediterranean regions. We believe that the coziness of your surroundings brought about by the creative usage of our antique stone elements will only amplify that authenticity. whether you are enjoying a relaxing time soaking the sun inside one of our Jacuzzi spa stone fountains or sharing unforgettable memories with family and friends while baking your own pizzas in one of our outdoor BBQ pizza ovens, our stone designs will always evoke in most a feeling of euphoria and exultation that one only gets while being on vacation is some exotic European island surrounded with the pristine beauty of indigenous nature and ancient architecture...
