Home bar - mid-sized transitional light wood floor home bar idea with dark wood cabinets, quartz countertops and black countertops

The homeowner felt closed-in with a small entry to the kitchen which blocked off all visual and audio connections to the rest of the first floor. The small and unimportant entry to the kitchen created a bottleneck of circulation between rooms. Our goal was to create an open connection between 1st floor rooms, make the kitchen a focal point and improve general circulation. We removed the major wall between the kitchen & dining room to open up the site lines and expose the full extent of the first floor. We created a new cased opening that framed the kitchen and made the rear Palladian style windows a focal point. White cabinetry was used to keep the kitchen bright and a sharp contrast against the wood floors and exposed brick. We painted the exposed wood beams white to highlight the hand-hewn character. The open kitchen has created a social connection throughout the entire first floor. The communal effect brings this family of four closer together for all occasions. The island table has become the hearth where the family begins and ends there day. It's the perfect room for breaking bread in the most casual and communal way.

Dimension: 95" L X 37" W X 30" H Constructed with a neat design, the Jefferson Single Slab Solid Wood Live Edge Large Dining Table is a beautiful addition to your modern dining room. The table features a single slab of solid Suar wood with no joints, having live edges and natural wood grain pattern in dark and light shades of brown. It gets the contemporary flair from the handcrafted sleek metal base in black that also makes the table easy to maneuver. The table can seat 8 people and make special occasions, festivals, and big get-togethers more fun. Materials: This modern live edge dining table is 100% handcrafted from solid Suar wood and wrought iron, making the piece sturdy and exceptionally visually appealing. Suar, also known as the majestic "rain tree" is the giant tropical rainforest tree. It is a hardwood known for its beautiful straight grains, durability, strength and is often used as a substitute for hardwoods like Walnut and Mahogany. With such properties, the beauty of the Suar wood furniture is easy to retain for years. Special Features: • Solid Suar wood construction • Iron metal base in black Note: Real wood is a product of nature, and as such, no two pieces are alike. Variations in solid wood grain patterns are to be expected and make each furniture uniquely beautiful, just like us humans.

Enclosed dining room - huge traditional light wood floor enclosed dining room idea in Seattle with beige walls and no fireplace

With a modest patio between the home and the pool, the homeowners longed for better entertaining spaces and more connection between their interior, exterior, pool, and second floor. Copper Sky Design + Remodel began this renovation with the removal of a weathered pergola and creating a large opening from their living room to the patio for new sleek accordion steel doors that seamlessly merge the indoor and outdoor spaces. To further elevate the outdoor space, the adjacent patio was covered, and retractable screens and vinyl panels were installed. These features provide flexibility to enjoy the outdoors without the inconvenience of summertime insects, pollen, and unpredictable weather. The ceiling of the newly covered porch was custom designed to discreetly house the electrical components for the motorized screens, maintaining a clean and uncluttered appearance. A spiral staircase was introduced, leading to a second-story deck that spans the width of the home. This addition provides easy access to the outdoors directly from the bedrooms, offering a serene spot for enjoying the stunning views of the backyard. The deck features cable railing, which preserves the unobstructed view, and is adorned with elegant copper post caps. For added privacy, louvered wooden screens were installed at one end of the deck. Given the homeowners' joy for entertaining, this design included the installation of outdoor speakers and color-changing LED lights on the porch ceiling and upper deck railings. The LED lights allow for a customizable ambiance, enabling the homeowners to set the perfect mood for any occasion. Additionally, gas lanterns were added to the porch beams, casting a romantic glow over the pool area, and enhancing the atmosphere for evening gatherings.

This stunning kitchen remodel seamlessly blends functionality and elegance while enhancing the connection to the outdoors. To create an open-concept space, we removed the wall between the kitchen and dining room, maximizing light and flow. The design highlights the beautiful cobblestone patio, outdoor kitchen, and firepit with expanded windows, including an enlarged sink window, a transom window above the sliding door, and an additional window that complements the dining room’s aesthetic. The new kitchen layout includes two-tone cabinets—ivory and purple—that extend to the ceiling with lit upper glass sections for a striking effect. A large, multifunctional island features double rows of cabinets, a microwave drawer, a beverage cooler, a bar sink, and open shelving for culinary books. Additional elements include a built-in refrigerator, double ovens, a full-height pantry, a coffee center with glass displays, and a window bench with storage drawers. The custom oval dining table expands to accommodate the entire family for special occasions. Luxurious touches like radiant-heated porcelain tile floors, a subway artisan tile backsplash with mother-of-pearl mosaic accents, motorized blinds, designer lighting, granite sinks, and brushed gold faucets and hardware complete the design. This kitchen is both functional and a showpiece, tailored for cooking, entertaining, and family gatherings.

Image by 'Ancient Surfaces' Product name: Antique Stone Entryway. Contacts: (212) 461-0245 Email: Sales@ancientsurfaces.com com Website: www.AncientSurfaces.com A majestic ancient limestone portal is a prerequisite to any special home of any style. We have sold a few of those rare and one of a kind stone portals for decades to a network of handpicked antique dealers globally and on occasions directly to a small discerning clientele that reads something like a Forbes 400 list including a few heads of states. Spread out on many continents, separated by oceans but joined by one philosophy. We understand and cater to that school of thought that is as old as collecting itself. It's to have something unique and different then what could be easily obtained in a hardware store, because you're an individual and choose not to conform to the cookie cutter status quo of precast cement and poured concrete. The front of your home is a prologue to what's to come on the inside and tells a lot about who you are and what you chose to surround yourself with should be nothing by the best.

Photographer: Chuck Heiney Crossing the threshold, you know this is the home you’ve always dreamed of. At home in any neighborhood, Pineleigh’s architectural style and family-focused floor plan offers timeless charm yet is geared toward today’s relaxed lifestyle. Full of light, warmth and thoughtful details that make a house a home, Pineleigh enchants from the custom entryway that includes a mahogany door, columns and a peaked roof. Two outdoor porches to the home’s left side offer plenty of spaces to enjoy outdoor living, making this cedar-shake-covered design perfect for a waterfront or woodsy lot. Inside, more than 2,000 square feet await on the main level. The family cook is never isolated in the spacious central kitchen, which is located on the back of the house behind the large, 17 by 30-foot living room and 12 by 18 formal dining room which functions for both formal and casual occasions and is adjacent to the charming screened-in porch and outdoor patio. Distinctive details include a large foyer, a private den/office with built-ins and all of the extras a family needs – an eating banquette in the kitchen as well as a walk-in pantry, first-floor laundry, cleaning closet and a mud room near the 1,000square foot garage stocked with built-in lockers and a three-foot bench. Upstairs is another covered deck and a dreamy 18 by 13-foot master bedroom/bath suite with deck access for enjoying morning coffee or late-night stargazing. Three additional bedrooms and a bath accommodate a growing family, as does the 1,700-square foot lower level, where an additional bar/kitchen with counter, a billiards space and an additional guest bedroom, exercise space and two baths complete the extensive offerings.

This North Bozeman remodeling project showcases an outdoor room addition in the form of a covered second story deck. To see the videos about this project: Part 1: https://youtu.be/NGjuhX6dUzQ Part 2: https://youtu.be/CRC-BjNdnzM This deck addition allows the enjoyment of early morning sun, as well as utilizing the resulting afternoon shade during those hot Bozeman summers. The owners took advantage of the three dimensional modeling of the building to visualize the changes they had in mind. The ability to see multiple visual perspectives of this outdoor room addition, as well as the entire project was a great advantage. The modeling worked to the contractor’s advantage as well, in that the structural components that needed to come together in the creation of this outdoor room addition were clearly illustrated. This covered outdoor room addition presented design challenges as well as opportunity. The challenge was supporting the roof yet not impacting the views. The solution was using a clear span steel truss. This truss design allows unimpeded views to the neighborhood below and sturdy support for the roof structure above. We took this occasion to incorporate a circular steel ring into the truss, giving it an artistic flair. The outdoor room addition ceiling is quite noticeable from the street. With that in mind, as a visual feature we exposed the roof structure. The oversized ridge and beams are visible from all directions below. In reconfiguring the lower level entry, we duplicated the roof structure and truss design, visually tying the upper and lower levels together. This property sits on a highly visible corner lot. The outdoor room addition, the new front entry, and extensive landscaping give this building the proper curb appeal and is a nice addition to the neighborhood.

Let there be light. There will be in this sunny style designed to capture amazing views as well as every ray of sunlight throughout the day. Architectural accents of the past give this modern barn-inspired design a historical look and importance. Custom details enhance both the exterior and interior, giving this home real curb appeal. Decorative brackets and large windows surround the main entrance, welcoming friends and family to the handsome board and batten exterior, which also features a solid stone foundation, varying symmetrical roof lines with interesting pitches, trusses, and a charming cupola over the garage. Once inside, an open floor plan provides both elegance and ease. A central foyer leads into the 2,700-square-foot main floor and directly into a roomy 18 by 19-foot living room with a natural fireplace and soaring ceiling heights open to the second floor where abundant large windows bring the outdoors in. Beyond is an approximately 200 square foot screened porch that looks out over the verdant backyard. To the left is the dining room and open-plan family-style kitchen, which, at 16 by 14-feet, has space to accommodate both everyday family and special occasion gatherings. Abundant counter space, a central island and nearby pantry make it as convenient as it is attractive. Also on this side of the floor plan is the first-floor laundry and a roomy mudroom sure to help you keep your family organized. The plan’s right side includes more private spaces, including a large 12 by 17-foot master bedroom suite with natural fireplace, master bath, sitting area and walk-in closet, and private study/office with a large file room. The 1,100-square foot second level includes two spacious family bedrooms and a cozy 10 by 18-foot loft/sitting area. More fun awaits in the 1,600-square-foot lower level, with an 8 by 12-foot exercise room, a hearth room with fireplace, a billiards and refreshment space and a large home theater.

Outdoor living at it's best. The client asked for a flexible deck on the north side of the property. The other part of the brief was to add privacy. Our solution was layered-privacy, including a recycled plastic screen stage backdrop. The line of bamboo behind the screen was added for privacy and also to aid runoff from the street. Bamboo sucks up water very efficiently. Due to climate change we have developed a number of practical solutions to mitigate challenging drainage situations. Most days this space functions as a lovely lounge and on special occasions, it can be converted to a a dance floor. The recycled plastic laser cut decorative screens are made in Australia. Behind the decorative screen is Graceful Bamboo (Bambusa textilis 'Gracilis') one of the tightest clumpers with stems only 1 inch apart. It grows 25 to 30 feet high and carries foliage on the upper two-thirds of the stems, making the first 8 to 10 feet bare. This bamboo is a tight, vertical grower with graceful, cascading foliage and leaf tips that point downward. A neat grower, with the added bonus that it does not drop as much leaf litter as other varieties. The growth habit makes this variety perfect for tight locations where some height is needed, like the 3 story home next door. In the foreground is the azure blue coy pond we designed and found a marine biologist/ pond expert to build. Tucked under the overhang of the house, which give the fish protection from the birds. The pond shimmers day & night– the ultimate focal point, stocked with colorful coy.
