Inspiration for a mid-sized timeless l-shaped medium tone wood floor and brown floor open concept kitchen remodel in New York with a farmhouse sink, recessed-panel cabinets, white cabinets, marble countertops, white backsplash, glass tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances and an island

This custom home was artfully designed by the architects at Historical Concepts. The “Stemwinder Camp” home is located in the beautiful Balsam Mountain Preserve community, a private, gated mountain, golf, and equestrian enclave in the western North Carolina mountains. The thoughtful details and design of this craftsman-style cottage provide every room with a sunny, bright interior. In the living room, a beautiful yet subtle fireplace adds warmth and quiet elegance without overpowering the space. Stemwinder Camp incorporates carefully crafted elements that create a contemporary feel while honoring classic craftsman design principles.

The upper hall closet was moved back over the top of the stairway to accommodate moving the bathroom door over 15" to create a longer vanity for the guest bath upstairs. The door's hinging was changed to have the door open in front of the shower and toward the vanity. The banjo vanity top allows for additional countertop space as well as a more balanced feel with adding small wall cabinets on either side of the sink. This provides storage space for the guest's amenities without having to use valuable countertop space. The tiled shower with built in shampoo alcove was used to maximize the space in the shower, since an acrylic shower interior is 3" less. To make this bathroom feel more spacious, yet warm and inviting, the client chose Dura Supreme's antique white with espresso glaze.

Sorry the camera could not fit the entire room in ! Craftsman inspired panels for a lower feature wall. Our clients wanted a Traditional look without overpowering their new case work. We feel that we both succeeded... using a classic design from the past. All eight panels measure - 11-1/4" x 21-3/8". We used regular clear glass, nothing special... however we updated the design just a bit by using a Natural Lead Came color, which is a dull Silver / Gray. .

Living room - transitional open concept medium tone wood floor living room idea in San Diego with white walls, no fireplace and a media wall

This space has a new life with a dynamic plum color added to the wall which compliments the abstract piece of art in the room. The furniture is minimal and elegant with clean lines and airy qualities so that they don't overpower the space and carpet. The floating shelves allow for the addition of collectibles and reading material without overpowering the aesthetic of the space.

It is a great opportunity to create a home in Saint Louis, using design criteria, sensitivities and materials associated with the Northwest. Our clients, a world traveled couple whose second home is in Montana, commissioned us to do just that. Over six tons of stone were brought in from Montana to complement the hand built wooden trusses and rough-hewn lumber sourced locally. Having lived in Europe for many years, the couple is sophisticated with specific objectives. The beautiful millwork in the interior and exterior spaces reflects their taste. The gathering room has a vaulted ceiling but is not cavernous due to the dark elements created by the lumber and color selections. The wagon wheel light fixture is a focal point in the room, along with the Montanan stone floor to ceiling fireplace which mirrors the one outdoors. The millwork frames the room and provides the home with its lovely natural, rustic ambience which plays well with lighting and outdoor living spaces. The front façade is closed to the street, but the back explodes, with a wall of doors that open to the outdoor living and landscaping. Outdoor living space includes fabulous millwork, a beautiful stone fireplace which complements the interior fireplace, seating areas, a dining table and a full kitchen. The outdoor kitchen includes a grill, oven, storage, an icemaker and a refrigerator. The lower level is inviting with its millwork, it’s full bar and a home theatre. Again the timber frames the bar area and the rustic feel is defined by the millwork and the Montana stone. The ceiling is tongue in groove with decorative trusses that include peg details and corbels. Decorative outdoor lanterns add to the ambience. Log storage integrated into the main feature, the fireplace. Attention to detail include unusual millwork and lanterns.
