After..... My client wanted a range hood to hide the "awful stainless vent fan" but did not want to replace the entire cabinet and have a range hood installed. So I designed a cover for the vent and matched the existing cabinet and utlized the cabinet underneath. It also provides hidden storage and access to electrical for the vent as the front of the hood is removable.

The client commissioned a beautiful custom-painted barn door from local artist Judy McCoubrey. This doorway provides access through the dining and living room to the mudroom and garages. https://www.instagram.com/judymccoubreypainting/

Land2c Photo Exterior of chicken run and pots for herbs on new, graceful stairs. The old chicken coop and run was demolished and a new, custom coop and run were tucked under the deck. and stairs. Star Jasmine isplanted around the run-- not harmful to chickens. As it grows it will blend the run into the garden and create more shady areas for the chickens. Human access to the run is concealed as one of the frame squares. The frame will be painted to match the house trim color. Dark vinyl coated chicken wire was used to be less visually noticeable. The stair pots provide room for herbs to grow.

Lakefront living is not often luxurious and conscious of size. The “Emmett” design achieves both of these goals in style. Despite being ideal for a narrow waterfront lot, this home leaves nothing wanting, offering homeowners three full floors of modern living. Dining, kitchen, and living areas flank the outdoor patio space, while three bedrooms plus a master suite are located on the upper level. The lower level provides additional gathering space and a bunk room, as well as a “beach bath” with walkout access to the lake.
