With enormous rectangular beams and round log posts, the Spanish Peaks House is a spectacular study in contrasts. Even the exterior—with horizontal log slab siding and vertical wood paneling—mixes textures and styles beautifully. An outdoor rock fireplace, built-in stone grill and ample seating enable the owners to make the most of the mountain-top setting. Inside, the owners relied on Blue Ribbon Builders to capture the natural feel of the home’s surroundings. A massive boulder makes up the hearth in the great room, and provides ideal fireside seating. A custom-made stone replica of Lone Peak is the backsplash in a distinctive powder room; and a giant slab of granite adds the finishing touch to the home’s enviable wood, tile and granite kitchen. In the daylight basement, brushed concrete flooring adds both texture and durability. Roger Wade

Classic rectangular pool coined “The Hampton” creates a stunning vista, set against the backdrop of an expertly landscaped terrain of evergreen and deciduous trees and colorful flowers. Regal steps span the width of the pool, casting elegant shadows and providing ample seating for guests. This paradise is complemented by a contemporary patio and multiple elements of outdoor living, including a shaded pavilion with a fireplace, an outdoor bar, television for entertainment, and seating throughout. This is the private resort-like feel that dreams are made of.

This clean and modern stone fireplace uses the Quarry Mill's Athens thin stone veneer. Athens white to tan color range helps bring a uniform look to your natural stone veneer project. The rectangular shapes with squared edges and various sizes of the Athens stones make it perfect for creating random patterns in projects like accent walls and fireplace surrounds. The selection of stone size also allows for a balanced look without a repeating pattern. Smaller projects like siding for small workshops, surrounding entry or garage doors, and adding accents to mailboxes or light posts are also possible with Athens various stone sizes. Athens light tones add a natural look to any décor or architecture and become a conversation starter with guests.

Here is another view of that big rectangular tub! The base is painted black and if you look close you can see the sand through edges that are subtle, yet still add some character.

Rich blue cabinetry brings depth to this primary bathroom, with a central tower separating the two sink stations. Rounded rectangular mirrors and clear-glass vanity lights soften the strong cabinetry lines, while the freestanding tub and marble-look wainscoting complete the coordinated design.
