Farmhouse 3018 is artisan crafted of NativeStone, an innovative, remarkably strong blend of cement and jute fiber that is surprisingly lightweight for concrete, extraordinarily heavy-duty in the kitchen, and refreshingly easy when it comes to clean-up.

"We wanted to keep as many of the old, original details as possible, but add our own spin to it," says Catherine. A leather club chair, Bryan's favorite piece in the house, anchors the grouping and imbues the space with a loft-like feel. Classically styled furnishings allow the home's interesting qualities to take center stage, as well as provide Bryan and Catherine with a neutral canvas for decorating throughout the year. "We would rather have a plain beige comfy couch that we can easily add different pillows to as moods and seasons change," Catherine explains. Leather chair: Crate & Barrel

This Boulder, Colorado remodel by fuentesdesign demonstrates the possibility of renewal in American suburbs, and Passive House design principles. Once an inefficient single story 1,000 square-foot ranch house with a forced air furnace, has been transformed into a two-story, solar powered 2500 square-foot three bedroom home ready for the next generation. The new design for the home is modern with a sustainable theme, incorporating a palette of natural materials including; reclaimed wood finishes, FSC-certified pine Zola windows and doors, and natural earth and lime plasters that soften the interior and crisp contemporary exterior with a flavor of the west. A Ninety-percent efficient energy recovery fresh air ventilation system provides constant filtered fresh air to every room. The existing interior brick was removed and replaced with insulation. The remaining heating and cooling loads are easily met with the highest degree of comfort via a mini-split heat pump, the peak heat load has been cut by a factor of 4, despite the house doubling in size. During the coldest part of the Colorado winter, a wood stove for ambiance and low carbon back up heat creates a special place in both the living and kitchen area, and upstairs loft. This ultra energy efficient home relies on extremely high levels of insulation, air-tight detailing and construction, and the implementation of high performance, custom made European windows and doors by Zola Windows. Zola’s ThermoPlus Clad line, which boasts R-11 triple glazing and is thermally broken with a layer of patented German Purenit®, was selected for the project. These windows also provide a seamless indoor/outdoor connection, with 9′ wide folding doors from the dining area and a matching 9′ wide custom countertop folding window that opens the kitchen up to a grassy court where mature trees provide shade and extend the living space during the summer months. With air-tight construction, this home meets the Passive House Retrofit (EnerPHit) air-tightness standard of

This is a his and hers vanity set up with a sunken make up area. The counter tops are a white and grey marble, the cabinets are a hi-gloss thermofoil called Linear Silver. The raised vessel sinks and full height glass mosaic back splash make a stunning statement. The mirror is framed with a metal and glass boarder and was custom sized for this space.

This pool has every feature one could desire. From multiple fire features to various waterfalls, the senses are always engaged in this outdoor space. The Baja shelf allows for shallow sitting relaxation. The swim up grotto is hidden by a continuous water fall and offers bench seating inside. The deck above is nearly 8 feet high off the ground level in order to capture the panoramic ocean views. Complete with a large built in infinity edge spa, fire feature and bubble fountains, the deck space is an entertainers dream.

Flexing their skills as DIYers, the couple designed and built a floating mantel to highlight the fireplace. Its modern lines play against rich grain and warm tones to embody the marriage of Bryan and Catherine’s diverse styles. “Our style is unique because we tend to mix elements of different design styles,” Catherine says. “We love mixing old and new, masculine and feminine, and so on…. He tends to gravitate toward contemporary, sleek designs, where I gravitate toward more eclectic, feminine elements.” Instructions for creating a mantlepice like this one can be found on the Williamson's blog: www.beginninginthemiddle.net/2014/12/30/i-just-want-brick/

Lots of layers cozy up this loft-like room in a New York minute. There’s a (gentle) edge to this citified space, thanks to modern, clean-lined furnishings and a sophisticated mix of materials. Texture? We’ve got plenty—from leather, chrome, and nubby wool to warm, rough-sawn oak accented with cool metal hardware. P.S. The beautiful bedding medley is a sight for sore eyes after late nights on the town. Products – Lincoln Bed, Bergen Night Table, Merrick Night Table, Kennan Quilt
