Our pioneer project, Casita de Tierra in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua, showcases the natural building techniques of a rubble trench foundation, earthbag construction, natural plasters, earthen floors, and a composting toilet. Our earthbag wall system consists of locally available, cost-efficient, polypropylene bags that are filled with a formula of clay and aggregate unearthed from our building site. The bags are stacked like bricks in running bonds, which are strengthened by courses of barbed wire laid between each row, and tamped into place. The walls are then plastered with a mix composed of clay, sand, soil and straw, and are followed by gypsum and lime renders to create attractive walls. The casita exhibits a load-bearing wall system demonstrating that thick earthen walls, with no rebar or cement, can support a roofing structure. We, also, installed earthen floors, created an indoor dry-composting toilet system, utilized local woods for the furniture, routed all grey water to the outdoor garden, and maximized air flow by including cross-ventilating screened windows below the natural palm frond and cane roof. Casita de Tierra exemplifies an economically efficient, structurally sound, aesthetically pleasing, environmentally kind, and socially responsible home.

A striking island occupies the center of a spacious kitchen in Bloomfield Hills. The HPL backed real wood veneer in Ebony Sabbiata from Tree Frog bridges the tonal distance between the walnut floors and all white cabinets and walls, creating harmony and visual balance. Full height backsplashes in shiny white are laid out in a windmill pattern, punctuated every so often with intricately designed accent squares. A combination of bold veining and delicate blooming on the Calacatta quartzite countertops contributes its subtle energy to the mix. The kitchen is separated into several independent vignettes, each one laid out symmetrically. The vast island with built in sink offers all the prep space a chef could need. The built in cooktop is centered directly behind to facilitate easy cooking, while an additional sink in the clean up area expedites after dinner chores. A walk-pantry and small home office are tucked in behind the refrigerator freezer wall. Multiple lighting details, including lighted cabinet interiors and a lighted display niche above the refrigerator, complete this stunning 2015 lake home.

The blanket chest under the window was found early in the project and was purchased already painted with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. It became the inspiration to save the rock solid 1950s maple bedroom set inherited from a parent. We had it painted with the same technique. The upholstered chair and the oriental-style rug were too new for the homeowner to part with, so the fabric for the custom Roman shades was chosen to complement both of them.

BlueStar Regional Winner Debbie Gottlieb, Finelines Interiors Location: Armonk, NY Project Name: Modern Rustic Farmhouse My inspiration for this Kitchen was a modern barn. I wanted the cabinetry to be worn in and rustic hence the wire brushed technique with Cerused Oak with a splash of the stove color Plum. The theme Modern, Rustic, Organic reflects the home’s awe-inspiring Berkshire Mountains setting.

Front of this traditional colonial after BioCalce Classico Limewash paint application, a specially formulated, slow-set slaked lime paint. It is applied as a one-coat process to a dampen brick then washed off with a garden hose spray nozzle. It is much easier than German Smear effect and it instantly gives you an antique patina. Color is Avorio White by ROMABIO. Available for purchase on Home Depot website.
