2011 NARI CAPITAL COTY FINALIST AWARD WINNER This 1970’s split-level single-family home in an upscale Arlington neighborhood had been neglected for years. With his surrounding neighbors all doing major exterior and interior remodeling, however, the owner decided it was time to renovate his property as well. After several consultation meetings with the design team at Michael Nash Design, Build & Homes, he settled on an exterior layout to create an Art & Craft design for the home. It all got started by excavating the front and left side of the house and attaching a wrap-around stone porch. Key design attributes include a black metal roof, large tapered columns, blue and grey random style flag stone, beaded stain ceiling paneling and an octagonal seating area on the left side of this porch. The front porch has a wide stairway and another set of stairs leads to the back yard. All exterior walls of the home were modified with new headers to allow much larger custom-made windows, new front doors garage doors, and French side and back doors. A custom-designed mahogany front door with leaded glass provides more light and offers a wider entrance into the home’s living area. Design challenges included removing the entire face of the home and then adding new insulation, Tyvek and Hardiplank siding. The use of high-efficiency low-e windows makes the home air tight. The Arts & Crafts design touches include the front gable over the front porch, the prairie-style grill pattern on the windows and doors, the use of tapered columns sitting over stone columns and the leaded glass front door. Decorative exterior lighting provides the finishing touches to this look. Inside, custom woodwork, crown molding, custom glass cabinets and interior pillars carry the design. Upon entering the space, visitors face a large partition that separates the living area from a gourmet Arts & Crafts kitchen and dining room. The home’s signature space, the kitchen offers contrasting dark and light cherry cabinets. Wide plank hard wood floors, exotic granite counters and stainless steel professional-grade appliances make this a kitchen fit for any chef.

Change your dining room to fit the occasion with an elegant table that can be as formal or casual as you want. Settle into hand-upholstered chairs and take it all in. Patterns that merrily repeat, from deep-pile rug to candleholders. Dazzling dinnerware that encircles every serving in a golden glow. Pendants that reflect and refract their dappled lights on stemware and a glass table top. And foiled table linens that soften your entertaining perfectly.

Concrete can be made to look like any substance. Tile, stone, wood, brick, etc. With unlimited color options, Ky-Kan Coatings can transform any room in your home or business using lightweight, beautiful concrete.

Why settle for one movie when the whole family can watch two? We designed and installed a dual cinema with a pair of side-by-side theaters in the same room, each with its own projector, screen, and Dolby Atmos surround sound. The walls and beamed ceiling are wrapped in one deep, enveloping shade, and a velvet sectional, sheepskin pillows, and faux fur throws make every seat feel like the best one in the house. A picture light warms an agate-inspired painting on the far wall, and teal velvet drapes frame the arched doorway back to the lounge.

Our Lone Mountain project in Peoria was in need of an update. The home had a traditional separated kitchen and dining room which our client didn’t like – they wanted an open concept. When picking the cabinet finish, our client was look for something different than an all white kitchen. They wanted something with an impact. So, we settled on a deep blue poplar stain. To pull in an accent color, we used a warm brown stain for the floating shelves and buffet cabinets near the dining room. We also tied this in on the drywall hood. To add a pop of color, we used a fun patterned tile for the backsplash to tie everything together. Our client put in a special request for something he just had to have – a beer tap! This was a first for us, but we were happy to accommodate. Lastly, we replaced the flooring throughout the house to a luxury vinyl that is sure to withstand the wear and tear of kids and pets. Our Lone Mountain project had a huge transformation and feels like and entirely different home! Taking down the wall made a big difference and allowed us to expand the kitchen into a larger, more functional space.
