The Home Inspired by a family’s desire for peace and serenity, this beautiful updated twist on the modern farmhouse is a dream come true for this Texas family that now calls Colorado their home. Placed perfectly on a higher elevation of Flying Horse, this sanctuary takes its queues from the restorative nature of the cooler hills and greener landscapes that surround it. “Unexpected” is the take on this home’s indoor/outdoor living. The rooms flow seamlessly from gathering places, to cooking, dining and entertaining areas and out to decks and patios where homeowners and guests alike find it irresistible to just relax. It is easy to understand why coming home here is the best part of the day. Throughout this beautiful retreat, traditional impressions meld with new sensibilities and creative ingenuity. Wide, white, oak plank flooring, distressed brick, crisscross beams, ship-lap that climbs the walls, varied weights of white millwork and a meticulous mix of painted and wood-stained cabinets and doors exude warmth and encourage friends to stay longer than they ever planned they would. Sophisticated living at its casual best. Subtle but stylish, this family home is designed as a place where unforgettable memories will be made and family will stay connected - a gracious lifestyle of thanksgiving and joy that is truly “All About Home”. The Builder Esteemed as a problem-solver, Scott Maynes delivers artistic living solutions that are both beautiful and practical for his clients. For over three decades he was an industry innovator in the commercial and home building industry in California and Nevada. After years of pleading for him to join with his sister’s interior design business in Colorado, he finally made the leap. With that move, a premiere home building and design company, All About Home Design/Build, was formed. Their first project in 2014 had the honor of winning CSHBA Best Overall Home and the People’s Choice Award and they have followed it up each year since. With an uncompromising eye for detail, passion for quality and creativity, and striving for the most value for the dollar, Scott and his team have learned what it takes to turn a client’s vision into reality. If you are interested in building, please contact us at 719-559-1220 or scott@allabouthomedesign.com The Interior Design If there is something that never goes out of style, it’s listening to the client and understanding what they want. This gorgeous home speaks to its owner’s sense of class and curated style with muted hues that change subtly from room to room. Mixed metals, weathered materials, white painted trim, layers of tone and texture, and RH fabric colors hovering between driftwood and stone combine to form a quieter look, while industrial touches like black windows and metal stair railings give it an “edge”. Design is like mixology: put in different ingredients and shake up something amazing. Mix styles - casual with formal, traditional with modern - to create a look that feels fresh and brand new. Designed as a place for fun family living, this home is a must see both inside and out.

A stunning modern pool with sleek features and practical, but eye-catching landscape choices creates the ideal functional space for family fun and entertaining. Adding the concrete slab-stone grotto, flush spa, oversized sun shelf and depth profile perfect for water sports means there is something for everyone to enjoy when relaxing poolside. A cozy firepit compliments the space and is situated by the spa for those chilly nights when you want the best of both worlds...staying warm fireside, making smores and rejuvenating in the spa.

These homeowners were ready to update the home they had built when their girls were young. This was not a full gut remodel. The perimeter cabinetry mostly stayed but got new doors and height added at the top. The island and tall wood stained cabinet to the left of the sink are new and custom built and I hand-drew the design of the new range hood. The beautiful reeded detail came from our idea to add this special element to the new island and cabinetry. Bringing it over to the hood just tied everything together. We were so in love with this stunning Quartzite we chose for the countertops we wanted to feature it further in a custom apron-front sink. We were in love with the look of Zellige tile and it seemed like the perfect space to use it in.

The clients for this project approached SALA ‘to create a house that we will be excited to come home to’. Having lived in their house for over 20 years, they chose to stay connected to their neighborhood, and accomplish their goals by extensively remodeling their existing split-entry home.

Objective: The clients childhood memories of a home previously stayed in as a young girl played a vital role in the decision to totally transform a part of history into a modern retreat for this couple. Solution: Demo of every room began. One brick wall and center support wall stayed while everything else was demolished. We rearranged each room to create the perfect home for the soon to be retired couple. The clients love being outside which is the reasoning for all of large window and sliding doors which lead to the pool and manicured grounds. A new master suite was created, new guest room with ensuite bath, laundry room, small family room, oversized living room, dining room, kitchen, dish pantry, and powder bath were all totally reimagined to give this family everything they wanted. Furnishings brought from the previous home, revived heirlooms, and new pieces all combined to create this modern, yet warm inviting home. In the powder bath a classic pedestal sink, marble mosaic floors, and simple baseboards were the perfect pairing for this dramatic wallpaper. After construction, a vintage art piece was revived from storage to become the perfect juxtaposed piece to complete the powder bath. The kitchen is a chef’s dream with clean lined cabinets, white quartz countertops and plenty of seating for casual eating.

This new home was built on an old lot in Dallas, TX in the Preston Hollow neighborhood. The new home is a little over 5,600 sq.ft. and features an expansive great room and a professional chef’s kitchen. This 100% brick exterior home was built with full-foam encapsulation for maximum energy performance. There is an immaculate courtyard enclosed by a 9' brick wall keeping their spool (spa/pool) private. Electric infrared radiant patio heaters and patio fans and of course a fireplace keep the courtyard comfortable no matter what time of year. A custom king and a half bed was built with steps at the end of the bed, making it easy for their dog Roxy, to get up on the bed. There are electrical outlets in the back of the bathroom drawers and a TV mounted on the wall behind the tub for convenience. The bathroom also has a steam shower with a digital thermostatic valve. The kitchen has two of everything, as it should, being a commercial chef's kitchen! The stainless vent hood, flanked by floating wooden shelves, draws your eyes to the center of this immaculate kitchen full of Bluestar Commercial appliances. There is also a wall oven with a warming drawer, a brick pizza oven, and an indoor churrasco grill. There are two refrigerators, one on either end of the expansive kitchen wall, making everything convenient. There are two islands; one with casual dining bar stools, as well as a built-in dining table and another for prepping food. At the top of the stairs is a good size landing for storage and family photos. There are two bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, as well as a movie room. What makes this home so special is the Casita! It has its own entrance off the common breezeway to the main house and courtyard. There is a full kitchen, a living area, an ADA compliant full bath, and a comfortable king bedroom. It’s perfect for friends staying the weekend or in-laws staying for a month.
