We were striving for a goal of main floor open concept living and entertaining. You can see through these details that pulling in parts of their heritage created a home that was truly their own, and added so much inspiration to this project.

Imagine a dark, small kitchen transformed into a bright, enjoyable living space! Together, the kitchen designers at Chester County Kitchen & Bath and the client collaborated and strived to achieve a modern, bright space playfully interjecting light and warm tones throughout the kitchen. Concept: Transform a dark, dated kitchen with dramatic changes... The client doesn't miss their small enclosed space. They are now welcomed by an inviting space, featuring an island with seating and extra storage/work area that opens now into the family room. By making great design changes such as rearranging the placement of the refrigerator, and choosing light colored counters and cabinets the kitchen is open and bright. Additionally, the earth tone tile backsplash contrasts the buttercream cabinets- giving the space texture and depth!

Designed by Hunter and Miranda Mantell-Hecathorn and built by the skilled MHB team, this stunning family home is a must see on the tour! Indicative of their high quality, this home has many features you won’t see in other homes on the tour. A few include: oversized Kolbe Triple-Pane windows; 12” thick, double-stud walls; a 6.5kW solar PV system; and is heated and cooled by only two small, highly efficient central units. The open floor plan was designed with entertaining and large family gatherings in mind. Whether seated in the living room with 12’ ceilings and massive windows with views of the Ponderosas or seated at the island in the kitchen you won’t be far from the action. The large covered back porch and beautiful back yard allows the kids to play while the adults relax by the fire pit.

Pets can make our daily routines life more interesting. It is enough to find the videos with pets to make sure that they are so cute and funny. They know how to cheer up and to share their positive energy. Often, children want to have a pet. However, before you go to the pet store, you need to decide for yourself the following questions. 1. Are you ready to take a full responsibility for the animal? This is not a toy to give, give back or throw. The animal is not a person, but it has a soul. It can be hurt. It also knows how to love. 2. Are you ready to become a true friend for an animal? It needs to be fed. You should give him leisure and walking and solve the issues of the toilet. You cannot bring it to the house as part of the new interior. He need your attention and serious care. 3. You will need to ensure the safety of those around him. For example, you need to control whether the dog does not hurt anyone, especially children. If the choice fell on the cat, try to make it not disturb the neighbors. Do not let snakes, spiders to walk alone on the street, sometimes they are and strive to get out of home. Love animals, but without fanaticism. They should not interfere a life of other people. 4. When you are ready to solve all these issues concerning the animal, it means that you really care about it. Can you fall in love with the animal as a member of your family? If you do not like it, then you will only irritate the duty to care for him. Both you and your animal will suffer. 5. Are you ready to take care of the health of the animal? After all, the animals can bring fleas or ringworm to your house. It is necessary to control that there are no such things, because in this case the animal becomes dangerous for people. 6. You need to give love and then it returns the positive energy to your. It is worth emphasizing, if you have a small child, the animal will teach your child the two main qualities: the ability to make friends and responsibility.

Add warmth, texture, color and character by creating your own coordinating wall art. Determine your color scheme and find the perfect fabric. For this I used an outdoor waverly fabric. The room has a traditional fireplace with warm tones, but the rest of the home is filled with neutral and cool tones, so I needed to bridge the gap to create a cohesive feeling to the entire home. I couldn't find just the right piece, so I created my own. With only one empty wall in the living/great room I needed the piece the inform the whole room, create a focal point and set the color scheme. After selecting the right fabric, I stretched it like a canvas with a varied pattern to create charm and character and then used reclaimed wood stained with miniwax's 2 fairly new stain colors - wood grey and weathered oak. After cutting out the frame staining and assembling I gave it a quick polyurethane spray. I added some beautiful almost tropical plant accents and decided to go very simple on pillows adding only 2 small botanicals to create a large seating area to create the sense of invitation. Greek key ottomans in emerald green, a patterned linen chair and quatrefoil chair created a consistence color scheme and just enough interest. To finish the look a rustic industrial coffee table and coordinating nesting tables to anchor the room, vintage books, succulents, jute detailed candles, red lanterns, a bicycle trunk for a touch of whimsy and a canvas framed with the same reclaimed wood to tie in the two art pieces. The result is the look I always strive for - the collected home. A touch of traditional, vintage treasures, botanical accents and one of a kind signature pieces. The only category that fits it all is eclectic, but I like to think that eclectic is another way of saying that the room has a designer touch and a sense of having an auteur at work. I welcome your comments. /Abi/ Charles Hoffman: photo credit / Wolverton Homes: Builder / Kerri O'Hara: TreVa Group Real Estate
