This 3200 square foot home features a maintenance free exterior of LP Smartside, corrugated aluminum roofing, and native prairie landscaping. The design of the structure is intended to mimic the architectural lines of classic farm buildings. The outdoor living areas are as important to this home as the interior spaces; covered and exposed porches, field stone patios and an enclosed screen porch all offer expansive views of the surrounding meadow and tree line. The home’s interior combines rustic timbers and soaring spaces which would have traditionally been reserved for the barn and outbuildings, with classic finishes customarily found in the family homestead. Walls of windows and cathedral ceilings invite the outdoors in. Locally sourced reclaimed posts and beams, wide plank white oak flooring and a Door County fieldstone fireplace juxtapose with classic white cabinetry and millwork, tongue and groove wainscoting and a color palate of softened paint hues, tiles and fabrics to create a completely unique Door County homestead.

The owners of this Johnson County home wanted to update to the living room with new colors and styles, after living 17 years in the home. The original furniture worked well within the design plans that were part of a larger first-floor renovation. Arlene Ladegaard of Design Connection, Inc. was ready for the challenge. Design Connection, Inc. team crafted a new floor plan and produced a harmony of design through more organic and subtle hues, textiles and texture of wood pieces. Central to the décor is the fireplace surround, changed to Carrera marble with gray and white veining. To offset the marble, the design team painted the room a soft transparent gray and the fireplace trims a darker gray. The clients never thought they would want a gray home, but with warming up the trim color, they love the new look of their living room and first floor. Design Connection, Inc. provided: furniture, accessories, area rugs, paint and marble and installation, hard wood floor refinishing and project management to ensure the project would run smoothly and be completed to the high standards of Design Connection, Inc.

Charles Hilton Architects, Robert Benson Photography From grand estates, to exquisite country homes, to whole house renovations, the quality and attention to detail of a "Significant Homes" custom home is immediately apparent. Full time on-site supervision, a dedicated office staff and hand picked professional craftsmen are the team that take you from groundbreaking to occupancy. Every "Significant Homes" project represents 45 years of luxury homebuilding experience, and a commitment to quality widely recognized by architects, the press and, most of all....thoroughly satisfied homeowners. Our projects have been published in Architectural Digest 6 times along with many other publications and books. Though the lion share of our work has been in Fairfield and Westchester counties, we have built homes in Palm Beach, Aspen, Maine, Nantucket and Long Island.

Casual entertaining for family & friends belongs here. The Heat & Glo direct vent fireplace is flanked by Bucks County Chardonnay Southern Ledgestone with custom built ins & mantle painted in Benjamin Moore Super White.
