The sliding glass door allows the owners to easily access the uncovered portion of the deck for grilling. They even have a standing patio heater for colder days.

A motorized Hunter Douglas Designer Screen Shade adds privacy to this glass front door in Kirkland, WA. ? The 0.5% openness fabric helps limit the view inside, while the internal battery stays out of sight. Lower the shade when privacy is needed, then raise it when you want the glass uncovered on a schedule.

This original fireplace remains a focal point of the living room, featuring its striking black tile surround and period-correct detailing. During renovation we carefully restored the surrounding architectural elements while preserving the home's historic character. Equally special was the discovery of the original oak hardwood flooring hidden beneath layers of old carpeting. Once uncovered and refinished, the floor revealed an elegant mahogany inlay border framing the hearth—a craftsmanship detail rarely found today.

After: 84.8°F on the same stairwell window with our real-wood plantation shutters closed — a 17.6-degree drop from the 102.4°F uncovered reading. This is the largest gap in our own testing, on the tallest, most direct-sun opening in the house.

This was a detailed exterior and interior restoration of an 1894 Victorian originally designed by influential architect and developer Joseph Leonard. Saikley Architects and Buestad Construction worked closely with the clients to uncover evidence of original exterior and interior details that had been removed and recreate them. Minor changes were made to the second story layout to add a bathroom for a master suite while staying true to the original feeling of the house. Restoration with Buestad Construction, Inc.

After grinding they uncovered the natural beauty of this gorgeous river rock that was there all along! After exposing the rock they made sure to seal/ finish properly to protect it. There is so much beauty in the unique, industrialal,, natural look of the finished product! photography: points imaging

Inspiration for a large farmhouse tile screened-in back porch remodel in Nashville

The south courtyard was re-landcape with specimen cacti selected and curated by the owner, and a new hardscape path was laid using flagstone, which was a customary hardscape material used by Robert Evans. The arched window was originally an exterior feature under an existing stairway; the arch was replaced (having been removed during the 1960s), and a arched window added to "re-enclose" the space. Several window openings which had been covered over with stucco were uncovered, and windows fitted in the restored opening. The small loggia was added, and provides a pleasant outdoor breakfast spot directly adjacent to the kitchen.
