After Photo - PHD Crown molding and trim - PHD We opted for a partial open concept, as it was important to have as much storage in the kitchen as possible. Bridging the two areas with the LED t.v. and electric fireplace enables easy viewing in either room (t.v. is on a swivel mount) or both at the same time. It's also a natural divide for the wall colours.

This small garage entry functions as the mudroom as well as the laundry room. The space once featured the swing of the garage entry door, as well as the swing of the door that connects it to the foyer hall. We replaced the hallway entry door with a barn door, allowing us to have easier access to cabinets. We also incorporated a stackable washer & dryer to open up counter space and more cabinet storage. We created a mudroom on the opposite side of the laundry area with a small bench, coat hooks and a mix of adjustable shelving and closed storage. Photos by Spacecrafting Photography

With enormous rectangular beams and round log posts, the Spanish Peaks House is a spectacular study in contrasts. Even the exterior—with horizontal log slab siding and vertical wood paneling—mixes textures and styles beautifully. An outdoor rock fireplace, built-in stone grill and ample seating enable the owners to make the most of the mountain-top setting. Inside, the owners relied on Blue Ribbon Builders to capture the natural feel of the home’s surroundings. A massive boulder makes up the hearth in the great room, and provides ideal fireside seating. A custom-made stone replica of Lone Peak is the backsplash in a distinctive powder room; and a giant slab of granite adds the finishing touch to the home’s enviable wood, tile and granite kitchen. In the daylight basement, brushed concrete flooring adds both texture and durability. Roger Wade

The owners of this 1950’s residence in Arlington, Virginia wanted to update the 1980’s family room addition at the rear of their house. The focal point of the two-story, mostly-glass room is the multi-functioning fireplace, a/v, and storage wall. We updated the space by painting the existing wood trim, brightening the walls, adding concealed storage, a new bar area, a new gas fireplace, a new a/v system with concealed storage, new tile to incorporate the television and speaker system.
