Photography by Jim Tetro This house, built in the 1960s, sits southfacing on a terrific wooded lot in Bethesda, Maryland. The owners desire a whole-house renovation which would improve the general building fabric and systems, and extend the sense of living out of doors in all seasons. The original sixties-modern character is preserved and the renovation extends the design forward into a contemporary, modern approach. Connections to and through the site are enhanced through the creation of new larger window and door openings. Screened porches and decks perch above the sloped and wooded site. The new kitchen and bathrooms allow for opportunities to feel out-of -doors while preparing, cooking, dining, and bathing. Smart passive strategies guide the environmental choices for this project, including envelope improvements, updated mechanical systems, and on-site stormwater management.

Panel Track Shades are sliding panel shades that sit on a track and are designed to be used on large windows, including sliding glass doors. These shades are in the closed position. (Unfortunately, the photo didn't come out well - the shades are actually one color, the sunlight played havoc with the exposure.) The available material is either in the woven wood or roller shade lines, so the choices are virtually endless! The shades can be made to match any blinds in the room, which is the case here but again the exposure in the photo doesn't do it justice. They also come with a custom, matching valance.

Inspiration for a timeless living room remodel in San Diego

Showcased here are beautiful real-wood overhead garage doors with recessed paneling, cross-buck overlays and windows, which accent the rest of the home's rustic exterior. Inside, these doors are equipped with a vertical-lift operating system that allows the doors to be 'lifted' to the top of the ceiling, providing maximum space below. The doors were designed, custom-built and expertly installed by Cedar Park Overhead Doors, which has been serving the Austin area for more than 30 years. Photo credit: Jenn Leaver
