This grand covered pergola is open on three sides. We built the back wall with intentional gaps between the boards and tucked a changing room into the back corner with a sleight-of-hand design trick.

Focusing on artistic quality not quantity, Chet Redmon, owner of CR Custom Ironworks, forges designs for his customers that you won’t find anywhere else. “People want to see more substantial size in scrollwork,” notes Redmon, “and the popularity of the floating winding staircase is also on the rise.” This staircase shows how curves have taken over in staircase design and can be complemented by custom made chandeliers, like this 30’ long chandelier consisting of 47 hand blown globes, designed and built by Redmon.

When you are a bachelor and you live in a big ole' house, why not turn the formal living room into a billiards room/cigar lounge? What was once a "blah" white-painted brick fireplace now has a little "edge" courtesy of a coat of black paint. A big screen t.v. for hockey games, leather chairs, a wide variety of scotch, Cuban cigars and a vintage pool table provide the perfect setting for a party. The room is an odd "L" shape, so there wasn't much of an option aside from putting in a pool table. At least, that's what we convinced ourselves of. And "no", that's not a real ivory tusk on the mantel. It's fake and made of many pieces of bone.

Contemporary Endurance. You don’t have to sacrifice beauty for durability, as this handsome floor demonstrates. Wide plank American oak was wire brushed, inlaid in stone, then finished with a European colored oil sometimes referred to as “hard wax.” The protection is embedded in the pores of the wood, which means there is no surface finish to maintain. Even better, the vegetable-based system is very green, emitting no VOCs. Photo courtesy of Bordelon Design Associates
