The home was dated, compartmentalized,
and stale. The homeowners wanted to update the space to accommodate
their modern lifestyle and showcase their eclectic style. The solutions
included:
> Eliminating walls and soffits to open
the kitchen to other areas.
> Using reclaimed materials from the family’s farm for a rustic
aesthetic.
> Creating a natural flow between indoor and outdoor spaces.
> Connecting interior and exterior with larger windows, screen porch and
patio doors.
> Updating the exterior with a metal roof, fieldstone, LP Smartside
siding and trim, a pergola, cedar columns and a screen porch.
>Incorporating new trim, doors and paint on the second floor to keep
details consistent with the look of the first floor and exterior.
