The
plans for the home were drawn up by the builders. They knew
the plan would work with the right combination and this
appears to be it.
The
home comes with a country rustic look that is very popular and
includes brick, stone and timber. It is a rambler with a
loft
area over the garage.
The
entry of the home rises up 13 feet. Immediately upon entering,
there is a sitting room off to the left.
To
make the walls have the old country-cottage look, they were
painted and then coated with a glaze.
The
light fixtures were selected to also look old and are very
antique and dark. The floor is a distressed douglas fir made
to look a hundred years old. There is a large stairway that
leads to the basement. In the family room there is a concrete
fireplace that has been painted, again, to look old.
All
of the trim around the windows is antique and distressed
alder. The ceilings in the family room are 25 feet high for a
very open feeling. The kitchen is, indeed, a work of
art.
The
cabinets and island are distressed and some are painted green
to get an old look. To get an old-looking hood, the builder
came up with the idea to make it of concrete, then wrap it in
aluminum foil and paint it.
Already,
it has fooled a lot of people. The countertops were also made
of poured concrete. The loft features a play room that
resembles Noah’s ark, complete with dove, wood on the walls
and a sky painting.
The
master suite also comes with a fireplace with a mantle made
from alder. There is also a walk-in closet with a granite
island running down the center.
