This modern farmhouse features a cheery kids’ room in a classically preppy palette. Instead of ladders, the upper bunks have their own sets of entry stairs, as well as a railing to keep young ones safe. The lower beds sport shelving to store the children’s’ favorite dolls and stuffed animals. Each bunk is equipped with an individual reading light and there are storage drawers beneath. The huge bunkroom doubles as a place to do crafts, watch movies, play, or read books.

If you are a lover of cooking and baking, you most likely can attest to the fact that kitchen storage is an absolute game-changer. Not only does it make your space look more organized and aesthetically pleasing, but it also makes cooking and meal prep much easier and more efficient. From clever drawer inserts to space-saving pantry organizers, there are countless options for optimizing your kitchen storage.

Natural light floods this storage-filled, combination mudroom/laundry. The well-appointed, large laundry room is a dream. Filled with ample storage and features galore, laundry is never a chore.

Daylight has a quality that we respond to emotionally. Colors read true, finishes reveal their texture, and an uplifting quality pervades any room bathed in daylight. As we become more conscious of our footprint on this planet, we realize that making the most of daylight in our homes simply makes sense. Utilizing daylight reduces our need for electric light, and saves energy. Lutron shading systems provide precision control of daylight – all at the touch of a button. Martin Bros. Contracting, Inc. provided the unique casing, at the top of the shades, to cover the hardware. For more information on Lutron Shades visit Lutron

Clean and functional, yet homey and comforting, this farmhouse style kitchen offers the perfect spot to entertain and spend time with family. This personality-infused kitchen is filled with warm wood accents, painted custom cabinets and gorgeous honed marble tile. We love the two-sided fireplace that is shared with the neighboring living room and the beverage bar that allows guests to grab a drink away from the busy cooking area. 

This stunning glass-enclosed, climate-controlled wine cellar features stone accents on the walls, with metal wine racks that can hold a large number of bottles. Custom cabinetry was included for storing stemware, wine openers, and other accessories. A tasting table is positioned in the center of the room, giving the owner and their guests a convenient place to sample wine. The room is further enhanced by the owner’s personal artwork and the beautiful metal tile. Decorative and LED lighting is used to accentuate the wine racks and create a warm and inviting atmosphere in the room.

No need to have the television on display, it can be tucked away in the custom cabinet until the owner wishes to use it. The motorized TV lift works simply on signals that are sent to the sensor within the TV lift from the remote control. When the signal is received from the remote to lift the TV back into its position or lower it down or up to watch it, the mechanism the TV sits on will move according to the signal received.

A pool house is a versatile and functional addition to any backyard oasis. It can serve as a comfortable and convenient retreat for guests, a cozy and private spot for relaxation, or a fun and lively entertainment hub. A pool house can also provide extra storage space for pool accessories, such as towels, floats, toys, and cleaning supplies. Depending on your needs and preferences, a pool house can be customized with various features and amenities. Some pool houses are equipped with bathrooms and showers, so you can rinse off after a swim or change clothes without dripping water inside your main house. Some pool houses have kitchens or kitchenettes, where you can prepare snacks, drinks or meals for yourself or your guests. Some pool houses even have sleeping spaces or lofts, where you can nap, read, or watch TV. And if you want to create a truly immersive experience, you can install an A/V system in your pool house, so you can enjoy music, movies or games while lounging by the pool.

What better way to enjoy the majestic landscape then through the panoramic patio doors? Slide them open when it’s warm out and you bring nature in. Protection is provided by the custom cable rail system. This beautiful four-season sunroom is just one of the many amazing rooms in the gorgeous Timber Framed Home.
