Steve arrived home safely from Maine late last night. The home he is working on is coming along beautifully.
Two gambrel roofs can be seen on the front of the home.
Cedar shakes and siding and the local granite were used on the facade.
The covered entry (great for those rainy or snowy days) is flanked by stone pillars.
This image gives you a sense of how the Main house sits on the property in relationship to the water.
Here is an image of the back of the house with the barn to the left.
Mike Hewes and Hewes & Company are doing a great job on the building.
The back sunroom has a spectacular view. This is where I would spend most of my time....
Oops, sorry I was daydreaming in the sunroom!
The living room in the main house is getting pretty. Steve and our client Courtney Hollander have decided to add some beams to the ceiling (once you see the barn you'll understand why).
I'm loving the arched window in the master bedroom. There isn't a bad view in the house!
The barn is much more finished than the main house.
When Steve arrived this is what the barn looked like.
Our client, Courtney chose some fantastic contemporary lighting. The interior design of this project was a collaboration between Steve and Courtney. Most of the pieces in our furniture collection were designed with this project and design aesthetic in mind.
The light fixtures were just being installed. These lights are from Circa Antiques
The two Nick Sofas that Courtney selected look at home now in front of the fireplace on either side of the antique steel and wood coffee table she found. A smaller traditional rug sits on top of a larger bound sisal rug.
Two leather cubes from Jamie Young provide extra seating.
Two Leila chairs are at the heads of the industrial metal dining table with benches on
the sides.
Brazilian soapstone countertops were used in the kitchen with Douglas Fir cabinets .
The lights are from Circa Lighting.
Open shelves were used instead of upper cabinets.
The pair of striped Nate chairs named after Courtney's son, are happy in their new home on the landing.
The Circa Antique lights make the two story space glow.
Most of the bathrooms are not ready for their close-ups, but this one was ready to smile and say "Cheese".
Brazilian soapstone was also used in this bathroom in the barn.
The plumbing fixtures are the Dornbracht Tara.
I love how it looks in the bath.
This image gives you an idea of what all of the landscape will look like when it is finished. It's going to be very naturalistic with granite outcroppings similar to the ones you see in the natural Maine landscape. The landscape architect is Bruce Riddell.
So, what do you think so far?
I always love getting your comments (and so does Steve!).
