CBI Design Professionals, Inc.The original Kitchen in this home was extremely cluttered and disorganized. In the process of renovating the entire home this space was a major priority to address. We chose to create a central barrel vault that structured the entire space. The French range is centered on the barrel vault. By adding a table to the center of the room it insures this is a family centered environment. The table becomes a working space, an eating space, a homework table, etc. This is a throwback to the original farm house kitchen table that was the center of mid-western life for generations. The room opens up to a Living Room and Music Room area that make the space incorporated with all of the family’s daily activity. The space also has mirror-imaged doors that open to the exterior patio and pool deck area. This effectively allows for the circulation of the family from the pool deck to the interior as if it was another room in the house. The contrast of the original disorganization and clutter to the cleanly detailed, highly organized space is a huge transformation for this home.
Jodie O DesignsMy “woman’s cave” was inspired by a desire to design a space especially for women: one exuding feminity and luxury. Unlike the proverbial “man cave,” a woman’s cave nurtures its occupant, allowing her to reenergize, recharge and relax. Sparingly sprinkled raspberry tones subtly energize the room’s cream palette to supply an invigorating aura. Plush textural fabrics throughout the space create a feast for the eyes. Significantly, the room’s furnishings reflect the feminine physique, with all upholstered pieces shaped curvaceously and feeling soft to the touch. A woman will rest in the sumptuous ivory wool Chippendale-style sofa, which pays homage to the rich English history of the mansion. Alternatively, two dear friends can enjoy the warmth of a crackling fire relaxing in the tufted wing chair and petite lounge chair. There, they can place their tea cups atop the round ottoman upholstered in a cut velvet damask fabric. Completing the feminine ambience, show-stopping silk-embroidered floral panels with spectacular hues of raspberry and citrus frame the stained glass windows of the woman’s cave.

In keeping with the scale of this 19th-century home, the solution called for a two-story garage with the second floor family room. Between the garage and the main house, we designed a two-story connector that serves as a direct entry to the basement and main level via a new, open stair. A new breakfast room and screened porch will complement the renovated kitchen off the rear of the house. The renovation of the basement will provide organized storage, a wine cellar, and exercise area.
Battle Associates, ArchitectsLarge Stone fireplace and wood finish anchor the living volume. This project is a new home on Lake Champlain, Vermont. Modern stick style was the vocabulary for this new home perched on the bluff over Lake Champlain. All the spaces were anchored by views to the water and circulation around the great room volume. Chestnut wood interiors and walnut floors provided warm and complimentary interior finishes. This ultra-efficient home is heated and cooled by geothermal technology with solar-powered hot water panels.

Color Craftsmen: Fireplace MakeoversThis wood ceiling needed something to tone down the grain in the planks. We were able to create a wash that did exactly that.
The floors (reclaimed red oak from a pre-Civil War barn) needed to have their different colors highlighted, not homogenized. Instead of staining the floor, we used a tung oil and beeswax finish that was hand buffed.
Our clients wanted to have reclaimed wood beams in their ceiling, but could not use true old beams as they would not be sturdy enough to support the roof. We took their fresh- cut fir beams and used synthetic plasters, paints, and glazes to give them an authentic aged look.
