Project of the Month: July 2017
It's Christmas in July!
This homeowner was interested in adding an outdoor space that would be continuous with their
indoor living area. The large windows that separate the 2 spaces allows for their home to have a very open feel. They went with a contemporary craftsman style with clean straight lines in the columns and beams on the ceiling. The stone veneer fireplace, framed with full masonry block,
with reclaimed Hemlock mantle as the centerpiece attraction and the stained pine tongue and
groove vaulted ceiling gives the space a dramatic look. The columns have a stacked stone base
that complements the stone on the fireplace and kitchen fascia. The light travertine flooring is a
perfect balance for the dark stone on the column bases
and knee walls beside the fireplace as
well as the darker stained cedar beams and stones in the fireplace. The outdoor kitchen with
stainless steel tile backsplash is equipped with a gas grill
and a Big Green Egg as well as a fridge
and storage space. This space is 525 square feet and is the perfect spot for any gathering. The
patio is surrounded by stained concrete stepping stones with black star gravel. The original
second story windows were replaced with smaller windows in order to allow for a proper roof pitch.
