I was called into this home to re-decorate for the new owners. Although they loved the finishes that already existed in the home - floor stain, wall and ceiling colors, window treatments, there were a few things that didn't work for their family that needed to be changed. In addition, they needed all new furniture to fill this house that would reflect the coastal location, but remain traditional in style. I accomplished this with the exception of one surprise space! photo by Holger Obenaus

When a North Carolina family was looking to build a vacation home by the shore, they wanted it to last for generations to come. They knew building in coastal areas posed certain challenges: hurricane force winds, high humidity, corrosive salt air, driving rain, and more. This waterfront property needed to be able to withstand the harshest coastal conditions, while meeting the needs of the energy-conscious owners. High-performance glass was a necessity, but the home also had to have a distinct look in which simulated divided lites were used to achieve a very specific architectural style. The perfect combination of beauty and strength, IMPACT products from Integrity allowed the builders to meet all the job requirements. They also created a finished product worthy of award-winning accolades. Integrity IMPACT windows and patio doors offer Impact Zone 3 rated performance for coastal applications. Multi-point locking systems offered additional stability and security. Energy-efficient, high-performance glass helped make this home 44% more efficient to operate. “Integrity is a durable and beautiful component of a new home. Their products are strong and yet visually pleasing. The options allow for the ability to customize the look to fit different architectural styles while being consistent in performance,” said Luke Perisich of Blue Sky Building Company. Integrity windows are built tougher, last longer, and protect better.

The goal for this project was to create a space that felt “beachy” for the Lewis’ who moved from Utah to San Diego last year. These recent retirees needed a casual living room for everyday use and to handle the wear and tear of grandchildren. They also wanted a sophisticated environment to reflect this point in their lives and to have a welcoming atmosphere for guests. Photos courtesy of Ramon C Purcell

Rough-hewn beams, 100-year old barn floors and reclaimed wood walls are features of this seating area as well as the dining and living areas that surround the kitchen that sits at the center of the ground floor.

When the owner of this petite c. 1910 cottage in Riverside, RI first considered purchasing it, he fell for its charming front façade and the stunning rear water views. But it needed work. The weather-worn, water-facing back of the house was in dire need of attention. The first-floor kitchen/living/dining areas were cramped. There was no first-floor bathroom, and the second-floor bathroom was a fright. Most surprisingly, there was no rear-facing deck off the kitchen or living areas to allow for outdoor living along the Providence River. In collaboration with the homeowner, KHS proposed a number of renovations and additions. The first priority was a new cantilevered rear deck off an expanded kitchen/dining area and reconstructed sunroom, which was brought up to the main floor level. The cantilever of the deck prevents the need for awkwardly tall supporting posts that could potentially be undermined by a future storm event or rising sea level. To gain more first-floor living space, KHS also proposed capturing the corner of the wrapping front porch as interior kitchen space in order to create a more generous open kitchen/dining/living area, while having minimal impact on how the cottage appears from the curb. Underutilized space in the existing mudroom was also reconfigured to contain a modest full bath and laundry closet. Upstairs, a new full bath was created in an addition between existing bedrooms. It can be accessed from both the master bedroom and the stair hall. Additional closets were added, too. New windows and doors, new heart pine flooring stained to resemble the patina of old pine flooring that remained upstairs, new tile and countertops, new cabinetry, new plumbing and lighting fixtures, as well as a new color palette complete the updated look. Upgraded insulation in areas exposed during the construction and augmented HVAC systems also greatly improved indoor comfort. Today, the cottage continues to charm while also accommodating modern amenities and features.

A bright and airy feel was achieved in this beautiful living room by white washing the existing ceiling decking and painting the exposed beams white. The fireplace received a facelift by cladding the outdated stone with reclaimed Driftwood planking and a solid reclaimed Douglas fir mantel by Vintage Timberworks.

As you enter the basement's TV space, it's impossible to miss the wow factor—an entire accent wall constructed from whiskey barrel staves. This bold design choice sets the tone for the entire room. In front of this striking backdrop, four light tweed tufted accent chairs invite you to sit and stay awhile. A collection of eclectic duck artwork and a vintage Jim Beam wall clock add a splash of personality, perfectly complementing the burl root coffee table with a glass top. Underfoot, a hair-on-hide rug is layered over a textured woven rug, adding depth and warmth. Tucked into a corner, a live-edge pub table paired with distressed brown leather stools offers a cozy spot for more intimate gatherings. And for that final touch, a pop of green comes from a leafy plant situated just behind the pub table. It's not just a basement; it's a sanctuary of comfort and style.
