A natural oak floor leads to a compact kitchen that packs an abundance of appliances and clever storage into every inch of space. Open to both kitchen and living areas, the dining space features lace curtained windows and homestyle cupboards with beadboard doors. In the sitting area, a cultured stone fireplace towers to the high ceiling. We bought tons of log home magazines to get ideas. Deep greens on the upholstered seating pieces and rugs are natural complements in the setting.
Handmade furniture adds a distinctive touch, making the home seem as if it has been there forever.
Kelly's father used a footboard from her great-grandmother's bed to construct a comfortable bench in foyer. He also constructed the vanity in the main bathroom and twin beds and nightstands for the girl's bedroom down the hall. Bart's office, sporting an extensive camera collection is just across the hall. Upstairs, a compact loft provides a quiet reading spot and practice space for budding musicians. A display of old quilts softens the walls and a new fir tree patterned quilt tops the bed.
