INTERIORS the openness of the space, flow and connectivity of the rooms. On the other side of the support beams, from the main living area, is the home’s kitchen. It’s modern in every respect, including a Sub Zero refrigerator, dual Bosch dishwashers and a Wolf stove. The kitchen is warm and inviting. The hues of red, apricot and brown are subtly combined in the swirl of the marble countertops and are complemented by hammered copper sinks and auburn cabinetry donned with satin nickel hardware. The owners enjoy cooking and entertaining family and friends. The efficient layout and sufficiently large size of the kitchen offers plenty of room for guests, most of whom inevitably wind up in the kitchen! The home’s dining areas are convenient to the kitchen. In fact, what separates the main dining and kitchen area is a family friendly countertop of textured grey slate complete with pull-up red leather bar stools. The bar/counter is the default eating area for kids and adults alike. The main dining area is defined by the stone fireplace and hearth on one wall and another made of wood framed windows and doors to the outside. The view through the windows is breathtaking. This area is casually designed with comfort in mind but can be formal if need be. The large wooden trestle table easily accommodates the 12 dining chairs that are upholstered in espresso linen. The double ceiling height and the wall of windows in the dining room are a natural source of light, adding to the home’s openness. In the summer, the doors open to a terrace occupied by comfortable lounge seating. This creates more living space and it helps tie together the inside and outside. The focal point of this room is the textured acrylic oil painting by J.D. Miller that hangs above the fireplace. It is a lovely painting depicting fiery aspen trees. JANUARY / FEBRUARY 2014 17
