I bought my house 6 years ago with the intention to experiment and try ideas that I wouldn’t want to risk on a client’s home.
My TV with lights reacting to the music playing.
The pull down map to cover the TV when not in use.
So far I’ve tried a bunch of ideas, including vaulting the living room ceiling, adding a loft above the kitchen and family room, covered the ceiling with reclaimed pallet wood, added a secret door to a storage room, and embedded a 65” TV into a wood-clad wall with 5.1 surround sound speakers also flush in the wall.
My main living area with loft above the kitchen and family rooms, and reclaimed pallet wood covering the vaulted cathedral ceilings.
I replaced the ceiling fan blades with the reclaimed pallet wood for a matching aesthetic.
I have learned so much from all of these projects, but none more than my latest edition, the first addition.
I took the rear deck and absorbed it into the house. The roof was already covering the area, so I added a foundation, framed in the new exterior walls, moved the back door, and finished the inside with a new half bath. I’m extremely proud of the flooring where I extended the tile from the rest of the house into the bathroom, but also made walnut flooring from stock and installed in flush with the large hexagon tiles.
The bathroom has some fun and unique design elements including preserving the corrugated metal siding from the porch on the vanity wall, and installing vertical slats with walnut trim on the window wall.
I love this house.
