Or the wood top on the island, get them to do matte boat varnish and it will be very well protected but not shines
More modern take on the wood island
Could do wood on island rather than on the way with tv
Hood
Similar layout and roof line to you, could help you see what it would be like with stove on the side and sink in the island?
Wood and modern but light and bright, don’t like hanging shelves tho
Lots of trees and flower pots with give you that garden feel
Vibe kinda captures the warm wood and modern lines mixed with softer curves
There could still be windows on that wall if you wanted, built ins with window
Not the stone but the vibe with the shelves etc
Stone
Chimney shape and line not fireplace
I like this stone a little better than flagstone for you
If you go with flagstone like the illustration, I like the lighter pallet
Stone
This house is in Palo Alto! I remember looking at it. Actually love the fireplace to break up the space
Mix of wood and white
Lanterns give the New Orleans vibe
Modern take on hood that I think would still fit your style
Vines, soft French grey
Same house at night
Railing style
Another example of posts “pillars” you could do vines on these too
Ignore most of this photo, I just noticed there were no columns or support beams in the illustration of exterior? Was this intentional, just thinking about shape and size of wood here for front
Door and lantern?
Chimney line and shape with really help achieve that aesthetic of Carmel etc
Reminds me of the house in menlo
Not perfect but has little examples of modern with rustic stone and windows
I like the feel of this one, combo of clean modern with arches etc
Bench on one side?
