“We selected white oak for the beautiful grain and fresh appearance,” Lugbill says. The custom mirror frame is the same white oak. She chose quartz for its consistency in pattern and its durability. “We love the dark contrast of the oil-rubbed bronze against the light finishes, but they still have a softness to them,”
While researching local vernacular styles, he found that even though he hadn’t spied one recently, dogtrot houses had a history in the Appalachian region. A dogtrot house is composed of two separate cabins built side by side, connected by a breezeway. The name comes from the idea that when a dog was “too hot to trot,” it could find a cool, shady spot in the breezeway. Today, modernists are drawn to the straightforward and honest structure of these homes as well as the passive cooling provided by the breezeway.

https://www.houzz.com/magazine/patio-of-the-week-petite-pool-enhances-a-toronto-backyard-stsetivw-vs~139760387?newsletterId=14573 New fencing made from pressure-treated stained pine encloses the backyard in a rich, dark material. (The team also stained an existing storage shed.) “Everything looks better against a darker fence,” Kleinknecht says. The dark color “does make [the fence] recede into the back a little to make [the yard] look a little bigger.” The horizontal placement of the planks also helps make the yard look bigger. For this kind of installation, Kleinknecht advises using deck boards, as opposed to fence boards, and placing the posts closer together to keep the wood from bowing.

Both ceramic and porcelain excel in high-traffic areas in comparison with other flooring types (such as hardwood, laminate and carpet). But porcelain is a denser tile, and as a result it offers better long-term resistance to scuffs and scratches. Through-body porcelain, where the color on top of the tile goes all the way throughout the tile’s body, is especially scratch resistant. Living rooms and hallways are two of the perfect places to install porcelain. Households with children and pets will appreciate porcelain’s durability.

I like the windows and cabinet color. New casement windows update and brighten the room, also creating a better view to the garden. To further lighten the space, the designers removed the upper cabinets around the sink. A marble-topped walnut island gives the homeowners plenty of room to entertain. Along with an expanded pantry, it also helps make up for the storage lost by removing the upper cabinets. “You can compensate for removing the upper cabinets if you have the base cabinets do more, to hold stuff the wall cabinets would usually hold,” Donner says.
Serving as the home workspace for one of the owners, the island features bar stool seating, drawers for papers and even a shelf under the counter (with outlets at the back) for the homeowner to store a laptop and other work tools.
