As written in Northern Home & Cottage by Elizabeth Edwards In general, Bryan and Connie Rellinger loved the charm of the old cottage they purchased on a Crooked Lake peninsula, north of Petoskey. Specifically, however, the presence of a live-well in the kitchen (a huge cement basin with running water for keeping fish alive was right in the kitchen entryway, seriously), rickety staircase and green shag carpet, not so much. An extreme renovation was the only solution. The downside? The rebuild would have to fit into the smallish nonconforming footprint. The upside? That footprint was built when folks could place a building close enough to the water to feel like they could dive in from the house. Ahhh... Stephanie Baldwin of Edgewater Design helped the Rellingers come up with a timeless cottage design that breathes efficiency into every nook and cranny. It also expresses the synergy of Bryan, Connie and Stephanie, who emailed each other links to products they liked throughout the building process. That teamwork resulted in an interior that sports a young take on classic cottage. Highlights include a brass sink and light fixtures, coffered ceilings with wide beadboard planks, leathered granite kitchen counters and a way-cool floor made of American chestnut planks from an old barn. Thanks to an abundant use of windows that deliver a grand view of Crooked Lake, the home feels airy and much larger than it is. Bryan and Connie also love how well the layout functions for their family - especially when they are entertaining. The kids' bedrooms are off a large landing at the top of the stairs - roomy enough to double as an entertainment room. When the adults are enjoying cocktail hour or a dinner party downstairs, they can pull a sliding door across the kitchen/great room area to seal it off from the kids' ruckus upstairs (or vice versa!). From its gray-shingled dormers to its sweet white window boxes, this charmer on Crooked Lake is packed with ideas! - Jacqueline Southby Photography

One of the most commanding features of this rebuilt WWII era house is a glass curtain wall opening to sweeping views. Exposed structural steel allowed the exterior walls of the residence to be a remarkable 55% glass while exceeding the Washington State Energy Code. A glass skylight and window walls bisect the house to create a stair core that brings natural daylight into the interiors and serves as the spine, and light-filled soul of the house.

The cellar door closed, from the previous photo, showing how subtle the opening and closing can be. A dinner party in this kitchen wont have a restriction of win, being so convenient to the spiral cellar.

The shelves along either side of the bathtub provide a place for bath salts, soaps and a wine glass or two. Holland Photography 2012

This beautiful, older home in Roswell, GA has gone through a renovation. The family room with originally installed judges paneling on all walls have been painted in white and the built-ins were faux painted in darker tone wood by Beauti-Faux Finishes. We have added finishing touches by installing the custom drapes in the bay window. Beautiful embroidered fabric in canvas was paired up with brown wrought iron hardware. This completed the room by softening the wall of windows giving more balance to the entire room and creating a wow effect as soon as you enter the room. DRAPES & DECOR
