The center island, made from new cabinets, contrasts with the green reclaimed cabinets inhabiting the kitchen's perimeter. The Stone Studio supplied the craftsmanship for the stone countertops. The edge profile for the island is a double laminated chisel. The remainder of the countertops are fabricated with a cove edge profile. Leathered Karma granite from Mont in Cincinnati is used throughout.

Beautiful Tuscan style kitchen with river washed cyclone granite. The amazing vision is from Doug Bell of Bell Construction who completed all the renovations, design, carpentry & tile work. Doug found the slabs available in the indoor granite & marble slab gallery at Custom Marble & Granite of Butler, PA. Custom Marble & Granite created all the amazing counter tops with the rare and very hard to find river washed cyclone granite.

Ross Chandler Photography Working closely with the builder, Bob Schumacher, and the home owners, Patty Jones Design selected and designed interior finishes for this custom lodge-style home in the resort community of Caldera Springs. This 5000+ sq ft home features premium finishes throughout including all solid slab counter tops, custom light fixtures, timber accents, natural stone treatments, and much more.

With enormous rectangular beams and round log posts, the Spanish Peaks House is a spectacular study in contrasts. Even the exterior—with horizontal log slab siding and vertical wood paneling—mixes textures and styles beautifully. An outdoor rock fireplace, built-in stone grill and ample seating enable the owners to make the most of the mountain-top setting. Inside, the owners relied on Blue Ribbon Builders to capture the natural feel of the home’s surroundings. A massive boulder makes up the hearth in the great room, and provides ideal fireside seating. A custom-made stone replica of Lone Peak is the backsplash in a distinctive powder room; and a giant slab of granite adds the finishing touch to the home’s enviable wood, tile and granite kitchen. In the daylight basement, brushed concrete flooring adds both texture and durability. Roger Wade
