A classic traditional porch with tuscan columns and barrel vaulted interior roof with great attention paid to the exterior trim work.

How do you make a split entry not look like a split entry? Several challenges presented themselves when designing the new entry/portico. The homeowners wanted to keep the large transom window above the front door and the need to address “where is” the front entry and of course, curb appeal. With the addition of the new portico, custom built cedar beams and brackets along with new custom made cedar entry and garage doors added warmth and style. Final touches of natural stone, a paver stoop and walkway, along professionally designed landscaping. This home went from ordinary to extraordinary! Architecture was done by KBA Architects in Minneapolis.

Normandy Designer Stephanie Bryant CKD worked closely with these Clarendon Hills homeowners to create a front porch entry that was not only welcoming to family and guests, but boosted the curb appeal of this traditional home.

The front door of this grand country house has been given a new lease of life by painting the outdated "orange" wood in a bold and elegant green. The look is further enhanced by the topiary in antique stone plant holders.
