Curb appeal

Production home builder, Keystone Custom Homes, was the Builder that was chosen to work with on this project. We took one of their models and customized it to realize the owner’s dream home. This process saved time and money which allowed the owner to get what they wanted according to budget. The normal white windows were replaced with Black Anderson casement windows and the typical light siding and trim colors were replaced with dark rustic grays and old-world taupes.

Through all of the rain during the past nine months. This Modern Rustic Cottage is finally almost move-in ready. Here is a shot to show exterior colors. The stone is still being installed on the front facade, but you get the idea.

I’m just now starting on the interior design. Here are a few photos to show the before. You’ll be surprised at the AFTER! But…. I’ll give you a little taste of what to expect. The photo below shows the Master Bedroom. The entire room, including the ceiling will be painted, and then a chandelier will be hung in the center. I’ll let you wonder how I’m going to deck out the room for a later post. The door on the right leads to the Master Bath. The initial flooring was carpet and that was just ripped out so the new flooring you now see could be installed by Home Depot. This process saves money over having the Builder do the upgrades.

The photo below shows the Master Bath with all of the tile I specified. Their are two vanities on opposing walls. To save money, the Builder installed low-end lighting and counter tops. After occupancy, the owner is going to replace the counter tops with a high-end Granite (from Home Depot) that I specified, and all of the lighting will also be replaced with a higher-end fixtures. This room will also be painted to complement the Master Bedroom.
