This active family of five was in search of a home-away-from-home. Upon deciding to build a weekend getaway within an hour’s travel of the hustle and bustle of their main residence, their dream escape was in the making. The country home features cozy, rustic finishes that make this home a comfortable gathering spot for the family to relax & unwind. In addition, it was important to the family to include functional amenities for hosting large holiday gatherings with friends and extended family. The custom kitchen provided the solution. Aesthetically, a smooth, custom-painted finish on the cabinets compliments the exposed logs and beams on the walls & ceiling. The mullion glass doors and the arch on the range hood off-set the horizontal lines of the log walls. From a functional standpoint, the large center island not only serves as an efficient prep space, but also serves as a large buffet area for entertaining. The kitchen design also features various work centers to accommodate more than one cook ... an absolute must, particularly during the holidays!
