Retirement Home
Kind of dark but we might want to bring in some stonework.
A close-up of same outdoor kitchen. I do like the stonework and stone top.
Notice the raised fire pit with raised rock. This might be what we are looking for with the combination of access and safety for small kids I.e. flame is high with a deep shelf so they can’t reach in and burn their hands.
Some nice features here. Kidney shaped. Wall and stone work combinations. Access to cabana. Integrated water feature to drown out traffic noise.
Another view.
Maybe this is all we need. Room on side for bathroom and some storage.
Some good ideas with outdoor kitchen and fire pit in the background with a table and chairs.
Might be some features here we would build into cabana.
Rock looks too fake but this is the slide and water feature idea.
How do we use rocks from the property to build a rock feature with steps and a slide for kids?
Better picture
Matching style of house and nice roofing.
Nice way to break up all white with wood around top of cabinets.
Might be another way to bring in some limestone by building the arch and pillars coming on from great room.
Might be a way to bring in a little limestone without sacrificing art space as part of vent hood.
Saved to show what we don't want. Cabinets too close to vent hood looking crowded.
Bringing limestone into the kitchen.
Interesting feature with the common railing around cabinets and vent hood.
Hadn't considered the vent hood matching the island ....
Added to think about pillars at entrance.
Interesting sink.
Interesting idea to build in a lighted wine glass cabinet in the island. Likely won't work with stools in front.
Nice copper vent hood. Too many arches in cabinets?
Only saved to see the Westie.
Some interesting colors and a nice ceiling and hanging light combo. Interesting way to transition from hardwood to a combined wood and tile.
Some nice symmetry on the back wall. Also saved to talk about bringing some limestone into the kitchen.
Another nice combo of light and dark.
Nice combination of wood and lighter cabinets. Nice beams.
Given the slope and the placement of the pool, this might be a nice backdrop to back of pool.
Dawn and I still debating a larger poolhouse with bathroom on one side and storage on the other with shae in the middle. We'll chunk a rock as we get closer and get a sense of cost. Saving this one because it fits with the style. I like the stone base with stucco above.
Not our style. Only reason I saved it is to talk about gravel driveway area vs concrete. Worth discussing?
Interesting way to do the windows down the staircase. I had not thought of level at the top but longer as you go down. Nice touch.
This one has some nice color contrasts between the stucco and the framing around the windows. It also has the woodwork under the roof but in white vs wood colors. Interesting.
What caught my attention here is the outdoor lamps on top window. Might be interesting to consider.
Saved this so we can talk about lighting. Maybe gas lamps at the entryway with a couple at the entrance from culdesac. I am starting to like the woodwork under the roofing. Nice use of rocks in the garden. Might want to save some as we dig out the pool area. Also want to talk about using same rocks to make the walkway from firepit to pool and down to greenhouse.
The roof over the rounded part is quite nice. Breaks up the roofline a bit. Something to consider over the rounded staircase in front and the breakfast room iand above Dawn's craft room in the back.
Also a nice clen look. Liking the palm trees. Maybe that is what is in the center of the drive way area with the cutout circle surrounded by deer unfriendly flowers.
This is a very clean look, Kind of nice.
Very interesting lighting we might want to look at along roofline. Nice front door.
Might be too dark but nice cabinetry. Might be nice to bring in some of the stonework here.
