We fell in love with this gorgeous deck with its 18 foot soaring river rock fireplace before we even saw the house ! We loved decorating the porch because we spend so much time outside looking at the wonderful lake and mountain views

Unique Rock Fireplace

I love animals and love to decorate my home with the animal theme. My talented husband built me a rock fireplace with rocks dug from the mountains that resemble all kinds of animals. Can you see them? Each time I sit by my fireplace to warm I see a little creature I had not seen before.

Coral Rock Fireplace

Our home was built in 1926 and has this fireplace that is made of coral rock or coquina rock. It had been painted white and we can not get it off and back to the natural rock face. We have been told it is impossible to remove the paint from the rock. So...we need help. Any suggestions on how to make this look fantastic. I upload a couple photos to give you an idea on the type of house it is. We have been working on this house for 2 years now.

This is my horrible 30 year old fireplace. Short of a sledgehammer, how else can I fix it? Someone help me figure out how to update, lighten and brighten! It's hideous! Furniture is gone, new will replace it.

Rustic mountain home ...

Our home is in a ski area and it backs up to a greenbelt on the mountain. When we bought it, my husband said it looked like Laura Ashley lived there - so it needed (still needs a lot of work. For the first phase, we completely rennovated the kitchen and modified the living area. We changed a closet holding the washer/dryer into a wetbar, added hardwood floors with stone trim, and updated the entertainment center. The house was very dated as it was built in 1989.

We changed out the windows and removed one of the the two sliding back doors and turned it into a large window. There is good natural light in the daytime. Most of the pitures were taken at night and seem a bit darker than reality.

We replaced the wooden chair railings with custom iron railings. The wall with the entertainment center had slanted notty pine which was removed to lighten up the room.

It's a small area but very cozy. We love spending time there cooking and entertaining.

We did the remodel in 3 phases to allow us to use the house during ski seasons and summer. The next phase was to remove a bedroom wall to make a home office. We extended the garage and added a front deck including sliding glass doors.

We have just moved into this new home & had the fireplace built to our design. We took full advantage of our huge windows but are looking for the best ways to reduce the sun glare. Ideas?
