Mud Room

Situated outside the kitchen, on the way to the garage.  One side of the hall only.  This is a concept-won't be exactly like this...there will not be any enclosed cabinets or drawers.

Kitchen

This is the kitchen cooktop and hood design that we want to model.  Our framer will frame this space with our cooktop centered below a framed/tiled design.  The hood will be Cantera stone and stucco all the way up to the ceiling.

We have a copper light that looks very similar to the one in the photo.


 

Stairs

Included are some examples of interesting staircases:
