Social media week at OldMT…Jon has put in literally 100’s of hours this past week on our new website (this is what happens when Mr. Microsoft starts a building company!) I’m very proud of all the time and hard work he has put into this project (and I think, who else can do this sort of project??). Check us out at www.oldmt.com #buildwhitefish #mountainmodern #designbuild #montanabuildingcompany @oldmontanabuilding
We finally had a chance to update the chalkboard at the office (meaning I got around to it!). It’s the biggest warm fuzzy feeling to think back about all the houses we have built this past year, all the homes we have in progress and all the exciting projects we are working on. AND, we finally have something back on the list FOR SALE!! #buildwhitefish #mountainmodern #designbuild #oldmontanabuildingcompany
Putting a washer and drier in the master closet (especially these Asko ones…I could be a salesgirl for this company!) was a great decision. The boot collection isn’t too bad either. #oldmontanabuildingcompany #designbuild #mountainmodern #buildwhitefish #sorel #asko
Meet our drywaller Ron Laughlin (one of the nicest people you’ll ever know!) sitting on a bench made from our jobsite scraps. We up-cycle at least 2/3 of the waste on our job sites, and my Dad makes furniture (including this little beauty) with pieces of cast off wood. It’s something we are really proud of! #buildwhitefish #mountainmodern #designbuild #oldmontanabuildingcompany #upcycle @hileman1955
Master bath at the Woodlot…natural light in the small spaces really matters. We mixed wood countertops made locally and finished to look like metal, wood floors, wood trim with rock and stone. #oldmontanabuildingcompany #designbuild #mountainmodern #buildwhitefish
I love this house. The sort of place that gets better and better with time (except that one beam that will not stop leaking pitch…that’s part of building with real Montana Timbers!!) #buildwhitefish #mountainmodern #designbuild #oldmontanabuildingcompany
Happy weekend! Windows on every wall so you get this at least once some point in the day! #thelookout #buildwhitefish #mountainmodern #designbuild #oldmontanabuildingcompany #dwell
Installing a “new” wood flooring doesn’t mean it has to LOOK new…we’ve come up with our own process of making new fir/pine mixed floors appear to be reclaimed and I love them!! RBM Lumber Local Montana Wood. #buildwhitefish #mountainmodern #designbuild #oldmontanabuildingcompany #dwell
Working on the updated website tonight (meaning Jon’s actually doing the real work and I’m coloring!) This is often how our concept ideas start out…simple sketching. #buildwhitefish #mountainmodern #designbuild #oldmontanabuildingcompany
Fireplace at the First Creek (a real wood burning Montana fireplace with steel doors from Acutech in Columbia Falls). I’d like to take the credit for the feel of this room, but I think all the credit goes to the photograph above the fireplace (it’s a perfect moment in life!) #oldmontanabuildingcompany #designbuild #mountainmodern #buildwhitefish
One more shot from this morning…and the best concrete guy in the valley pouring our insulated slab! Thanks Dan! Look at all that pretty blue board and rebar. Framing to start next week! #oldmontanabuildingcompany #designbuild #mountainmodern #buildwhitefish #freshconcrete
We are getting ready to build another Haskill (for sale!) and I am looking back at old photos remembering how much I loved this entry space with the barn door and huge 12 foot ceilings thought. #buildwhitefish #mountainmodern #designbuild #oldmontanabuildingcompany #thehaskill
Part of our design process is to take our vision (based on a lot of collaboration with the homeowner) and turn that into a buildable set of plans. Montana Creative’s architecture team hard at work this afternoon on the new Haskill! #buildwhitefish #mountainmodern #designbuild #oldmontanabuildingcompany #thehaskill
Rock shot from the The Middle Fork we are just finishing up…Kintla mix with an Ashler cut/stack executed to perfection by our mason Doug. It’s done so well it almost doesn’t look real!! Stone from Montana Rock Works. #buildwhitefish #mountainmodern #designbuild #oldmontanabuildingcompany #montanarockworks
Super hero mudroom hooks. When you have 4 kids spaces like this are essential (and this homeowner is the queen of organization) I love all these bright colors! Everything here is made from jobsite extras! #buildwhitefish #mountainmodern #designbuild #oldmontanabuildingcompany
We recently did the exercise of going back through the past 5 years and listing out our awards (not something we generally keep track of!!) and I found this photo from this year. I love this award because we loved this project and these clients so much!! It was such a fun project (we were truly sad when it ended!!) #buildwhitefish #mountainmodern #designbuild #oldmontanabuildingcompany
Reclaimed wall are timeless…and a little shout out to Glacier Park and the Pendleton Collection (my friend designed this special addition 100 year anniversary blanket!!) #oldmontanabuildingcompany #designbuild #mountainmodern #buildwhitefish #pendleton #restorationhardware #dwell #reclaimedwood
Slab pouring day!! Starting a new project in the Lakes in Whitefish and it’s always exciting to see the pump truck on the jobsite. #oldmontanabuildingcompany #designbuild #mountainmodern #buildwhitefish
Have you ever seen so much soda (and this home owner is a doctor!!) We actually set it up this way for the parade of homes, but there is something really great about a family friendly bar area. Maybe it had something to do with us winning best floor plan! #buildwhitefish #mountainmodern #designbuild #oldmontanabuildingcompany
Builder of the Year/Photographer! One of the most rewarding pieces of our process is getting a chance to take pictures of our finished homes (we just seem to need a little more time in the day to do it!) #buildwhitefish #mountainmodern #designbuild #oldmontanabuildingcompany
