Carriage House panorama…

We were in Rexford again this week doing a few touch up projects at our little carriage house and taking some photos for the website. From the first time I stood in this room I could feel just how good the space was. True, it is small…but there are so many things about it which just work, you forget the size all together. With the added personal touches the clients have bought in, this place feels like a little Montana mountain retreat. It’s so perfect I think we might just have to build another one…

The Granite

When we first begin the process of picking out all the “things” to go in a house there is always something, the one special item, which starts it all off. It could be a paint color, a piece of flooring, a stack of old barn wood, piece of art, just something to get the direction of the house going. In the case of the East Rim, it was this slab of granite picked out back in May. We had to battle other builders for the sheet, find other pieces to make the edge, base the kitchen around it…and today when it was being installed I could not have been more excited, because I know this was the IT piece!! And it looks perfect.

Now here’s a pantry door…

Sliding barn doors are a feature we like to work into our homes. In this case, we didn’t have quite the right spot, so we modified the concept for the panty. Here’s a shot of our custom 8 foot beetle kill blue pine bi-pass doors from RBM, and they look perfect in the kitchen of our East Rim house. We are in the last 10 days of this project, more photos to come!

Building an entrance…

The entrance of our Middle Fork Lodge is coming together, every day I drive up and something else has changed. Next week it will have a roof, the shingles, and the start of rock pillars. I thought the house looked great before, but this entry brings it to an entirely different level!

Color Palette

Our Whitetail project is in the siding phase this week, our framers are doing a fantastic job…I love seeing the transformation take place. This is the phase of the project when all the color selections start to come together. What do you think about the choice of a bold window color (in this case, harvest cranberry) set off by the dark trim?

House bones

The beams are going up on our Middle Fork Lodge project, and as I walked around today I could not help but admire the bones of this house. The clients worked on this design from the very beginning, they poured their hearts into creating this space…and walking around today it feels just as it should. It feels like a home. I can’t wait for them to see it…all those plans and ideas coming to life!

Flooring, revisited

  • Posted By : Jon K/

The fun part about design and building a home is watching all the pieces come together…and the things you change along the way. From the start, our clients imagined a barn gray wood floor, but then they saw it in person yesterday. We all stood back and took a second look, decided this floor was meant to be left natural, and today the first coat of sealer went on. I love the fact we can take a breath and change directions. In the end this floor is going to be the show stopper of the entire house. It’s just a little bit exciting…one piece closer to a home!

Garage House

Just came back from a quick visit to our garage house (carriage house – sounds much more refined) in Rexford. As always, I am amazed at the feel of this small space, and can’t get over how fantastic everything looks. We need to make a return trip and photograph everything for the website soon. I think I need one of my own…

For everyone who was through our parade house last weekend and saw our circle sawn fir/larch floor, I am excited to show you a different option. We are just finishing laying this 6″ beetle kill blue pine floors, with a wire brushed texture from RBM. I can’t wait to see this floor stained (a barn wood gray shade) look for some photos next week!

Parade of Homes 2013

The past 3 days of sharing our Old Montana home as part of the Flathead Builder’s Association 2013 Parade of Homes has been such an enjoyable and fulfilling experience. We loved hearing the positive feedback and compliments about our house; the efficient and open floor plan, leathered granite, wood floors, bunk beds, man cave, the thoughtful details, our craftsmanship, and so many more. It is the most fun and rewarding weekend of the year for our company. To everyone that came out to see our home and meet us – thank you. If you spent time talking to us about your future plans to build and how we could help, we will be in touch with you this week. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to send an email or give us a call.

We have 2 exciting new homes in the works. We started staking and excavation on the Northwood this week with the home owners assisting us in the placement of their house. We also poured the foundation and walls on our Wood Lot home. You can start following both projects on our website!

It’s not everyday your clients fly their own plane in for a quick visit at our little local airport! They’re just checking out the progress on their new Montana home. I feel lucky!

Inscribe: Write or carve (words or symbols) on something, esp. as a formal or permanent record.

Our clients timed their visit to Whitefish perfectly this week, and carved into the freshly poured garage floor this morning. Just the start of many memories for this amazing family in the Middle Fork Lodge!

We’re at The Bighorn house for the last full day of finishing touches. The clients will move in on Monday. Our electrician Dave is hanging the last few lights. Looking around today I can say I could not be happier with how this house came together. It’s fantastic, and it fits our clients perfectly.
