Artistic Addition for a Craftsman's House

Coming from an artistic background themselves, this Windsor Chair maker and talented Potter were ready to expand their home to include a Great Room with Kitchen and Dining area for entertaining and displaying their beautiful crafts. The white oak timber frame was stained a dark Mission Brown in order to have an old world feel. Views of the valley below will be appreciated from the long porch on the west side. The tall Great Room windows on the gable end will let you appreciate the path through the woods to the ponds below. This timber frame design included extra large curved struts for the dining area. The two connecting halls boasts faux arched splines made by Wil in burled walnut, which were installed during the assembly of the frame on the deck prior to raising. Wil and Katie will put their personal touches throughout the frame with colorful patterned walls and ceilings and handmade iron balcony railings. Playful black iron ravens perched on the oak balcony posts will be one of many interesting elements to this artful addition for a home in the mountains of northern Alabama. Working with such interesting clients made this project a fun one from start to finish.
