INTERIOR TRIM PACKAGE & WALL TREATMENTS
Installation of the interior trim package and wall treatments has begun! I love this part of a project because the character of the "home" starts to come alive as the various pieces are installed. Window & door casing, baseboard, frieze board, crown molding, and wall treatments (utilizing T&G bead board) come together to create the character of the interior spaces.
The T&G bead board is applied at specified locations throughout the residence to achieve the following...
- Establish a consistent character throughout the residence.
- Emphasize focal points in select interior spaces.
- Provide wainscot treatment at the stair well.
- Assist in differentiating niches, alcoves, and other elements.
I included additional trim pieces to create a more formal expression (taenia with frieze above & architrave below), for use in select locations. The Living & Dining space includes these pieces, to provide a more fitting backdrop to the Fireplace mantle/surround I designed.
Notes For Each Of The Attached Photographs, In Order...
:: The stair going up to the 2nd Floor, from the 1st Floor Vestibule.
:: Looking towards the 1st Floor Vestibule (with French doors). You can see the stair leading down to the Ground Floor Entry, as well as the underside of the stair leading up to the 2nd Floor, which has been trimmed and treated with the T&G bead board.
:: Standing in the Kitchen area and looking towards the wall on the Dining side of the Dining & Living space. The additional trim pieces are visible on box-beam, above, and the walls in the Dining area. The T&G bead board treatment above the partially built Fireplace mantle/surround is visible as well.
:: Here's a closer view of the Dining area Fireplace wall.
:: This photo shows the "typical" trim pieces used at doors and cased openings throughout the house, as well as the application of the T&G bead board for wainscot, and it's application as a full height wall treatment in select locations.
:: The photo's a bit dark but, it shows the application of T&G bead board in the vestibule outside the entry door to the Master Suite... there's a built-in bench with hinged seat for storage of shoes, etc. Above the bench seat, shelving will also be installed.
:: Here's a photo showing the an alcove in the Guest Suite, which has a built-in desk installed (site built). Above the desk, a window with all the "typical" trim pieces is visible.
** Note: The Kitchen and the cabinetry in the Living area alcove has been built off-site by a manufacturer, per my construction documents, and will be installed in the near future. Site built cabinets are provided otherwise, including: Laundry Room, two computer desks, wet bar, and misc. closet cabinetry & shelving. **
:: Last interior photo for now... showing the door design for all interior doors, as well as the casing that is nicely joined between the closet doors and the opened pocket door.
A Few "Bonus" Photos Of The Exterior, In Order...
:: View of the Rear Facade... the exterior paint scheme has started to go up. It's a neutral color scheme: shades/tints of gray with the trim punched out in a creamy white and the Ground Floor vertical bay in-fill painted a contrasting charcoal.
:: A photo of the left-rear corner of the residence, which includes the outdoor shower enclosure.
:: Here's a closer view of the outdoor shower enclosure.
As always, I welcome all comments or questions and will do my best to reply in a timely fashion.
