Rock fountains, exquisite Indonesian furnishing, handmade linens, teak
wood trim and accessories and granite
countertops are just a
few of the amenities that give these spectacular villas dramatic modern touches while maintaining soothing organic design.
We were devastated by his death and after a
few months we decided we needed something to do and I suggested to my husband that he could make a
countertop for our kitchen island out of some pieces of cherry
wood that a friend had given us.
As soon as we closed on our house, we started several projects immediately — we replaced our roof, removed the scruffy edges on the extra carport (aka «winnie hole»), added hardwood (red oak) floors in the living room, dining room, kitchen / den, and laundry room to match the floors in the back half of the house, screened and recoated the hardwood floors in the back half of the house, replaced the two sliding glass doors from the kitchen / den out onto the porch with French doors, removed doors between the kitchen and dining room and between the den and entry way, painted the
wood panelling in the den, painted the cabinets in the kitchen, replaced the old cabinet hardware, replaced the sink and range / hood, replaced a single wall oven with a double one, added granite tile kitchen
countertops, added a beadboard backsplash, replaced a
few light fixtures, added a chair rail in the dining room, added crown moulding in the living room and dining room, and painted lots of rooms.
