- An artful blend of hand-peeled Douglas fir and pine comprise the room’s logs, posts and trusses.
- Reclaimed barnwood is the source of the flooring’s drastic variation in color and texture, and it’s a choice that’s both environmentally considerate and creates instant history.
- Large, floor-to-ceiling panels of clear glass frame the monolithic Colorado red rocks that lie just outside. In fact the room is specifically designed to emphasize the home’s natural surroundings.
- Local flagstone encases the fireplace and extends to an accent wall. A niche above the firebox and mantel sets the stage for artistic touches.
- Not only does the drywall’s terra cotta tone blend perfectly with the logs’ stain shade, it brings the color of the regions’ famed rock formations right into the room.
