Goals While their home provided them with enough square footage, the original layout caused for many rooms to be underutilized. The closed off kitchen and dining room were disconnected from the other common spaces of the home causing problems with circulation and limited sight-lines. A tucked-away powder room was also inaccessible from the entryway and main living spaces in the house. Our Design Solution We sought out to improve the functionality of this home by opening up walls, relocating rooms, and connecting the entryway to the mudroom. By moving the kitchen into the formerly over-sized family room, it was able to really become the heart of the home with access from all of the other rooms in the house. Meanwhile, the adjacent family room was made into a cozy, comfortable space with updated fireplace and new cathedral style ceiling with skylights. The powder room was relocated to be off of the entry, making it more accessible for guests. A transitional style with rustic accents was used throughout the remodel for a cohesive first floor design. White and black cabinets were complimented with brass hardware and custom wood features, including a hood top and accent wall over the fireplace. Between each room, walls were thickened and archway were put in place, providing the home with even more character.

A delightful bath, fitting for the rugged mountains of western Montana. Earth tones enlivened with greens, slates, and blues recall the local streams and rivers. Copper, hand hammered and free in form suggest an individuality that is central to mountain culture. Construction by Continental Construction. Photography by Kim Sargent Photography.

We reconfigured the bathroom, removing the large built in tub and replaced it with a custom tile shower. We added wall sconces at the vanity along with wall paneling for a traditional look.

To make the most of this bathroom space, the tub, shower and water closet needed to be moved. To increase the natural light and give the space a better feel, the existing window needed to be enlarged. The story board started with an Alder wood cabinet door styled simply with a minimal applied molding and finished in a medium stain.
