ASID Award Winning Home Design

This custom new build is a 5,569 square foot single story ranch-style home. The home features four bedrooms, four bathrooms, expansive kitchen, open-concept living and dining, and numerous spaces for entertaining and utility. The house sits on lakefront property and the architectural layout is oriented to maximize unobstructed panoramic views of the surrounding environment. The views provided by the lake were a key factor in selecting the home’s location and subsequent design. All material specification, furnishings, and accessories were completed by Kevin Twitty Interiors.

The pool table in this game room was custom selected to have black felt which matches the carpeting in the media room. The game room takes advantage of the magnificent view and blends modern, classic, and industrial styles. This is the “man cave” of the home.

An inviting sitting area was placed at the foot of the bed to enjoy a cup of coffee or tea as the homeowners enjoyed the slower pace of lake-life mornings. It’s also a great place to wine down at the end of the day.

Crisp & Bold Bedroom Suite Design

Originally this space was your traditional early-2000’s bedroom converted into a home office. Imagine cherry wood tones, plush beige carpeting in the bedroom, and green tiled floors, shower, and countertop in the bathroom. Needless to say, this room was in need of an update. With a dedicated home office in another part of the house, there was not a need for this space anymore, so we decided to transform it into a hotel-chic inspired guest bedroom suite.

A chrome four-post upholstered bed was chosen to visually raise the height of the room. Flanking oversized hanging lights bring home that hotel-chic style. The bold colors pop against a crisp white wall and taupe molding.

In order to add warmth to this crisp bedroom design, the trim was painted a warm taupe, gold accents were, and touches of warm jewel tones were layered throughout.

5 Easy DIY Projects to Deck out your Dwelling

We are all spending more time on…well..having more time on our hands. Meaning, this is the perfect opportunity for us all to tackle those easy DIY projects in our home. The greatest part about it all is it won’t cost you much money and will make a huge impact on your emotional well being. Check out my suggestions on what you can do to make the time go by a little faster while beautifying your surrounding.

1. Paint!

A can of paint costs next-to-nothing for the huge impact it will make. Not to mention, some of us have left over paint cans hanging around; so why not use them? Adding a pop of color to your front door showcases your personality and painting an accent wall in your home creates visual interest and depth.

2. Tidy up and declutter!

While some of us have a junk drawer in our homes (most of us) and others may have a junk room, now is the time to clean out and organize. A cleaner space will help us be more productive, organized, and happier!

3. Deep Clean

You may be thinking, “Duh, Kevin, of course I should clean.” I am not talking about the every-day cleaning, i’m talking about that cleaning you do every now and then; grout in kitchens and bathroom, baseboards, windows, and furniture vacuuming (you read that right). Did you know that vacuuming your furniture will get all of the years of dust, skin cells, and dirt off of it? It instantly breathes new life into furnishings and will help extend the life. Don’t forget to unzip those cushions and vacuum inside the casings as well!

4. Art projects!

Add a bit of you into your home with custom arts ant crafts! Some of us have transitioned from CEO to stay-at-home and are now having to juggle entertaining out little ones. A great project is allowing your family to create something special for the home. From rock painting to framing a painting you created, this will add that pop of personal!

5. Change out your light bulb

Lighting is so important. We have all been in that zoom meeting where someone has terrible lighting and they look like that are giving an anonymous witness testimony or live in a yellow covered world. Lighting has different warmths that give off a yellow, white, or blue tint. My recommendation is 3000 kelvin, perfect balance of warmth and white. Uniform light temperature through your home will create the perfect ambience for you to enjoy!
