Hey everyone...i am still around. Life just seems to slip away so fast. What seems like forever...comes and goes. My kiddos are growing up and I find myself in a sticky situation. A bump. I love my family and they are most definately #1 in my book....but everyday life seems to slip away so fastly. I'm stumped. My business is crazy. Coming off a crazy remodel....and then wisked away to Montana 10,000sf home. I didn't even go to bed the night before I left. Right in the middle of the beginning of school and football (in which I have yet to go to a practice). Meanwhile I have around 15 clients who have been waiting patiently for my time....and while I was away in Montana...I had 3 more potential client calls. Montana is actually enough for my plate....but I have so many faithfuls. Some parts of me just wants to stay home....but how do you turn off a creative mind? My husband has had enough with all the crazy projects going around here...and Montana just stirred up some more. Ohhhh, how exciting the trip was. Rustic....just down my alley. The Motana home is at the tip top of the mountain. The road was cut over a 2 year period if that tells how insanely tall this mountain is. All land surrounding is the owners....including the property across the street. They will be installing there own ski lift. Here is a peek at the view:
and look at this. This is the entry into a business called Big Timber Works. They are doing some of the projects on the home. I have been collecting limbs around my property for a while and everyone has been giving me a hard time about my pile. At least I can show them a visual of what I had in mind. See....honey....don't burn my limbs.
Ok....back to the remodel. The long awaited pics. I have to give you an appetizer until I finish taking pictures.
Isn't it purdy? We do have hardware installed now...which even makes it more stunning....wait until you see the island. I must brag and say that my two hands built the hood. curves and all. Boy that was a little confusing. It took about 5 hours and then around 1am....my hubby came out and helped me put on the sheetrock. I did a very cool texture with burlap on it. I will have to get a close up. My client wanted tuscan....I think I succeeded!
Yes, you definitely succeded. Now is that in YOUR kitchen or your clients?? I'm a little confused. It is just stunning. OOh, a pot filler!!! How nice.

Hi! This is my first visit to your site and I'm blown away by your design talent. Seriously, it is breath taking! I found your site through Heather Melzer's beautiful site! I just did my kitchen in the Tuscan look. How I wish I would have seen your design first! Could you please, please tell me exactly where I can find those bottles on the counter, the trivet, the framed Cross and of course, that amazing wrought iron and trim design on the cabinets?!! There may still be some hope for my Tuscan kitchen yet. Thank you! Kasie

If it's not too much trouble, could you please post a few more photos of that gorgeous Tuscan kitchen?!

Andrea, one more question about the beautiful Tuscan kitchen, which as you can clearly tell, I absolutely LOVE! (I looked at THOUSANDS of kitchens online and in books while I was designing my Tuscan kitchen, and never saw one as beautiful as this one). What color paint did you use to achieve that rich warm reddish tone? And, where can I find that beautiful leafy trim? Thank you!!
