Built in 1860 we designed this kitchen to have the conveniences of modern life with a sense of having it feel like it could be the original kitchen. White oak with clear coated herringbone oak floor and stained white oak cabinetry deliver the two tone feel.
Metzger Design worked along side Bellevue Homes - a local developer/builder of high-end residential projects on this project. A rewarding process from the start - Bellevue Homes provided a clear concept for this 4,000 sf Craftsman style home and retained us to refine the massing and construction details.
The home features a spacious great room and kitchen area with a dynamic loft area above, first floor master suite, and a general flow and openness well suited for modern living and entertaining. Additional outdoor living spaces are created with oversized front and rear porches and a cozy courtyard formed within the space between the main structure and carriage house.

For a third year in a row, AZEK® Building Products is proud to partner with Sunset magazine on its inspirational 2018 Silicon Valley Idea House, located in the beautiful town of Los Gatos, California. The design team utilized Weathered Teak™ from AZEK® Deck's Vintage Collection® to enhance the indoor-outdoor theme of this year's home. It's featured in three locations on the home including the front porch, back deck and lower-level patio. De Mattei Construction also used AZEK's Evolutions Rail® Contemporary and Bronze Riser lights to complete the stunning backyard entertainment area.

Originally, the front of the house was on the left (eave) side, facing the primary street. Since the Garage was on the narrower, quieter side street, we decided that when we would renovate, we would reorient the front to the quieter side street, and enter through the front Porch.
So initially we built the fencing and Pergola entering from the side street into the existing Front Porch.
Then in 2003, we pulled off the roof, which enclosed just one large room and a bathroom, and added a full second story. Then we added the gable overhangs to create the effect of a cottage with dormers, so as not to overwhelm the scale of the site.
The shingles are stained Cabots Semi-Solid Deck and Siding Oil Stain, 7406, color: Burnt Hickory, and the trim is painted with Benjamin Moore Aura Exterior Low Luster Narraganset Green HC-157, (which is actually a dark blue).

This is a wonderful way to use space that would typically be a void. A great place for conversation and entertaining.
Hvordan møblerer jeg således, at det passer ind i den primitive new england stil?
Det er egentligt ikke så svært at møblere i ægte new england stil. Patina er nemlig nøgleordet, hvilket ikke ligger særlig langt væk fra nutidig dansk indretning. I amerikansk indretning må møblerne gerne være antikke og have godt med patina, så det er det, du skal gå efter. Ja, det kan godt være svært at finde gode, solide møbler, som har godt med patina, og som ikke koster en herregård. Men, du kan være heldig at finde flotte møbler, som er perfekte til formålet på loppemarkeder. Det handler bare om at besøge rigeligt med loppemarkeder, så står møblerne der pludseligt en dag. Det gør heller intet for stilen, at du eksempelvis anvender en gammel kiste som kaffebord for at give din indretning karakter. Benyt møblerne som du har lyst til – det gør ikke noget, at de ikke bliver anvendt til det formål, de er blevet fremstillet til. Det giver ekstra charme og karakter til din indretning.
Hvad kan jeg gøre ved gulvet, så det passer sammen med de antikke møbler?
Det vil naturligvis ikke gøre noget, hvis du havde mod på at gøre noget drastisk ved dit gulv. Har du gulvtæppe på over det hele, vil det være at anbefale at rive det af og slibe gulvet under. Det kan naturligvis kun lade sig gøre, hvis du har trægulv under gulvtæpperne. Slib det ned, så du får et rustikt trægulv – det passer utrolig godt sammen med møblerne, og understreger stilen fra new england. Amerikansk indretning er ikke så besværligt, når du først kommer i gang, da mange kendte elementer fra skandinavisk indretning går igen.
Hvilke detaljer kan jeg tilføje til indretningen, så den bliver mere amerikansk?
Detaljer i boligindretning kan man aldrig få nok af. Derfor vil det være at anbefale, at du går ud og anskaffer dig ting som små og store træskåle, antikke skabe og håndhugget køkkenudstyr. Fyld træskålene med kogler og garn, da det bidrager til sommerhusstemning. Indret endelig gerne med lampeskygger af tin og lysekroner i jern, da det er detaljer, du ikke kan få udenom, hvis du gerne vil have en gennemført amerikansk indretning.
