A talented team (including Ashton Klomp Interiors, McEwan Custom Homes, architect Joe Carrick of JCD Homes, Northland Design Group and more) forges a magnificent family getaway in the mountains of Midway.
“[The homeowners]simply wanted to build a mountain family retreat, a place where they could gather with their children and grandchildren to create special moments and memories,” says interior designer Christy Klomp. She and design partner Kathryn Ashton teamed with McEwan Custom Homes’ Matt McEwan and Devin Dye to deliver this and more.
From the beginning, one homeowner favored a light-and-bright coastal style, while the other preferred something more rustic. The phrase “modern farmhouse” was bandied about early on, but the designers rejected this of-the-moment style. Instead they responded with a traditional heritage farmhouse characterized by time-honored mountain materials, inviting spaces and a timeless décor that reflects the home’s pastoral setting, yet feels fresh, light and blissfully lived in. “It was a balancing act, a push and pull throughout the project,” Ashton says.
Case in point: the front entry. In keeping with one craving for rustic mountain elements, the home’s exterior features rugged limestone, peaked rooflines and hefty beams. Typically, a mountain home’s entry would boast dark, vaulted timbers framing a massive wooden door. Here, however, the beams are arched and light toned, the door is glass and the entry is spanned by an expansive, arched wall of steel-framed windows. Mountain views flow directly from the back of the house and through the interior to this transparent entrance. “Here and throughout the home, we took traditional elements and executed them in contemporary ways to create a fresh, timeless style,” Klomp explains.
Inside the home, warm shades of light greige, mixed wood tones and accents of varied blues create a palette that flows seamlessly throughout the interior, creating a comforting sense of continuity.
