When Dezirae Bruni and Jessica Rae Sommer of Maverick Design encountered the 1996 semi-custom log home, they recognized a “diamond in the rough,” Sommer says. The duo teamed with Wedgewood Homes to transform the dated lodge into a modern mountain retreat. “Our mission was to deliver a restorative retreat with improved finishes and flow, while celebrating the home’s existing features that are perfect for families and entertaining,” Bruni explains.
1. Overworked design elements dated the previous primary bath. Today, the room features medallion-tiled floors and a clean-lined oak vanity. A wet room houses a free-standing tub and multiple shower heads.
2. The design team relocated and expanded the kitchen into an adjacent space. Now, custom white-oak millwork and dual islands bring the kitchen into modern times. Large windows frame the mountain views and oversized Rejuvenation pendants animate the space.
3. The ‘90s era staircase featured worn mountain finishes and bullying log railings. The new staircase maintains a similar shape, but gains an airiness thanks to cable railing details and oak treads. The team ditched the original stone fireplace in favor of an open floor plan and integrated a modern firebox on the room’s opposite wall.
