Professional Photos
There's nothing like a professional photographer - in my case having Amy Rader (http://www.amyraderphotographer.com) - to make your house look spectacular. I hope you enjoy seeing this series of photos that start at the top of the house and work their way down. We’ve excluded my son’s room in the 4th floor bird’s nest since its rarely in any shape to be photographed, but then he’s 13. And I haven’t shown every room on the main floors, but you can get a sense of type of spaces we created, the atmosphere and loftiness, and connections between the rooms. I also hope you’ll be able to detect some of the special features we included such as the green building elements, the detailing such as the shelf for our collections, and the richness of the color scheme and materials.
More to come soon on the green building aspects of this home. Hope you’ll log in again soon.

The Master Bedroom with cathrdral ceiling and a luscious blue that is serene and soothing. The passive solar energy captured in this room heats up the space to 70º during the day, keeping heating costs low.
