TUSCAN VILLA

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Bill and Julia both worked on the construction of this 8,000 square foot house and pool house with extensive landscaping, however not for the same organization!  Bill served as owner’s representative and Julia managed the project for the general contractor.

The floors were slate and distressed hickory, with veneer plaster walls in the public areas (Venetian plaster in the master suite).  Much of the custom cabinetry was hand-distressed alder and many of the bathrooms featured trompe l’oeil decorations on the walls.

The finishes were selected to evoke a Tuscan Villa and included multi-colored slate roofing, copper gutters, natural stone wainscoting and walls, as well as cast stone features.  Ornamental stair rails were installed inside and outside.
