WHen Kim Colsett and Dennis Walls wanted to reduce their house in McCutchanville. They still wanted many of the amenities in larger apartments. They set high ceilings and an open concept, an stage life, but “if they smaller, they don't see much of it,” says Walls.
Instead of sacrificing these amenities and creating an inviting living and outdoor area for themselves and the visitors, they bought the undeveloped property next door at the end of 2021. “We wanted a little less to take care of ourselves and the opportunity to build something for ourselves,” says Walls.
Walls and Coslett went to Dubord Homes, Inc., and Dubord went to work with blueprints of their desired layout and stood up to work and stood up to builders and subcontractors to build the couple's dream house. The construction lasted about a year and a half; In the meantime, the couple sold their former house next door and lived in an apartment when Covid-19 delayed that the initial completion date was pushed back. Until April 2023, they were ready to switch to their new home of 3,200 square meters. In accordance with your wishes for a stage life, the only staircase is up to the front door and up to the in-floor pool.
Three sets with eight foot double doors serve as entrances to the house, where Coslet's expertise in the interior is fully exhibited. Living works of art that are exhibited throughout the entire center serves as the center – from the eight paintings in the front hall alone. “My design experience has contributed to bringing everything together. We love colorful art,” says Coslett.
Since she has her own shop to end in Newburgh-she had no problem finding a breathtaking decor to fill the three and a half bathroom house with three beds. The couple brought very little out of their previous home; Almost everything came from the furniture markets in Atlanta, Georgia and High Point, North Carolina. When you walk from room to room, there is always something to discover: a black sculpture of the head of a woman adorned with butterflies, a dark bronze manor that holds a cigar, and small golden leaves that emphasize the stem of a lamp. It is playful and unexpected.
The kitchen with cupboards from Amish Builders contains black and golden lights and devices that pack out of the plastic for a white finish and a wooden floor. A gray-white back splash pulls out the stove, while a white island serves as a casual meeting point.
The black kitchen table is an examination of the contrasts. Two pale hands with palms that are upwards stand next to two bronze -colored bird statues, which apparently pick in a white flower arrangement in the middle. A simple but large golden chandelier hangs up the area and hangs on a tray blanket with a crown shape, which is crowned by thin black fields.
The adjacent living room again contains different elements. White sofas and chairs are accentuated by pink, black, white and multicolored pillows. The television is located above a black fireplace between black cupboards with colorful sculptures, pots, plants and works of art. Black and golden lights beautify a chandelier that hangs on individual square blankets.
Overall, the dining room, the kitchen and the living room appear as different living areas
“We could all be in the kitchen, in the living room and in the dining room, and everyone would still be together,” says Coslett and because of the big double doors: “Even when they are inside, they feel like you are outside.”
The house does not only appear with color inside. Coslett and Walls also thought a lot about the 900 square meter backyard surrounds the pool, and it is now their favorite part of the residence. Colorful art and a mixture of green, white, blue and pink plants adorn the outside. Walls and Coslett spend a lot of time in a covered L-shape living space with three fans, lots of seating with two gray chairs and a couch, a coffee table, a location outdoors where another plant is in a pot sent with lemons.
“We sit outside in storms, but don't get wet,” says Coslett, adding that you “wanted to create a feeling in the outside for the house”.
Only a few steps are required to get into the pool to relax on the lounge chairs and to look at the view of the wall of trees that outlined the property. In the pool house, the couple comprised outdoors with television, fireplace, two refrigerators, sinks and grill as well as a bathroom inside. “We wanted a pool and pool house,” says Walls. “We spend a lot of time outside.”
“It is what we hoped for,” says Coslett, adding that the couple could add a fireplace outdoors in the future.
As an interior designer with 50 years of experience, Coslett came that the planning of the interior design of her own space came naturally.
“I do it every day for others, so it wasn't too difficult for me and I know what I like,” she says.
After intensive efforts during the design and construction processes, Coslett and Walls have the house they imagined and complement the Dubord team that they react to minor changes.
“None of us had ever built a home. We were surprised at how many decisions there were. When it is finished, it is really the house they hit,” says Walls. He advises homeowners with the eye on a future custom build: “With a good perspective, you should go into what you want. It will take a while, so you just have a perspective.
