Warm Gathering Space
To create a generous family gathering space, architect Dan Costa designed a living room addition with a large Rumford fireplace to look like it was originally built to connect the main house to a nearby barn. To give the new construction some instant age, he installed antique paneling he found on eBay and other online sources. The floor planks came from a barn in Wisconsin; the rafters, from one in Pennsylvania. All of this wood lends a sense of warmth and history, plus a rich, woodsy scent.

Integrated Cabinets
These homeowners designed this kitchen using the concept of integrated space. Visually the kitchen, rimmed with a boomerang-curved bar, is a seamless extension of the living and dining rooms. Can't spot the refrigerator? That's the idea. Panels of maple with insets of bird's-eye maple disguise the appliance. - Dream Time
