Interior Design Elements
Fireplace Surround - Great Room - The fireplace surround begins with the beautiful exterior stone flowing from the hearth up to the rich, wood mantle. The overall look gives the feeling of a cozy retreat.
Fireplace Surround - Master Bedroom - This fireplace surround replicates the look of antique limestone with a faux-finish, and a granite or marble trim makes it complete.
Granite Countertops - Thick, deep-curved moldings edge the countertop slabs in the kitchen and master bath.
Architectural Millwork & Interior Trim - The doors and windows of the Chalets will appear as having been set into true plastered walls. Here, a thin edge reveals a frame that surrounds and holds the door in place. The plaster wall turns gently into this frame as a bullnose edge completes this detail.
A simple base with clean lines will finish off the walls in this home. This baseboard will be 7 1/4 inches tall and will be painted to contrast slightly with the wall color.
Beautiful crown moldings in specified room locations - this molding will have a simple, cove design which is painted with light hues to accent the room
Window sills in this home will have a Craftsmen style look and a painted finish to follow along with the overall style of the home.

Door Hardware - As a beautiful way to finish off the doors in this home, they will have old world style levers mounted over a raised backplate escutcheon in a pewter finish.

Above the stone wainscot is a combination of horizontal and vertical cedar siding. The stain colors for the siding will blend nicely with the stone for a rustic feel to the home.

The Arxx wall system out performs other construction methods with its structural integrity, energy efficiency, sound reduction, and wind and fire resistance.
