Ben and Beth Foster both like things a little bit rustic and a little bit modern, so when they embarked on building their own house, they aimed for a “modern mountain style” that’s perfectly in tune with the home’s locale nestled among the trees.
“The homeowners really loved the modern mountain style and wanted to embrace that for their new home,” says ML Designs’ Maureen Lindstrom, who worked with the Fosters on their approximately 6,300 square-foot home. “The wife’s style is a bit more modern than the husband’s, so we were trying to find the perfect mix to marry the two styles together for a design they both would love.” And they do.
“We thought the darker colors reminded us of other modern mountain style homes we admired and blended well with the surrounding landscape,” Ben says.
Lindstrom created the “moody vibe” by using a dark green color on the cabinets that mimics the woods outside. For the bar’s backsplash, she also used deep green. Photography by Laura Kilgore.
