LINDAL CEDAR HOMES FEATURED IN THE DWELL COLLECTION

Due to the overwhelming response to this post, I am re-posting this again.

This house is JUST incredible and is the highlight/focus of my personal vision board!  This is my absolute favorite house style; so architecturally exquisite in my eyes.  The warmth and livability of these homes come from clean, uncluttered lines and the inspired use of natural materials in the Lindal building system. (Lindal Cedar Homes)

TURKEL DESIGN - The house, an original design created by Turkel Design for Lindal as part of the Dwell Homes Collection, is adaptable to multiple site conditions and opens to views simultaneously in several directions. These attributes led the design team to select this plan as the starting point for the unique conditions of this steep site. Turkel Design collaborated with the local independent Lindal Cedar Homes dealer, My House Design/Build, and positioned the house to open into a stand of old-growth cedars and out through the treetops to the opposite shoreline.

The TD3 2490 collects its own rainwater, uses passive methods to self-ventilate, and can be delivered and constructed in almost any location worldwide.

ENJOY!!

HAVE YOU RE-TREASURED ANYTHING LATELY?? | DIY | SUSTAINABLE INTERIOR DESIGN

Are you asking yourself -what is re-treasured?  

It is a word my husband Joe and I coined to describe our process of transforming an old or used item into something new/different.  Basically it is re-discovering the hidden or buried treasure within something, anything. 

The rest of the world calls it UPCYCLING.  With a little creativity and imagination, you can breathe new life into items that were destined for the curb or landfill.  Do you have a piece of furniture in your home that has been forgotten and could use an uplift? What about the frame sitting in your basement from an old mirror that broke 5 years ago? What about turning that ceramic vase, collecting dust in the cupboard into a lamp?  

I'd like to share with you a few of our re-treasuring projects.  

These two chairs had been put out on a neighbours lawn for the weekly household garbage pickup .  I loved the style of these chairs and actually needed two chairs for the entry of our home. 

We removed the old worn upholstery and replaced it with something just a little more contemporary that suited our décor.

 Our new found treasure in its new home

WHERE IS YOUR TREASURE TROVE HIDING?

Stay tuned for the next re-treasured item, Transforming a School Bus into an RV.

Please email me and share your re-treasuring projects!!!!
