New Home Build or Kitchen Remodel in Denver? Check out these Custom Walnut Kitchen Cabinets

These custom kitchen cabinets are currently being installed in the Huff Residence, a new modern-home designed and built by Denver home builder: West Standard.

The grain-matched custom walnut cabinets feature bar height seating at the peninsula, and counter height seating at the island. Both sides of the island incorporate a waterfall counter top. "Waterfall" refers to the effect created by continuing the counter top material down the sides of the island. This technique creates a sleek, clean, modern aesthetic. The quartz counter top is by Caesarstone, color: Pure White.

The stainless steel double-basin undermount sink features KWC fixtures, and a separate fixture for filtered cold and instant hot water. Appliances are from Jenn Air and include a double oven, counter depth refrigerator, and induction cook top with down-draft. A built-in Miele espresso/coffee maker will also be installed.

This kitchen was designed by Denver based West Standard and avenuetwo:design. The custom cabinets are hand made in Denver by avenuetwo:design.

Fun Functional Modern Vanity for Child's Bathroom

Can a child's bathroom vanity be fun? We think so. This rendering shows a vanity we will install in our modern design + build project located in Denver's Washington Park. The counter-top is cantilevered, and the left cabinet stack is set on castoring wheels. The wheeled cabinet can be filled with child's bathing supplies and toys, and can be moved tub-side. In addition to providing a convenient solution for reducing bathroom clutter, the cabinet can be used as a seat while bathing a child.

The cabinets feature solid walnut veneer, Ronbow sink, Aquabrass faucet, Blum slides and hinges; Siro Design pulls, model: Quadra; and Caesarstone counter top, color: Apple Martini.

Sustainable Modern, Denver Modern Home with Colorado Beetle Kill Siding

Mountain Pine Beetle

The mountain pine beetle generally affects Lodgepole, Ponderosa, Scotch and Limber Pines in Western North America. The beetle transfers a blue fungi to the pines giving the wood a unique bluish coloration. This fungi is thought to inhibit the flow of water and nutrients within the pine, ultimately resulting in the tree's demise.

Reclaiming Beetle Kill Pine, also called Blue Pine, reduces fire risk and provides a source of sustainable building material. Thus, making it a great "green" choice for cladding modern homes.

Before attaching Beetle Kill Pine to the home, it is recommended that

both the sides and edges of each board be treated. In the home shown to the right a semi-transparent, oil based, exterior stain was used. It was applied with a brush, and then wiped with a cotton cloth. Wiping eliminates tracks left by the brush. Rolling oil based stain is not recommended.

On this Denver modern home located in Washington Park both 1"x4" and 1"x8" tongue and grove (T&G) Beetle Kill was used. The lighter colored stain is Sea Gull Gray, and the darker stain is Spanish Moss. Both of which are by Benjamin Moore.

Building green and sustainable does not always have to be expensive. Beetle kill is substantially less expensive then cedar. 

Tongue and Grove Beetle Kill Pine:
1"x8" T&G = $.60/lf 
1"x4" T&G = $.33/lf
