n the quest for a more livable home, today’s homebuyers are making a break from the past.

There are other trends at work. Here are some changes you may notice: Family-Friendly Floor plans — It’s all about encouraging families to spend more time together. Kitchens, for instance, are open allowing family and friends to mingle during food preparation. There are rooms for getting together to watch movies or sporting events and even areas for playing cards or board games. Amenities Aplenty— Whether homebuyers opt for a larger home like the one featured in this issue of Portfolio or a more modest-size residence, they have one trend in common: luxury accessorizing.

unique architectural details, oversized moldings, rich finishes, commercial-style appliances and high-end building materials and accessories. Casual Decors — The desire for formal living is waning. Instead, the pendulum has swung to casual, comfortable decors with natural wood flooring and wood blinds; stone, marble and granite floor and counter surfaces; and warmer hues replacing offwhite walls. Great Kitchens— Literally! The most popular room of the home keeps getting more deluxe with restaurant-quality stoves and refrigerators, double ovens and dishwashers, partitioned trash bins for recycling and oversized work islands. The cabinetry is taller, deeper and “dressed up” with crown molding and style-specific designer details that can vary from traditional to contemporary. Private Getaways —With today’s hectic lifestyles, many people crave spending as much time as possible at home to recharge. The desire to spend more time at home has brought with it an increase in specialized areas, such as home offices, dens, sitting
rooms, exercise rooms, game rooms, media rooms, wine cellars, libraries and even spa-style bathrooms. Extra Storage — From oversized garages to walk-in pantries, storage space is in greater demand than ever before. Some solutions include: cabinets in bedrooms, butler’s pantries adjacent to dining rooms, recycling bins and appliance garages in kitchens, as well as drop spaces for keys and briefcases, plus laptop and cell phone recharging. Aging-in-Place Designs — Increasing numbers of baby boomers are looking ahead to the future in their dream homes — adding special design features that will allow them to remain in their home as they mature and helping them accommodate aging parents, returning children and changing family dynamics.

oday’s open floor plans bring the kitchen into the limelight. Gone are the small, utilitarian rooms in the shadows where food was prepared and the cook was set apart from the family. There’s a new attitude — and appreciation — about kitchens. They are being transformed into places for friends and family to mingle. This explains why big kitchens are really in vogue. They form the nucleus of the home — the new command center for busy lives.
With this much emphasis on the kitchen, it’s no wonder that many homebuyers are opting for extra storage by stacking cabinets, adding moldings to dress it up and creating gorgeous islands to provide a focal point. After all, it’s about time the hardest working room in the house was as beautiful as every other one.

A Kitchen Insider As regional purchasing director for MHI in Texas, Jodi Steely is responsible for the purchase of about 1,200 kitchens a year. When it was time to select a supplier for her own home, she felt the choice was a “no-brainer”—Timberlake.
Such a strong endorsement comes from Jodi’s first-hand dealings. When building her own dream home, she chose to work with Timberlake. In her opinion, “the quality is better than job-site cabinetry and Timberlake has grown their offerings, which allows you to use cabinets in areas that were previously only for custom cabinetry.”

Storage O
ne reason people give for wanting a bigger house is the hope of getting more storage space. Many of us tend to collect things and squirrel away items we rarely use. So creating some spare storage is one more way clever designers turn a house into a home.
Whether it’s extra storage capacity in the kitchen, laundry room or rear foyer or adding pantries and linen closets, thoughtful cabinet designs are a welcomed feature.

Storage O
ne reason people give for wanting a bigger house is the hope of getting more storage space. Many of us tend to collect things and squirrel away items we rarely use. So creating some spare storage is one more way clever designers turn a house into a home.
Whether it’s extra storage capacity in the kitchen, laundry room or rear foyer or adding pantries and linen closets, thoughtful cabinet designs are a welcomed feature.

Baths F
resh and functional — today’s baths are evolving into highly personal spaces for relaxing and de-stressing from the worries of the world. So you are likely to find amenities like walk-in showers, soaking tubs, sitting areas and his-and-her vanities.
The “necessary room” of the past has come a long way with a fresh sense of style… and plenty of storage.

convenience of a bathroom for each bedroom. The bath for the third bedroom has a handy wall cabinet mounted between the vanity and the tub to keep towels and toiletries at hand.

Great Room – Bookcase
Cabinets: Wyoming® Cherry Bordeaux. Four wine rack cabinets are mounted pinwheel fashion to create a square at the center, which is lined with finished shelving, with grooved wall end panel at the back and trimmed at front edge with straight trim molding. Standard base cabinet works with under-counter wine chiller to form bottom for the countertop.
Cabinets: Wyoming® Cherry Bordeaux. Base cabinets are installed with an ogee pilaster molding toe kick. A tall end panel is cut to size to create the deck, with the front edge trimmed with batten molding. The bookshelf units are then placed on top of the deck. Along the top edge, classic crown with dentil molding insert finishes the installation.

Hall Bookshelves
Cabinets: Wyoming® Cherry Bordeaux. The TV space is created with two base 24s with reduced depth of 23," flanking a bookshelf with 12" depth. A tall end panel is trimmed with batten molding to create the deck. Two narrow wall cabinets rest on top at either end. Along the top, a pair of wall 36s with increased depth of 18" forms the bridge. A universal filler is trimmed to fit below the bridge and create the top of the TV niche. Classic crown molding, with dentil molding insert, lines the top.
Cabinets: Wyoming® Cherry Bordeaux. To form the island, two drawer-base 24s are placed against the back of a base 48 cabinet. Matching doors are added on the exposed ends. Then, base turned legs are placed about 12" out to create an overhang, secured in place on the short side with pieces of straight valance on both the front and back sides. On the longer side, frieze valances are cut to fit into place at the ends of the island. All valances are set with a 1/4" reveal at the legs. The custom countertop (by others) is Baltic Brown granite.
Cabinets: Wyoming® Cherry Bordeaux. 15" left and right opening desk door cabinets are placed at either end of the niche at 24" in depth, creating a kneehole area at the center, finished with tall end panels. A keyboard tray is mounted at the center. For the wall section, shorter cabinets are stacked above the tall uppers on each side with a bookshelf at the center. Traditional light rail molding creates a finished edge under the wall cabinets. The crown buildup at the top is classic crown with dentil molding insert.
Cabinets: Wyoming® Cherry Bordeaux. A 36" bookshelf is set between two 24" bookshelves, finished with an ogee pilaster molding toe kick. Along the top, fillers are used to make up the difference, so that the crown molding fits to the ceiling.

Master Bath
Cabinets: Wyoming® Cherry Bordeaux. To create the eye-level microwave cabinet, a 96" high utility cabinet was modified. The lower doors were removed and the unit was flipped upside down and cut down to 71 1/4" (including toe kick). This allowed for the addition of a 3/4" wood top and a 36" high upper stacked above to line up with the adjacent uppers for an overall height of 108 1/8". Fillers were added to block in for the microwave space and a sink/vanity front floor was used to support the microwave. Beaded molding is added to finish the edge of the wood top.
Cabinets: Wyoming® Cherry Bordeaux. Two 12" wide wall cabinets are stacked on a pedestal to line up with top of countertop backsplashes. The exposed side is skinned with a tall end panel to hide the seam and the lower cabinet has matching interiors and open frame doors. Additional end panel material is cut to fit above mirror for the light backplate. Crown molding is placed from end to end, consisting of classic crown with dentil molding insert.
