One of my favorites this year was the Clarkson by Summit Construction. The design was by Crystal Hintz from Design Hintz she did an outstanding job – everything was so well thought out and she was super nice and fun to talk to and had sources for everything! Osmond Designs did the furniture and decor – I loved it all!

Here is the floor plan that I love that they provide so as you see the pictures, you can imagine how it fits.

The door took main stage –-I love the curve, the wood, the seeded glass.

A lovely formal piano/sitting room was right off the entry:

And then you came into the open family room

and on into an open kitchen with DARK wood. I was kind of sick of seeing white kitchens everywhere and in this home I couldn’t believe how well the dark worked with all of the natural light and white around it.

This part looked like a custom furniture piece and lightened everything up while tying in the dark stained wood counter top.

Another feature I loved: the cabinets that were really a door that opened up to a huge pantry:

Look at that storage and countertop space! And there was also a spot for an extra fridge/freezer.

The dining area was right off of the kitchen

And just beyond that is a craft / laundry room. Love those red lights!

and have you ever seen a wrapping paper drawer?? Great ideas.

It went out the other way to the mudroom by the garage door
![mudroom mudroom](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-jTC9YLCoD1k/V18wsF42h_I/AAAAAAAAq6g/3wmSEsF7j4w/mudroom_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800)
and then to a hallway bath in periwinkle. I don’t usually love purple but this was really adorable with the matching periwinkle rectangle border.

A guest bedroom with

it’s own bathroom.

Now lets head to the other side to the gorgeous, serene master suite.
