1133sc's Profile

Hello. Roy here (one of the homeowners)... big thanks to everyone for the kind words! We're glad others seem to enjoy our casa as much as we do.

For those looking for a more information on finishes, materials, etc. Liane and I maintained a blog during most of the construction process (warning: it's been a while since the last update). You can find it at http://1133sc.wordpress.com

As well, shots of the exterior, are available at http://greenbottleworkshop.com/Projects.htm

Now, for answers to some of the questions...

@ck8g0: Our design and construction budget was $200K... with no substantial overages. Incidentally, the average house price in this neighborhood is $255K - $350K (out of our price range). During our search, we looked at several MCM houses throughout Birmingham that were at $200K or above and needed significant renovation.

@en_la_bici: The front entrance door is custom -- designed and built by the architects. The towel rack in the guest bedroom is Tom Dixon's Wire Coatrack purchased from Design Within Reach.

@medusa12120: The "black panel" over the baby's crib is a pivot panel that opens to the living room space below (it has a steel pin firmly locking it place for safety!).

@burnttoast: That's Will. One of the architects. And he's a popular guy.

@hanson and chaotic: The floor is Supreme Bamboo from Lumber Liquidators.

@CapitalDigs: Olympic SW6944, Interior/Latex/Eggshell. We took a Sherwin Williams swatch (Pool Blue) to Lowe's and had them match it. It's very close to Tiffany Blue.

@meganross1: They are indeed Birch Plywood.

@Arliz: The Love print and the two prints in the guest bathroom are Columbia Forest Products Alexander Girard PLYprints available at http://www.designpublic.com/

Thanks again!
