Berkshire Estate: Family Room + Patio

Outdoor patios of yesteryear use to be the last space to be designed in a home.  Most people would buy a matching patio set (usually made of wrought iron), add an outdoor umbrella and call it good.

Today's patios are more like outdoor family spaces, with soft weather resistant fabrics,

 pillows, sofas, end tables, etc.  Take a look at the

BERKSHIRE'S FAMILY ROOM + PATIO,

and how similar the indoor/outdoor spaces are!

The fire pit was custom built by the same concrete company that made all the counter tops.  

You can also buy similar fire pits at Restoration Hardware. 

Recognize the brick on the fireplace? It's the same brick we used on the exterior.  Using the brick was a great way to add a sense of age to the newly built space as well as consistency to the home. 

We needed a  16x16 rug in the family room, so Flor tile came to our rescue again! 

Tomorrow we'll wrap up the remaining spaces, including the guest suite, 

the 2nd kitchen and family room, and a couple more bathrooms.

Whew! Almost done with the Berkshire Estate, then on to Canyon Crest!
