Door to Inspiration | February 2009 | Log Home Design
 |
| The Eaveys' home, two stories plus an unfinished basement, fits right into its surroundings with its log and natural-stone-veneer exterior, topped by a forest-green shingle roof. |
|
|
 |
| The front door, crafted of knotty alder and glass panels with a wrought-iron grille, was the inspiration behind the home. |
 |
| Alan Eavey, who's a veterinarian, wanted an entry that would allow his clients to stop by to pick up medicines without having to enter the main house. Placing the entry on the far side of the floor plan, adjacent to the garage, accomplished that goal. The light-filled foyer includes a slate inset with a pebble-stone border that mimics the arc of the entry door. |
 |
| The Eaveys' intimate dining area is open to the living room and the kitchen and accesses the back deck overlooking the Thornapple River. |
 |
| Valerie took some inspiration from a friend's home when she designed her own kitchen. The kitchen features sleek GE Profile appliances, pecan cabinets with wavy-glass doors and Bordeaux granite countertops. The arched, walk-in pantry door at the back of the kitchen, along with the curved niche above the wall oven, echoes the shape of the front door. |
 |
| Perched on a sloped, wooded lot, the Eaveys' light-filled great room feels like a tree house. |
 |
| For her carpeting and decorative accents, Valerie drew upon the blues and greens of peacock feathers to highlight the warm tone of the master bedroom's log walls. The curtains are hung from sticks that Valerie collected from the property and spray-painted bronze. |
