8. Business as Unusual

This Tennessee timber home features uniquely bold design throughout, including the home office. The homeowner, Kristie, ditched the cookie-cutter home office look for a jaw-dropping space coated in black with whimsical elements, like the sailing-ship crystal light fixture. “It was the first purchase we made, even before we started building. It set the tone for the house and was our guiding ship, literally,” says Kristie.
