Nils Finne designer recently completed renovation of a farmhouse with a contemporary style. The house is located in Fall City, Washington on a hillside overlooking the Snoqualmie River valley, about 30 miles east of Seattle. Renovation of this house on the main floor includes a wall between the kitchen and dining room have been removed, and 25-ft. The resulting interior has a feeling similar to a fire look-out tower in the national forest. Adding to the open feeling, a custom island table was created using reclaimed elm planks and a blackened steel base, with inlaid limestone around the sink area. The completed kitchen-dining space is serene, light-filled and dominated by the sweeping view of the Snoqualmie Valley.

The second part of the renovation focused on the master bathroom. Similar to the design approach in the kitchen, a new addition created a continuous glass wall, with wonderful views of the valley. The blackened steel-frame vanity mirrors were custom-designed, and they hang suspended in front of the window wall. LED lighting has been integrated into the steel frames. The tub is perched in front of floor-to-ceiling glass, next to a curvilinear custom bench in Sapele wood and steel. Limestone counters and floors provide material continuity in the space.
