Warm heart pine is used for the floors, beams, and fireplace mantel and "plays off the rougher character of the exterior," says Eric. The kitchen finishes take their cue from the exterior. "The cabinetry is stained, and the kitchen island's blue-green color is the same as the window sashes," says Rule.

It's hard to pick the best feature of this award-winning home, but Rule's observation is worth noting. "My favorite aspect of the house was the whole experience of creating it. We all contributed our ideas, but Eric went beyond what we imagined. The house surpasses all our dreams," she says.
