They approached locally based Northworks Architects and Studio Gild design firm to create a modern and dramatic home fit for their family to grow in.

HOW PLANTS IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH ( #446)

WHAT IF . . . adding a little green to your space could reduce fatigue?

RESEARCH SAYS: I am notorious for my black thumb. Fortunately for me, my wife has a green thumb. She loves plants of any
kind and has them displayed all over our house. It turns out that plants are good for more than decoration. Indoor plants
reduce symptoms of fatigue, headache, cough, and dry skin. Plant-filled rooms contain up to 60% fewer airborne molds and
bacteria than rooms without plants. Researchers have also noticed that plants make people more contemplative and self-
reflective, remind people of passing of time, and bring people closer to nature. All that in a plant!

TRY THIS: Take advantage of the benefits of indoor plants. Buy at least one new plant and display it indoors where you can
see it often.

I always talk about blending rustic + refined in Arizona INTERIORS. Here is an example of client's reclaimed, aged "chestnut wood" used on an arched opening from home entryway to hallway.

You can see the contrast of the MAHARAM silk look wall covering juxtaposed to the rustic wood going up on the archway. Those round AZ home drywall corners are weird but, all in all the end result fits the client's rustic & refined taste.

Detailing by me. Jake McBride of McBride Paint and Wall covering did the actual excellent professional finish carpentry work. Big Thanks to client for his idea and great wood & to Jake for his carpentry skills.

When it comes to "value" I think this still says it all!
