28 | Oregon Home Private and Sophisticated Primary Suite With an eye to the future, the clients wanted a primary suite of their dreams on the main floor, and Metke delivered. A cedar ceiling mirrors the one on the outdoor patio, as does a stoneclad fireplace. Elder consulted on furniture selection, as well as procuring and custom designing many of the unique pieces used throughout the home. In the primary suite, she selected a slatecolored velvet upholstered bed that complements the slate-blue tile in the adjacent bath, where Calcutta marble subtly ties it all together. Custom designed live-edge walnut nightstands add to the moody vibe, as does an adjacent private covered deck with a hot tub. Wood and Stone Create Continuity Leaning into the rural setting, the clients opted for natural materials and wood furniture, with an eye to sophistication and functionality. Both the primary suite and living room feature stone fireplaces, as well as wood beams and fireplace mantels in similar finishes, to connect those indoor spaces with each other and with the outdoor living space that makes use of the same materials. Instead of painted woodwork, the homeowners opted for stained doors and wide, stained alder baseboards, complemented by a palette of rich paint colors. Reclaimed maple shows up in the living room coffee table and console. “All of the pieces have a story that the homeowners connect to on a personal level,” says Elder. “It’s not fussy. There is a quiet elegance that comes from the uniqueness of the pieces and materials.” Elder’s eye ensured that the wide variety of tones and textures played well together. “Some tones are deeper and darker, some are in the middle. We specifically didn’t try to match everything,” says Metke. “I hope that’s a trend that continues.” By listening carefully, the team at Metke ensured that every element of the home, from the generous entertaining areas to the intimate retreats, reflected the homeowners’ needs and aesthetics and turned their dreams into reality. metkeremodeling.com
