Craftsman Style Makes a Come-Back!


Craftsman style is making a big come-back throughout the U.S., and even our Sierra area sees hints and influences of it in remodels and new builds.  With the popularity of a Mountain Contemporary element in design, Craftsman design is favored in many of our new construction homes, both custom and spec. Here are a few examples of Craftsman design, from different eras. The first set of pictures is an excellent example of a home remodel in Incline Village, where the customer wanted that Craftsman look in his oak cabinetry.  The era is different from our contemporary look, but the style is undeniably Craftsman. Below that set is another example of a more mountain contemporary craftsman edge, where the designer chose solid beam detail over the ornate trim and crown molding which used to be so prevalent.  Whatever your style is, Craftsman design can usually be imbedded in your final product, and is sure to stand the test of time!
