A Custom Carved Stone Tub

A custom tub you say? That’s what we do!

The Kelly’s tore down an old house and are using the foundation for a new custom home.

When the Kelly’s said they wanted to build their house around a custom stone tub, we had no idea what we were in for.

The Kelly’s travel to Bali quite often.  On one of their trips, they found this stone tub and had it shipped back to the States.  When they started making plans for building they specified that they would need special engineering for this tub.  With construction underway, the day came when we organized to have the tub put in.  Wow, is that the tub? 

The guys sizing it up.

The inside of the stone tub.


With the hole in the floor, the rock surround finished on the backside and the tile ready, we started securing the stone tub to the crane. Ready, lift!














The tub weighs how much???  6300 lbs.!  That was double what the plans were engineered for.
Hold up! 


As Erik called the engineer, the guys started to work on the trusses.

   










With adjusted specifications for added floor support, we were ready to go.

  

Up and away.  Almost there!



  

We did it!!



The Kelly’s were very relieved!

We are so excited about this project.  Not only did we have a great adventure getting this tub in, the Kelly’s have been so great to work with and have a lot of fun, unique ideas for this custom home.

Stay tuned for more updates and pictures.

Custom Home in Mountain Green




Front Entry
The Watkins home is finished!

This beautiful home, located in Mt. Green, belongs to the Watkins.  With beautiful timbers on the front entry, and double front doors, they can invite guests in style.
With a fresh blue sky in the background, a little landscaping will make this home spectacular.


Front Side























There is a nice panoramic view from the porch in the back of the house that walks out from the master bedroom.  Sounds like a lovely spot for a nice morning cup of tea.

Rear View




















Show me the bright side
We have found that the Watkins have picked some light fixtures that are exceptionally noteworthy.

A beautiful caged candle fixture welcomes you as you enter the home.  The hallway is bright with 6 lights all in a row, the stairs are lit from ceiling to floor and the spare bathroom light is warm and inviting.





















Unique and Fun lights in the Sitting Room













The bedroom lights are definitely one of a kind!  We love the variety and the personality that each one gives to the room.

A few of our favorite thingsWe love the big open entry into the living room.  The colors are bright and the accents really set this room.

The fireplace is very distinctive with the combination of wood panels and stone.
