The new master bedroom features a soothing cedar green (Benjamin Moore Cedar Path 454) on the walls, with faux fur accents and pillows by Coral & Tusk.

Walnut custom cabinetry and copper accents provide rich warmth in the kitchen. The quartz countertops and backsplash have a subtle copper fleck that ties it all together.

The new dining room, kitchen and family room integrate seamlessly with the existing living room to create a great room space in what was a series of small, poorly designed spaces. A sliding wall of windows allows true indoor/outdoor living.

Like many of you, my family has been holed up for the past MILLION days. Seriously, what we are dealing with right now is not easy. Concern for our older loved ones, having kids at home all day, financial worries — not being able to buy toilet paper! Our world is in a really weird place.

I recognize how fortunate I am to be able to work from home. I have lists of things that need to be done — both professional and personal stuff. One of the items at the top of my list: start a blog. It seems like this time of social distancing is as good a time as any, right? My blog can be found at www.yancyinteriors.com/blog.

One of the main reasons I have started blogging is to be able to share my interior design projects on a more personal, and extensive, level.

This project — which I am calling A Whole New View — was a very personal project for me. The owner, a long-time friend, and I started discussing it five or six years ago. This client is a very dear person who has seen way more than his share of rough times over the past several years. Unfortunately, his bad luck continued through the renovation — including a freaking HOUSE FIRE that set us back several months.

The house sits on a lot with an astonishing view that encompasses the town below, as well as mountains galore. When we embarked on the project, we knew that we needed to take better advantage of the glorious, four-season view.

I am so relieved that I was able to get my photographer (the uber-talented Megan Baumeister @m_baumeister) in to shoot this project before this very necessary social distancing.

The contractor was Andy Cowan with Tundra General Contractors.

Cabinetry/casework work was by Arrowhead Custom Cabinets's Isaac Augedahl.

Tile installation was completed by Vision Stone and Tile's Nathan Merrill.
