The Beins’ house is bold from the start with a dark blue exterior and bright orange door. Lodge-like furnishings in the living room accent the large stone fireplace, high natural wood beamed ceilings, and wall of windows.
“Our surrounding truly helped us mold into the style we have adapted to this house,” Tammy said. “We are constantly being inspired by some random wood or metal we find. I think it really shows in our home.” When first entering the house, high, vaulted natural wood panel ceilings juxtapose concrete thermal-mass floor. It’s a mix of Tammy’s mid-century modern style with a lot of Justin’s Colorado cabin feel. Second-hand, vintage, Western paintings from old steakhouse restaurants that Justin found at Habitat for Humanity ReStore hang on the wall. A floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace brings out more of the natural, mountainy atmosphere with its mantel covered in Justin’s hand-made birdhouses and wooden trinkets. A bit of a modern style shines through in the kitchen with dark gray concrete countertops edged with steel and more dark steel chandeliers made from lights Tammy found lying around her old job’s storage room.
