Many of Bruce Rieke’s homes have a rustic or Prairie look, and The Prairie Stone is no exception. This home is about earth tones and comfortable yet high-end design. One of the ways the team is achieving this is through the inclusion of stone and wood. Bruce brought in pine logs from his field and is using them everywhere from a log mantel to hiding support posts in the lower level that will flank a wet bar. Each of the logs, like the one above, weighs 400 pounds, and is hand-hewn to give it a finished look.
As if this Coloradoesque home weren’t unique enough, Bruce wants it to have features that aren’t in every home on the block. The newel posts that lead to the lower level are a perfect example. We can’t wait to see what else will debut in this creative home! Stay tuned as we get closer to the tour…
