FROM FOREST TO FRAME • Step inside the 3,644-square-foot home of one creative couple, whose journey to their hybrid timber frame is a case study in customization.

DESIGNING THE PERFECT KITCHEN GARDEN • Winter is the ideal time to think about the growing season ahead — particularly if you plan to stock your kitchen all summer long.

WELL STOCKED • Planning to dip your toe into the rural life? Be sure you know how to retrieve and store an adequate, reliable and safe water supply.

Creative KITCHENS AND Mind-Blowing BATHS

Spice It Up • IN THIS HOME, the phrase “If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen” takes on a new meaning. Walls washed in a bold cardinal-red milk paint with a dark rubbed-wax finish set the stage for a fearless scheme that spices up traditional farmhouse style and adds high-function features. A medley of metal finishes (like the custom copper island countertop by Bray Sheet Metal), bold patterns and striking color complete the look. Try these ingredients to cook up a similar design in your own space.

DINING OUT • Take cooking — and your home’s design — to the next level with these fresh outdoor kitchen finds.
