“I spent tons of hours on the Internet looking at different things and picking out how I wanted everything.” When the Hubbs bought the home it was decorated in the traditional 1950s style and Bonnie wanted it all gone. “There really isn’t anything that was left unchanged except for a cabinet in the upstairs laundry room,” she said. Hubbs changed out all the windows in the home, but used all the window openings that were originally in place. “All of the windows were the kind with the white grilles blocking your view through,” she said. “I prefer to look through a window and not have those pieces blocking my view.” The open floor plan of the main floor allows Bonnie’s love of sleek lines to shine through. It also allows Bonnie to entertain a large crowd. “I have a large family and when we have holidays it’s not strange to have up to 50 people here,” she said. “And I definitely use this kitchen. Some people I know have the commercial grade kitchens and never, ever cook. I assure you, I use mine.” Keeping with the modern style, Bonnie used simple, clean lines and added unique touches throughout the house such as an art wall that greets visitors at the entrance of the home, unique faucets and fixtures and elegant lighting. “We used frosted glass sliding doors between the dining area and the den and on the main floor bathroom,” she said. “My husband was worried you’d be able to see through them but you can’t.” Bonnie also used floating cabinetry in all the bathrooms. “I just love the look of the floating cabinets,” she said. While Bonnie was designing her home, she said she spent hours looking at www.houzz.com, a home ideas Web site. “It’s an amazing site, instead of going to home shows or doing tours of homes you can tour hundreds of homes without even leaving your house,” she said. Bonnie said overall she is thrilled with how the home turned out. “We just really love living here and we’re so pleased with how it turned out,” she said. n By Tera Schmidt See more Living photos online at hervoiceonline.com HERVOICE MAY/JUNE 2014 v 13
