Rattlesnake Remodel

This a remodel that we just finished in the Rattlesnake in Missoula, MT.

Before the remodel, the living room and kitchen were too crowded. So, to start, we created more of an open floor plan by tearing out several walls.

We then placed 8x8 posts in visually pleasing spots to provide structure and a feeling of some mass. The 8x8 posts were fashioned from coastal Douglas-fir. We built the new cabinets out of quarter-sawn white oak and the counter tops out of hard maple. The floor is hickory and provides nice visual contrast.

Most often we build custom doors for our projects. This time, the budget didn't allow for that, so we ordered all new solid Douglas-fir doors to replace the existing ones. We also installed all new trim (V.G. larch).

In the end, the kitchen and living area were transformed completely; an open floor plan makes for great living and provides a wonderful space for entertaining.
