Read More1st River Cottage Is Sold in Springfield
Evan Coghill’s popular Homearama Charlotte plan, the River Cottage, has been sold in Springfield for the first time. The buyers commented how they fell in love with the plan when they saw it at Homearama in October and knew it was the right plan for them. We were able to make a few adjustments the plan to so it would suit their needs better. 1) The library on the main level was converted to a guest bedroom for a visiting mother-in-law. 2) The game room on the upper level was expanded by three feet to accommodate heirloom furniture. 3) A three car garage was added in lieu of the two car...

Read MoreVoted “Best Outdoor Living Space” in Homearama 2011
Gray Houghland, architect of Evans Coghill’s Homearama home, shares an interesting observation on how the introduction of central air conditioning has changed home plans. When it was introduced into homes in the 1970s, porches were reduced to unimportant or unusable spaces. On some homes, front and back porches, unfortunately, almost disappeared. Porches always have been the transition area for a home from the inside to the outside. Porches need to create a link to the outdoor living space. Evans Coghill’s Homearama home has reintroduced front and back porches as a key...
Read MoreVoted “Best Kitchen” Homearama Charlotte 2011
Homearama Charlotte features 5 great homes with 5 great kitchens, but the judges have spoken and said Evans Coghill’s kitchen is THE BEST KITCHEN in the show. At the show yesterday, everyone agreed with the judges. Some thought is was because of the location of the kitchen in home. (It flows very well with the adjacent family room). Some believe it was the creative use of the cabinet color constrasted against a darket color on the island. (The cabinets are “celedon” which is a beautiful sage green.) Some thought is was the understated backsplash or the very...
Read MoreA Shower and a Cooktop – An Unscripted Look at Them
What does a shower and cooktop have in common? Both are very unique features of our Homearama 2011 home and Chris Folk takes an unscripted look at both of them here. It is a cooktop like you have never seen before and a shower like you will never want to get out of. A Really Unique Cooktop that Boils Water in Seconds The cooktop is amazing. It cooks using electromagnetic waves not direct heat. Boils water incredibly fast but the surface of the cooktop does not heat up. Watch when Chris boils the water, puts his hand on the burner and does not get burned. Great feature because spilled food...
