I call this one a
Modern Moutain Home
This is a very unique home of some long time friends of mine, nestled in some 30 plus acres of wooded hill country.  I've done a lot of work on this one: the interior trim, the flooring, the ceiling, the bar, the stairs and some other work that I don't have pictures of.  This is one cabin style home that is pure pleasure to see! 
(Hold pointer over each picture for additional info.)
The top of this bar is hardwood flooring in herringbone pattern (like the front)
This one-of-a-kind floor is of mixed hardwoods.  Beautiful!  The bar front & sides are made of popular. These are the homeowner's ideas (I did help  design the bar).
I stood on this hearth to get a picture of the stairs, which are on the left by the window.
This beautiful lady in the picture is my darling wife!
I enjoyed laying this hearth. I also installed the woodburner.  Makes you want to just pull up a chair and settle in with a good book doesn't it!
(Notice the flooring.)		 This is a view of the knotty pine ceiling from beside the bar (before the woodburner was installed).
I couldn't figure out how to turn the picture so you'll have to tilt your head (or your monitor) ;-)
Notice the slant of each riser (where you toes would hit)
These handrails are 6 inch pine fence posts!  Another homeowner idea that helps give this home that "mountain" identity.  (While it looks simplistic, this is one of the most difficult handrails I have ever installed!)
This is the view from the hearth.  The landing flooring is laid diagonally.  The treads (steps) are maple, the risers are knotty pine.
There is so much more to this cozy little Modern Mountain Home that will make one want to see it in person.  Sorry, I can't tell you where it is, but someday it may just wind up in Country magazine.  Then the secret will be out!
