BUILT-INS: Crystal Con tracting built a window seat in a bay window to anchor the round table in the dinette and add storage. “It provides an ergonomic way to sit,” Erks says. The china cabinet in the formal dining area was constructed of freshly painted white cabinets removed from the kitchen to make way for new Wolff Bros. cabinets. KENNEL: An integral ken nel for the Gottos’ bulldog, Daisy, was constructed near the dinette and was painted white and outfitted with black hardware for a modern farmhouse look. “[Rachel] wanted it to match the decor,” Nicholas explains. After Daisy died, it was overtaken by Bow, a pit bull, and Arrow, an American bully, and the Got tos are adding another kennel. TECH: Nicholas installed a Lutron smart electrical system. The Gottos can control everything — lighting, audio, security, closed-circuit TV systems — from an iPad recessed in the wall. He cre ates lighting scenes that can be implemented, like a party scene that brings kitchen lighting, including cylindri cal glass pendants over the island, to 75 percent bright ness but dims everything else, including under-cabinet and toe-kick lights, to 50 percent brightness. “The capabilities are endless,” he says.
