Using decades of experience supervising custom home construction, the team locates the best lots in the most sought after communities, applies decades of client feedback on home design, and then works with a curated team of craftspeople to begin construction.

Pushing the Design Envelope Buchanan Construction

By Natasha Kubis Photography: Ryan Theede

Our homes embody how we live and what makes us happy.

When we create a space that meets our needs and expresses our character, we enrich our lives and make people feel instantly welcome in our homes. Designing an exceptional home requires reflection, creativity, and thoughtful choices. Having a talented team of professionals is one of the most efficient ways of creating a dream space that will be the backdrop of memories for you and your family.

14 Fine Homes|Spring 2022

Spring 2022 | Fine Homes 15

Heralded as “Asheville’s Premier Builder,” Buchanan Construction comprises a team of over 45 industry professionals with decades of experience in constructing custom homes, extensive scale renovations, and commercial projects and developments.

Their team boasts some of the most talented and creative minds in the industry, and have deep appreciation for opportunities to push the design envelope on behalf of their clients.

One of their latest achievements is a custom home, the Miscela, which boasts vast entertaining spaces. Their inspiration for this five-bedroom, 6.5 bathroom, 7,800 square foot beauty was to create a versatile space for larger families and for entertaining friends and loved ones. The bold and modern design serves as a perfect setting for both cozy, intimate gatherings, and larger parties.

Some of the most stunning of this home’s exceptional features include a marble, T-shaped kitchen island with marble “waterfall” 16 Fine Homes|Spring 2022

edging, as well as a floating metal staircase, a large movie theater, and a game room. There’s also a built-in fish tank, an in-ground pool and spa, a screened porch with fireplace and heated floors, and an “Owner’s Retreat” featuring two closets and a luxurious bathroom.

Open plan living has become the standard in contemporary home design—and for a good reason. Open plan design provides a generous space that allows all your guests to relax in a single home area without feeling crowded. Aside from adding to the spacious feeling of the home, it also means no one needs to miss out on the action. While magic is happening in the kitchen, the cooks can continue to mingle with their guests without ever losing the beat of the conversation. The open floor plan of the Miscela was uniquely designed with well placed walls that serve as room dividers, implying separation of distinctive spaces (like the Dining Room), without obstructing the breezy passthroughs, and light and airy feel of a traditional open floor plan.

The windows and doors are oversized to capture the natural light, and allow you to take in the views of the outdoor living space and the yard. It’s the perfect layout for entertaining guests indoors and outdoors, and the pool is the crowning art piece. The inground spa spills over into the pool, warming the temperature and making it perfect for pool parties. The fully equipped outdoor kitchen allows the homeowner to host outdoor gatherings with ease, while the nearby gas firepit provides a warm and cozy space to gather on cool evenings.

Another incredible feature of this home is the Owners Retreat, a wing of the home dedicated to solace and relaxation. The Owner’s bedroom is one of spacious proportions, with ample oversized windows and a vaulted, beamed ceiling complete with a gorgeous chandelier. Just down the hall, two roomy closets were designed with islands for additional storage and plentiful space for dressing.

The Owner’s Spa was intricately designed with a spacious shower, free standing tub, stunning sink vignettes, and two water closets.

Spring 2022 | Fine Homes 17

Just off the kitchen are 16-foot glass doors leading to a spacious screened porch with skylights, a wood-burning fireplace, and heated tile flooring. This screened area was positioned with care at the center of the main-level living space, providing central access to an indoor/outdoor living space where the family can gather, or groups can escape the larger gathering at parties for quiet conversations.

The Miscela is a homeowners dream, offering a beautiful bar, a game room with a pool table, and a pinball machine, among other classic games for guests and family. There is also an open movie theatre with a popcorn machine, surround sound, and reclining seats!

As a full-service Design + Build Firm, Buchanan Construction specializes in a highly collaborative process with quality, integrity,

18 Fine Homes|Spring 2022

and professionalism as the motivating values at the center of each decision and action throughout the project. The Buchanan Construction team considers each project an opportunity to work alongside clients to bring their vision to fruition.

Buchanan Construction understands that building a home is one of life’s greatest milestones. With this in mind, they consider it their responsibility to build homes not only “to code” but rather to their exceptional standards of excellence so that your home is an inviting and memorable backdrop for your family - and the memories you hold closest - for years to come. Buchanan Construction’s team works seamlessly alongside your collective, multi-dimensional design team – from landscape architects to engineers - to craft the ultimate vision of your home, and bring it to reality.

The Height of Excellence Bringing the Beach to the Mountains

Our modern world has a lot of background noise. Talli’s goal is to create spaces where her clients can get away from all that noise, and focus on making meals and memories with family and friends. Talli’s design firm, A+R Interior Design, provides a paired down, clean and uncluttered aesthetic as one part of that approach, while her team’s extensive experience in project management provides a streamlined execution.

Allard + Roberts Interior Design, Inc offers interior design and project management services for both new construction and remodel projects. Believing that the best designs are the result of a collaborative approach, they enjoy working alongside homeowners, builders & architects as part of a design team.

The A+R design team takes projects from conception through to completion, often providing project management services for clients who are building or remodeling from afar. They love taking the stress out of new construction or renovations so that their clients can enjoy the process and their fully customized completed homes!

This penthouse is located at the top of the highest building in downtown Asheville, and comes with incredible views. The location provides the convenience of walking to area shops and restaurants, making it the perfect vacation home. As Talli explains, “Our client came to us with a particular request for the look and feel of his interior. He wanted something unique and asked that his home “feel like the beach, but in the mountains”. He finds the soft blues and greens at the beach relaxing, which is how he wanted his vacation home to feel when he could get away from long work days to enjoy it.” The A+R design team saw those same tones in the landscape and mountain views, visible through the expansive walls of glass. So, his request and those views became the inspiration for a soothing color palette of soft grays, blues, aquas and natural wood tones, with touches of black accents. “We Spring 2022 | Fine Homes 27

were particular with our selections so that the interior palette was relaxing, without being distracting from the views beyond”, Talli adds.

“First, we refreshed the cabinetry with new finishes and hardware, and replaced the kitchen backsplash with spa toned hand-made tiles. The existing fireplace tiles were removed and it was re-clad in a concrete plaster finish by a local craftsman, and we had custom white oak shelving made for the fireplace wall and the kitchen. The lighting throughout was updated in a matte black finish for contrast, and furniture and decor were sourced for each room. The fabrics are Crypton, so that friends and family can enjoy the home when the homeowner is away, without worries of any damage to furniture. If coffee or wine are spilled, they can 28 Fine Homes | Spring 2022

be wiped up without absorbing into the materials. This approach to finish selections often puts our clients at ease, so that more of their friends, family and pets can be welcomed to enjoy the home, without concerns over maintenance of the fabrics and finishes.”

“Some features, such as the breakfast table, are custom made to our design by a local craftsman. A+R intentionally sourced the area rugs and furnishings through local and regional makers and suppliers, incorporating the aesthetic of Asheville and the surrounding Western North Carolina into the space. This also ensures that when our clients relocate or purchase vacation homes in the area, their resources are reinvested back into the local community of furniture makers, trades and craftspeople.

This is at the heart of what we do…helping to connect our clients

with the right team of professionals, artists and craftsmen to personalize their home, while simultaneously investing into their new community. We also managed the project and collaborated with the construction team, so that our client could focus on his own career, and was then able to come to Asheville to relax and enjoy his new home. We enjoy being able to invest our time, talent and expertise on behalf of our clients, with a focus on connecting them with their new community in Asheville and the surrounding WNC area.”

Home... Where Our Story Begins Creating an Environment as Unique as You Are

by Diane Leibinger “I recognize that home furnishings is not a store of needs – it’s a store of wants. Therefore, customer service is key in that if we can help people buy one thing that makes them feel special, we have succeeded.” Owner Peggy Yarborough, Yesterday’s Tree Furniture and Design.

Since opening her small boutique store 37 years ago featuring unfinished furniture, Yarborough has focused on her customer’s wants, wishes, and budget. After opening in 1985 she soon realized Asheville consumers were actually looking for something more- “they needed a place that thought of furniture differently; with an emphasis on sophistication, elegance and fashion”.

Yarborough listened and within a few years became the area’s leader in first quality designer furniture at affordable prices.

38 Fine Homes|Spring 2022

Yarborough and her team have evolved Yesterday’s Tree located on Hendersonville Road into a 8,000+ square feet store tastefully brimming with home furnishings and design that combines stylish, chic décor with great prices. According to Google it is known not only for eclectic, excellently crafted furniture, but also for a wide selection of eye-catching lighting, unique wall & window treatments, rugs, gifts and accessories along with a professional staff of in-house designers. The new downtown Asheville pocket store ‘Curated by Yesterday’s Tree` on 58 College St. also offers the latest styles and trends with “a little bit of downtown vibe.”

furnishings store. This tradition continues as her own family business now includes daughter Jayme, son Nick, daughter-in-law Courtney, along with an occasional check-in by her 98 year old father. A total of 11 employees “who are like family” work at the two locations.

Maggie and Sophie act as the store’s personal greeters and feelgood ambassadors. These well behaved, friendly 4-legged helpers are much loved and well known to customers. Various hounds have modeled in many of Yesterday’s Tree successful campaign ads (which in early days was highly unusual).

Yarborough and her team feel strongly that they are able to offer a consumer-friendly store where friendships are made and the customer is happy with their purchase. “We want you to feel at home while shopping within our store and we are always respectful.” Yarborough explained “to us, selling a blanket is just as important as selling a sofa.”

it’s my community where I’ve made new friends, it’s an emotional uplift when I step in the front door! Peggy, the owner, with her son Nick and his wife Courtney are super nice experts in design, fabrics, lighting, rugs and more. All of the sales folks are exceptionally qualified and helpful. I’ve been shopping here for years and more than half of my house is designed by the folks at Yesterday’s Tree! I look forward to my next visit!” – SC Yarborough and her team strive for transition, evolution over time versus a complete change of everything at once. The goal is to work with the furnishings you currently have and add to it tastefully. They also offer designer services with someone coming to your home for a consultation. They love to mix your things with what they have in the store. The styling is not ultra-modern, it has clear lines.

Below is only one of many customer reviews that sum up why Peggy’s business is so much more than a furniture store and a favorite to visit for creating one of a kind home space.

Another suggestion by Yarborough is “Focus Wisely on Quality – better to spend money on a couch/chair with high quality fabric.

We can help you find the right fabric for your lifestyle. Do not spend as much on a coffee table or end tables that can be more easily replaced in the future.” As she explained, “Better to buy the Ralph Lauren belt and wear it with the dress from Target.”

“Love, love, love this furniture store! It’s so much more than a furniture store—it’s my happy place when I just want to browse,

Stop in for a chat, pet the dogs and gather some inspiration to create a home that uniquely enhances how you & your family live.

Lexington Glassworks is excited to announce the expansion of our lighting services in 2022, culminating in the opening of the LGW Design Studio.

With this expansion comes a renovation.

We have decided to officially close the bar and event space and transform it into our Lighting Design Studio and secondary gallery. This expansion allows us to offer more comprehensive design services tailored to the client’s needs, including lighting design consulting, art styling, planning, and site visits for largescale lighting projects. Currently, Lexington Glassworks assists clients with the incorporation of custom hand-blown glass lighting into new construction, renovation, or the redesigning of an existing space. We work one-on-one with homeowners, designers, architects, and builders on both big and small lighting projects as well as wall installations and artistic styling of our hand-blown glass.

Open seven days a week, we invite you to watch the artists at work, as well as peruse the gallery for the perfect accent piece for your home, office, or a unique gift for a special occasion.

Housed in a 1940s warehouse in downtown Asheville, Lexington Glassworks is a glassblowing studio and gallery featuring one-ofa-kind hand blown glass pieces and custom lighting. Each piece is skillfully crafted using century-old techniques with the singular goal of creating top-notch work.
