Sarah Richardson Builds an Off-the-Grid Home for Her Family

Sarah's most amibitious build yet was a team effort that included her husband Alex Younger and their daughters Robin and Fiona.

The completed main floor foyer is open and airy, with steps leading down into the basement and media room.

The kitchen is part of the open concept that Sarah calls the "Great Hall." From the kitchen island, Sarah can see through the kitchen into the dining room and living room.

The kitchen also includes a natural gas range stove and contemporary cabinet storage throughout, plus a bay window with a breakfast banquette that seats six.

Just off of the main entryway is the dining room, which sits at the center of the "Great Hall," featuring a large table that seats fourteen. The French doors open up to a covered porch.

Located on the main floor, the living room includes a gorgeous marble stoned fireplace and plush seating for friends and family.

The sunroom, just off of the living room and dining room area, offers additional seating and lots of natural light, thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows.

The earthy white, cornflower blues and warm brown color palette continues in the laundry room and office. Nice touch, Sarah!

We love the white walls and blue-accented doors throughout the hallway to the mudroom.

(Hi, Daisy!)

A new home build essential: mudroom with direct access to the outside. It's a perfect place for dirty rain boots and wet coats.

The second floor holds all of the bedrooms. First up: Robin's Bedroom which continues the color scheme from the first floor mudroom with lots of white, blue and rustic wood accents.

A gorgeous white bathroom with a large soaker tub.

Fiona's bedroom has beautiful light green walls, a baby blue bed, and amazing views of rolling green hills.

The light green continues through to the bathoom.

Sarah and Alex's master bedroom is a combination of whites, grays and rustic wood accents. Beautiful floor to ceiling windows bring in an incredible amount of light. And the views of the countryside are spectacular.

The master bathroom is complete with double vanities and a soaker tub.
