Uniquely Theirs
A Family Getaway Stunner
8 • April 2014
Driving to the peak of the mountainside on the outskirts of snowy Deadwood, lies a home
overlooking the snow-topped woods and rolling land of the breath-taking Black Hills. The
sage colored home features reclaimed wood, pops of red reclaimed barn wood, light
colored wooden deck, and a tin roof which adds rustic flair and homage to the natural
surroundings. This parkitecture inspired home serves as a getaway from reality for this
bustling family and presents a blend of the owners’ ideas and the builder, Kevin Malon’s,
ability to create a unique home from years of experience and the fountain of creativity he
taps into for every building project he dives into.

This family home opens with large two inch thick alder wood double doors, handcrafted
from Montana with the strength of the west to withstand any harsh mountainside winter.
Upon walking in you are encompassed in a high ceiling and open floor plan constructed
with a light timber frame, which was built on site. The living room area, fireplace, and
kitchen space are all a blend of the soft gray painted walls, rusted tin, and patches of
the red reclaimed barn wood. The trim and windows of the home are whitewood pine,
accented by darker stain. Besides the gray tiles in the entrance way, the floor showcases
blue stained bug-wood, laid to create “little walkways” instead of creating butt joints with
the wood. This allows for a cleaner look and matches the technique used on the deck on
the front of the home which does not use butt joints, but clean cuts of wood instead.

The space is filled with unique handcrafted elements from both the owner and
Kevin, the builder, who meshed their ideas together to create a space that was
a perfect fit for this family and their style. The dining area boasts a
handmade dining table which the owner constructed from an
antique church stained glass window. Above towers
a black matte globe lighting fixture shining light
on the handmade wine rack, made of reclaimed
wood, a rusted hook, and rope. Another unique
feature between the dining area and the kitchen
space is an antique Coke machine, which still spits
out the occasional pop for this family on the go.

A kitchen island featuring the barn wood and bits of tin
resides in the center of the kitchen featuring black granite with
speckles of tan accents. Above hangs a handmade lighting unit,
which Kevin created from reclaimed wood, bulb-like antique glass, and
rope. The counter space uses a different granite, which is mostly tan with black
accents, but still compliments the home’s color scheme and the slick stainless steel
stove top, sink, and refrigerator. An important concept of the home for both the
owners and the builder, was to create a home which flowed while implementing

elements throughout to create harmony. To tie in
the reclaimed barn wood, originally from Sioux
City, Iowa, above the kitchen cabinetry, Kevin
incorporated the barn wood to create a
balance in the room.
Walking down the hallway, the home has
a mudroom area where children’s helmets,
shoes, and sports equipment are tucked away in
hand crafted shelving, which Kevin constructed
from reclaimed wood and leftover granite from the
kitchen space, little touches creating a living space with
balance. Further down the hall sliding dark wood doors roll
back to feature a bathroom with shower, handmade vanity with
accents of barn wood, and a bowl-like granite vessel sink beneath a
stainless steel waterfall-like spout. Next to the hallway bathroom another
sliding door reveals a tan painted guest bedroom, filled with bits of the owners’
creativity. A window casts light into the spare bedroom, where an antique wooden
toolbox is hung sideways on the wall with clothes hangers on the handle for a guest’s
clothes to be hung and the bed’s headboard was created from stalks of old fence
posts and reclaimed corrugated red metal.
Across the hall from the guest bedroom, the master bedroom slides into view behind
another sliding dark stained door. The master bedroom draws on the rustic look of
the home, and the bed rests upon a wall created entirely from the red barn wood

with built-in lanterns on both sides of the
bedside. The nearby window shines on
the grains of the wood showing the deep
intricacies of the grain and subtle strokes
of red throughout. A black double-headed
antique ceiling fan keeps the room cool
and heralds the antique touches the
owners love. Attached to the master
bedroom, the master bathroom has a
unique handmade shower encased in
corrugated silver metal with a gray, tan,
and cream pebble floor. The shower also
has built-in gray tile shelves for bathroom
amenities. Barn wood is beneath the sink
with granite used earlier in the home.
The owner used an old pipe attached to
reclaimed wood to create a one-of-a-kind
towel rack and above the white porcelain
toilet a vintage milk crate is attached to
the wall for another one-of-a-kind shelving
unit. An old fashioned white soaking tub
brings nostalgia to the room, while the thin
modern faucet which creates a waterfalllike flow into the tub, pinpoints the modern
luxuries this home has to offer.

The living area of the room surrounds
the original built 50 inch wood burning
fireplace. Moss rock from the Black Hills
creates the hearth and framework of the
fireplace. The timber wood mantel piece
is lined with eclectic antiques ranging in
bottles to vintage boxes and the stone
chimney is topped by rusted metal and
cut in a slope to recreate the feel of rustic
barn roof. In the corner of the living area,
a trap door opening to the basement was
created, so the family could use their rock
wall built from the basement that rises to
the upstairs living room. The furniture of
the living room balances with the colors
and mediums of the home, with dark
brown leathers, a brown and white spotted
cow hide area rug, and sanded down
pieces of telephone poles for end tables
shows the owners creativity and love of
upcycling items into new uses.
From the living room space guardrails
made of timber and galvanized mesh
lead up a stair case of light toned timber
where at the top a carpeted loft bedroom
looks out into the open space of the floor
plan below. In this area hidden closets
open from the walls for storage and an
antique bedroom set, with a matching
card table, create a comfortable space
to relax. Looking out from the loft is a
perfect view of the wooded area of the
surrounding mountainside and gives a

picture perfect presentation of the
inspiration of the rustic home, nestled in
the Black Hills.
Following soft neutral colored carpet
downstairs leads to an open play area
for the children and a place for adults to
relax and watch television. The basement
houses built-in shelving filled with toys,
a ping pong table, pool table, and an
arcade-like air hockey table. In the
corner of the room a plush sofa surrounds
a handmade corner shelf produced by
Kevin, with barn wood and displays a
television, perfect for family movie nights
or when the children’s friends come for
sleepovers. On the wall adjoining the
handcrafter shelf, the owner created
pallet art with the quote, “Wake up in
the morning, and put on love.” A simple
mantra and yet, another unique detail,
making this house a home.
Down the hall of the basement, the
children’s room presents six hand crafted
bunk beds built into the walls of the room.
The bunk beds are crafted two-toned
from reclaimed gray stained wood and
barn wood with soft touches of red hues.
Each bunk bed offers the perfect space
for the children, and even feature a small
triangular shelf in the corner, for lanterns
to rest for late night reading. Next to the
children’s room, a bathroom with sand-like
colored and textured tile creates a unique
touch to the downstairs area. Another
granite counter top with a bowl like sink
allows for easy clean ups for the children.
The owners and Kevin created a childproof towel rack from reclaimed wood
and giant blue hooks, to add a bit of
child-like zing to the bathroom space.
