Holiday Home Tour 11th annual
  
|
By Pat Hill
Enhanced by things of the Earth, the Pine home reflects the character of owners Julia and Patrick Pine. Leather, stone, copper, wood and granite, the home is a harbor for the Pines’ collections and interests.
With mountain views, the home embraces Colorado’s beauty through a range of windows and decks along the front of the house.
Tree branches peek through high windows in the living room, while the built-in stone planter near the entryway adds a touch of nature to the décor.
With leather furniture, a moss rock fireplace and woven wood shades on the lower set of windows, the living room is subdued elegance accented by mountain ambience. Another point of interest is Patrick Pine’s copper collection displayed on a ledge around half the length of the perimeter.
With stones arranged in a geometric design, the rock fireplace, between the living and music rooms, is artistic masonry that contributes to the peaceful theme of the area.
Faux leather finish on the walls, along with a piano and two side-by-side chairs, portray a sense of peace and momentary refuge.
Hardwood floors separate the hallway, master bedroom, kitchen and dining area from the carpeted living and music rooms.
The master bathroom features travertine tile with glass inlays and a Jacuzzi hot tub.
Distinguished by black/brown/gold granite countertops, the kitchen features a granite arch over the range. The cabinets are knotty alder.
The dining room, with its stunning view of the mountain range, continues the Pines’ outdoor theme, emphasized by the log dining table and a sculptured bronze Native American in the alcove.
The second level highlights Julia Pine’s ancestry. A collection of memorabilia from Thomas Edison is displayed in the hallway.
“My great-grandfather worked for Thomas Edison from 1881-1884,” she said, adding that her great-grandparents were also social friends of the Edisons.
The historic theme continues in an upstairs guest room distinguished by the photograph of Julia Pine’s great-grandmother peering over what was once her bed, a magnificent piece of furniture with engraved and sculptured bedposts, known as pineapple carvings.
The lower level of the home is devoted to the Pines’ leisure, with workout, theater and game rooms.
The Pine home is filled with little decorating treats guaranteed to add color for the holiday home tourist — pebble, cork and black/white floors in three of the bathrooms.
“It’s a fun house,” said Julia Pine.
Other homes on the tour belong to: Janet and Frank Gundy, Candy and Loyd Mowery, Cheryl and Norm Steen, Georgiana and Gary Deppen, Jamie and Donald Peters, and Debbie and Matthew Upton.
Sounds of the Season Holiday Home Tour, with presenting sponsor the Pikes Peak Courier View, is a benefit for the nonprofit organization, the Pikes Peak Regional Medical Center Foundation.
