2009 Johannes Parade Home!

Stunning and practical all in one home!

That’s right! This is a DON’T MISS house when touring the Iowa Parade of Homes this year!

The custom home is built by Casey Johannes is located in Swisher, Iowa.

 Nothing else quite says welcome like an 8 foot mahogany front door and this one is an absolute work of art.

 

 

 

 

 There are some unique architectural features and details here that you won’t find in other houses, such as a wine refrigerator just out of the camera’s view.  Look at the combination wood and tile floor in the kitchen and dinette.

Hand scraped, five inch, walnut planks are used in the Entry and Hallway.

 In the Kitchen an artistic treatment was then implemented by using the wood planks as a picture frame to surround the 20 x20  tiles. Casey Johannes estimated that it took him 60 hours to do the installation. What a labor of love!

Note the backsplash as it repeats the pattern on diagonal of the tile and wood.

 

 The Great Room acts as a hub for entertainment as it opens up to the Dinette and Kitchen spaces.

Stacie Reid, Phelan’s interior designer, partnered with the Johannes team on floor plans, furnishings, and accessorizing the house.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

 

Here are 2 shots of the unusally spacious, work – at – Home Office which is located on the second floor. There is also a Bonus Room upstairs, which is one of Stacie’s favorite spaces!

I don’t want to spoil all the surprises that are found throughout this home – but I am compelled to talk about one more well designed feature. It’s in the Master . . . No, on second thought, I want you to visit this house and see it for yourself!

 

The space planning, the added artistic elements, and the consideration of family day-to-day living, are brought together under one roof in this well executed home.
