A San Marcos home where New Mexico meets Texas Hill Country style with a new outdoor kitchen and expanded owner’s bedroom and bathroom
Other than switching out some of the more modern light fixtures they found, the homeowners made few changes to the kitchen.SAN MARCOS — There was plenty that Vina and John Turner loved about the contemporary Hill Country house they bought here in early 2017: the layout, the kitchen, the wood-trimmed doors and the windows throughout.
They also wanted the interior to better reflect their backgrounds, meshing Vina’s upbringing in Las Cruces, N.M., with Dallas native John’s Texas roots. So they added Southwest-inspired furnishings, art and lighting fixtures, and repainted the blah, yellow-cream walls with a rich glaze in shades of beige.There was plenty that Vina and John Turner loved about the contemporary Hill Country house they bought in San Marcos in 2017. But there was also lots they wanted to do to make it their own.
The most complex part of the job, according to Harrell, was extending the owner's suite bedroom by 8 feet, adding about 170 square feet. This required demolishing the roof and replacing it with a 14-foot-high cathedral ceiling made of pine boards with cedar cross beams. The result is an airy, high-ceiling room that feels larger than it is.
“It’s beautiful at night, looking out at the stars,” Turner said. “John loves to sit on the balcony smoking a cigar and making business calls.”
