Two homes in Horseshoe
Bend showcase the custom
details of Southern Luxury
Homes, a design-build firm that
prides itself on working with homeowners
to reflect their personalities.
Owner Kevin Aycock says he and
his team of architects and interior
designers aim to create a true
custom home for each customer and
often, it comes down to the details –
namely ceiling details.
“It’s fun to do bunk rooms and wet
that, but I really love doing ceiling
details,” says Aycock. “I think people
waste ceilings and don’t put enough
emphasis on them. It’s a great spot
where you can get creative do some
really cool things and too many
people just leave them plain.”
In both homes on tour, all main
living spaces feature some kind of
wood detail, drawing the eye to the
barreled tongue and groove ceilings
within raised trays, vaulted great
rooms with exposed beams and
reclaimed wood ceilings.
“Every major living space has some
type of ceiling detail,” says Aycock.
