The homeowners of this expansive home wanted to create an informal year-round residence for their active family that reflected their love of the outdoors and time spent in ski and camping lodges. The result is a luxurious, yet understated, entry and living room area that exudes a feeling of warmth and relaxation. The dark wood floors, cabinets with natural wood grain, coffered ceilings, stone fireplace, and craftsman style staircase, offer the ambiance of a 19th century mountain lodge. This is combined with painted wainscoting and woodwork to brighten and modernize the space.
