Kitchen

The kitchen is small but mighty. Vaulting the ceilings added additional space for taller cabinets and additional storage. The reclaimed wood beams addd a rustic wow factor. Concrete look countertops, textured white brick style tile with dark grout and two tone cabinets round out the space.

The kitchen is open to the dining and living rooms. The two panel dutch door allows cross flow of cool lake air through the home.

Vaulting the ceiling and adding a reclaimed wood beam adds drama and texture to a smallish bedroom and makes it feel larger and more open. Sconce lights replace lamps that would normally have to be on the bedside tables.

The wooden fan blades and reclaimed wood beam work together to warm up the masterbedroom.

Lake cottage owners bedroom. This space was very small so the decision was made to reconfigure three bedrooms into two, creating a good size owners bedroom. The original flooring was kept, with some piecing in where the wall used to be. This adds authentic charm to the space.
