This grand home feels wonderfully welcoming with its stone exterior accented by a dark gray roof and shutters. A path up to the front door winds it way through the lawn. Or catch up on the cozy front porch.

For a pretty touch of color in this inviting living room, designers gave a light blue backdrop to the built-in shelving. The sofas bring the shade out into the room.

The vast height of this living room's ceiling is emphasized with heavy exposed wood beams. They continue all the way out to the adjacent screened porch.

Over the fireplace, a rustic wood mantel nods to this living room's exposed wood beams and is a friendly textured note amidst many more delicate elements.
