Family Room
The family room occupies a large, centrally located space with a vaulted ceiling. Red, green, and gold create a warm color scheme that's animated by plaids and a novelty print fabric with a canine theme. A sofa and three chairs provide flexible seating arrangements. The oversize ottoman, covered in a rug fragment, serves as a coffee table. For the floor, designer Mary Solomon chose a sea grass rug with black cotton binding. The raised stone hearth and mantel, together with an engaging dog portrait, provide a handsome focal point that is in keeping with the room's scale.
Above the family room, exposed dormers add natural light. You also can see through large windows in adjoining areas to both the front garden and the pool at the rear. Architect David Kenoyer says, "We maximized light in this room by allowing it to be more of a connector between the other spaces. It's the heart of the house."
