Welcoming for Guests
In the sitting room, which can function as a guestroom, an upholstered daybed draws visitors into its cozy confines. To the left of the daybed sits a writing desk with antique character.

A green theme is carried throughout the room's trim and walls and in its mix of plaid and striped fabrics. Built-ins along one wall provide additional seating and storage. The cabinets on either side of the window seat can house a television or stereo equipment. Drawers beneath offer space for guests' clothing.

Double-Duty Seating This multifunctional piece is a sofa by day and a guest bed by night. The sides of the bed are hinged to fold back, so it is easy to change the sheets. A monogrammed accent adds graphic punch to the simple upholstery fabric.

In addition, French doors lead to the covered porch. Enhanced by an outdoor fireplace, visitors can relax out here even on a wintry day.

Covered Porch Exterior Accessories A mantel above the outdoor fireplace is dressed up with antique tiles that are affixed to reclaimed window sashes. These sturdy materials stand up to the elements without sacrificing elegance.

Rest Easy
In the master bedroom, soft materials and soothing hues create a serene scheme. It's a room where the colors, furniture, and accents create a special place for sleeping or simply relaxing. At the room's center, a king-size, four-poster bed forms a classic focal point. Plaid silk bedding repeats the soft blue and silver found throughout the room. Two armchairs supply the perfect spot for reading.

Master Bath High-Style Shower The master bath's walk-in shower stands between the two vanities and is accessible through large glass doors on both sides. Earthy taupe tiles line the shower. A rectangle of stones framed by tile molding adds an extra detail to the solid taupe tiles. A high window allows in plenty of natural light.
