Shingle Style Family Vacation Retreat House



Shingle style houses found in New England’s seaside resorts at the turn of the century inspired the design of this family vacation retreat. The house is overlooking a lake and is made of stone and wood cladding. Thanks to that and asymmetrical lines of its roof and walls blends naturally into the landscape. From a dramatic two-story dining room at its center, the plan curves gently toward the lake, affording light and panoramic views of the water to both wings of the home. As the exterior as the interior they both done with touches of luxury. In a playful touch, a blue light in the roof-top cupola has become a nighttime landmark for residents of the lake.

Beautiful in white

National Symphony Orchestra Showhouse

The modern walnut Parsons table, a trio of sleek steel pendant lights, and a pared-down tablescape are blended with grand wing chairs. "Balancing old things with new things gives a room great energy," says designer Michael Roberson.




White . . . minimalist, magical, or a little of both? The question remains if white qualifies as a real color or not. Some designers wouldn't think of creating a room sans pigment-laden appointments. Others use it as a foolproof mechanism for sophistication. In bedrooms, white and variations of it lead the way to a restful snooze. Dining rooms with white as their palettes sing in refinement and class. Teamed with black, and high-glass elements, the color reads glamorous and seductive. Warm white offers comfort. Feast your eyes on these colorless treats from showhouses across the country.

This gentleman's room commands attention with its two-tone paletteand tailored canopy that envelops the beds.





In soft impressionistic strokes, the painting above a settee and two chairs in the room's gathering area introduce the only note of color--a delicate lilac--in an otherwise tightly composed symphony of ivory and gray.




Cool elegance


The living room, featuring an ethereal palette,
is classically appointed with facing settees in front of the fireplace

Traditional style



Traditional style interiors are comforting and classic.

Upholstered furniture in a traditional room exhibits classic lines and understated details. It is functional, unfussy, and restful looking. Edges are soft, smooth, and blend into the whole.

Traditional style homes feel comfortable for any age group. It's a familiar look that you'd see in magazines or furniture show rooms. A traditional room is not a place to showcase a piece of modern art or stainless steel furniture.

Color in a traditional room is often in a mid-range of tones, though very dark and very light colors can also be used. Pretty multi-color florals are often the basis of a traditional color scheme that uses the lightest color on the walls and deeper hues for upholstery and flooring. Avoid neon brights and jarring combinations.

Accessories include pairs of lamps, urns, plants, mirrors, framed prints, china, vases, and collections of books. Pairs of objects are usually arranged in balanced symmetry.
