Breezy Living

There's no better place to relax in the summertime than on a screen porch. This outdoor room features a soothing blue-gray color scheme as well as wicker furniture stuffed with plush pillows. A pair of oars and an oversize animal painting exude a weathered look thanks to their aged patinas.

Free Spirit

Cool blues and nautical themes imbue this living room with lakefront authenticity. The coffee table is made from anchors, while the royal blue rug repeats the watery motif. Old beams frame the doorway, and ebony window trim frames the outdoor views.

Rustic Blend

Pale blues and greens thread throughout this informal country-cabin eating area. The hushed palette, as well as pattern-free fabrics on seating, allows individual elements to emerge, including a 1700s lantern, rich farm-style table, and an antique cupboard bearing its original paint.

Garden Gathering

This screen porch sounds as charming as it looks with a new tin roof that captures every pitter-patter of rain. A collection of mix-and-match bistro chairs provides plenty of seating around the rustic wood table. A candelabrum chandelier, paper lanterns, and leaf ceiling fan set the mood from dawn through dusk.

Modern Mix

A gorgeous stone hearth and natural textiles make this humble den the perfect place to relax after dinner. A large mirror over the mantel reflects light and helps the room feel larger. New oak hardwood floors unite the open floor plan with the surrounding rooms.

Practical Style

Creating a cabin-inspired look doesn't have to be cutesy nor contrived. Stray from the norm with a coat of deep blue-gray paint that hides scuffs and dirt in high-traffic areas. This mudroom further incorporates functionality with a groutless tile floor, built-in storage bench, and plenty of coat hooks.

Carefree Attitude

Painted shiplap walls stay true to the architecture of old lake cottages. Combine them with reclaimed barn beams and hardwood floors stained the color of driftwood for a casual cabin atmosphere. A peaceful, easy feeling extends to this dining room's blue-and-white palette and fun, nautical-style lighting.

Summertime Dreams

A screened porch with gentle blue painted floors offers a relaxing haven for warm summer days. Hudson Bay blanket-covered cushions give new life to a wicker rocker. Badminton rackets serve as decoration above a weathered hutch stuffed with books and board games. (The rackets can be removed for play!)
