White walls and neutral furnishings remake this beautiful home into a light-filled lakeside retreat. The family room portion of the open-concept living area was arranged to make the most of the view of the water through the open wall.

A pair of white occasional chairs accompany a linen sofa and fawn leather wingback chair as a relaxing gathering spot for fire-warming, lake-contemplation and TV-viewing in the family area. The light walls throughout this lovely home are punctuated with colorful original art, lending a splash of energy to the overall calm.

With an open layout shared between the kitchen, dining and family rooms, the light seamlessly flows. A delicately limewashed brick fireplace attends a neutral living space with pale gray walls and a built-in cabinet to accommodate both television and decorative objects. White crown molding and baseboard provide a gentle contrast to the gray.

A fawn leather armchair and gray linen sectional provide casual and attractive seating for the open-concept family room in this lakeside retreat. A gently limewashed brick fireplace with floating wood mantle marries nicely with the light wood furnishings and floor.
