Cottage Open Plan Living Room and Dining Room
In this home remodel, designers widened the wall between the living room, the stairwell up from the lower level and the kitchen so that all areas would feel more unified and the chef would get to take part in the entertaining fun. A new cable-style railing for the stairs also keeps sightlines open.

Cottage Dining Room and Screened Porch
Originally, this dining room was blocked off from views of the lake by a wall with only two tiny windows. Reworking of the home's design opened up the dining room to a screened porch on one side and a new, improved, more scenic sunroom on the other. Let there be light and lake!
