Feature Home: Elegant and contemporary on the lake

Here's a treat for you today. This gorgeous home was featured on New England Home and I thought it was too gorgeous not to share again.
 
 
 
This home is everything I think a good vacation home should be; bright and airy with lots of natural light, family friendly, relaxed and comfortable yet still stylish. 
 
 
 
The sisal rug might be an obvious choice in a lakeside home, but it is perfect, don't you think? The kelly green and blue accents is a preppy colour scheme that screams holiday time.
 
 
Traditional architectural elements such a tongue and groove (or beadboard) walls have been mixed with contemporary furniture to create a home that feels stylish without being too trendy.
 
 
 
The kitchen looks like a dream family kitchen with lots of storage and a big breakfast bar. Personally though, I'm in love with this navy velvet loveseat (below); a sophisticated piece which feels much more casual and vacation friendly when paired with the cheerful patchwork rug.
 
 
 
This neutral office should provide great inspiration to anyone trying to design a shared office space, and I'm sure that desk could be easily DIYed with some Ikea cabinetry and a benchtop. Any takers?
 
 
 
The master bedroom has a more serene feel with grasscloth wallpaper and soft shades of blue and green. The streamlined metal bed is a gorgeous contrast against the more traditional and rustic elements of the home.
 
 
The girls share a bunk room in a cheerful space featuring aqua, orange and red. How great are those sea creature photographs as well?
 
 
 
Any favourites for you? I think my favourite space might be those denim covered wing chairs with the gloss white modern coffee table.
