Holiday House Tour: Simple Traditions
Old-fashioned styling [1]
Back stairs leading up to the sewing room show old-fashioned architectural styling from a simple newel post and porch-style railing.
Cozy scale [4]
Low paneled ceilings give a cozy scale to the 28-foot-long living room.
Lodge feel [7]
The home's design and surroundings create the sense of visiting a park lodge. The owners wanted the home to look like it might have been moved from the nearby community of cottages built from the 1980s to the 1920s.
Inventive island [10]
An old table used as a kitchen island is the perfect height for rolling out pies and batches of Christmas cookies.
Woodsy dining [13]
Family meals around the antique sawbuck table are set aglow by a moose antler chandelier from a second-hand store.
Cupboard collections [16]
A white pottery collection and plenty of firewood for wintry nights fit snugly into an antique cupboard.
Upstairs nooks [19]
Cozy nooks abound in upstairs rooms thanks to dormers along the roof.
Master bedroom [22]
The master suite's bedside table is "the only new piece of wood furniture I ever bought besides the dining room chairs," says the homeowner.
Bright sewing room [25]
Ten windows brighten the sewing room, where sunlight bounces off white walls, sloped ceilings and a hand-painted floor.
