Cape Cod House
http://boehmarchitecture.com

This environmentally sustainable second home draws upon local vernacular architecture of Cape Cod houses and the casual beach shack, while retaining vestiges of the previous house. It is composed of three volumes: bedroom wing, indoor living space, and outdoor living area. The windswept landscape, spectacular views, and fragile ecosystem informed careful placement and configuration of the house with its multiple outdoor living areas.

The colors and materials are beautiful- what color is the pale green on the walls and what color is the white on the trim and built ins? Thank you. »

The Shabby Nest Try Valspar's Maine Shore for a similar green, and try Snowcap White for a similar white.

Nice way to fit both a fireplace and a staircase in a small living room
added by Gracie Pfingston to Down by the Fire (4 weeks ago)
Now this is very cozy and well put together. This would work well for those who have a small amount of space alloted for a living room, yet still want to fit a fireplace in amongst everything.
