Shabby-chic style gray one-story exterior home idea in New York

This eclectic mountain home nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains showcases an unexpected but harmonious blend of design influences. The European-inspired architecture, featuring native stone, heavy timbers and a cedar shake roof, complement the rustic setting. Inside, details like tongue and groove cypress ceilings, plaster walls and reclaimed heart pine floors create a warm and inviting backdrop punctuated with modern rustic fixtures and vibrant splashes of color.

This close-up showcases LP SmartSide cedar shakes, trim and fascia. LP SmartSide cedar shakes provide the look of authentic cedar shakes but with much less maintenance. Rather than individual shakes, they come in four-foot lengths with both staggered and straight edges for design flexibility.

LP SmartSide cedar shakes can help you create a variety of looks. Here, they help create a rustic feel. LP SmartSide lap siding, trim and fascia are also featured on this home.

Designed by Interior Designer, A. Lantz Design, this Lake Charlevoix project was featured on the cover of Traditional Home magazine! Hop off the boat! The bar is open! A little apres (water) ski refreshment is being served! This back patio is located on the lower-level of the home and allows for the best indoor-outdoor entertaining space! These comfortable teak bar stools allow for comfort and casual conversations in swim suits. The windows easily open to allow conversations to pour in while waiting for another glass of Rose. We love the stone design in the bar and counter tops - a great mixture of warm and cool. You can't go wrong with a classic, nautical, navy and white cedar shake exterior. Oh, and the concrete tiles are heated for the cooler months. ;)
