The chance to build a lakeside weekend home in rural NC provided this Chapel Hill family with an opportunity to ditch convention and think outside the box. For instance, we traded the traditional boat dock with what's become known as the "party dock"… a floating lounge of sorts, complete with wet bar, TV, swimmer's platform, and plenty of spots for watching the water fun. Inside, we turned one bedroom into a gym with climbing wall - and dropped the idea of a dining room, in favor of a deep upholstered niche and shuffleboard table. Outdoor drapery helped blur the lines between indoor spaces and exterior porches filled with upholstery, swings, and places for lazy napping. And after the sun goes down....smores, anyone?

Nautical meets industrial with Globe Electric's Shilo 1-Light Pendant. A galvanized finish paired with exposed screw caps creates a wonderfully unfinished industrial look yet the exposed bulb and smooth to the touch design keeps this pendant in the nautical family. The included Globe Electric vintage Edison t-shaped bulb completes the look. Hang this pendant alone or pair it up for a cohesive style throughout your home. Perfect for a kitchen, living room, dining room, bedroom or rec room, the Shilo Pendant is extremely versatile and complements any décor. Includes all mounting hardware for quick and easy installation and one E26/medium base t-shape 60W bulb.

Blue closet and dressing room includes a vanity area, and storage for bags, hats, and shoes. Hanging hardware is lucite and brass.

Globe Electric's Westmore 4-Light Track Lighting is a clever way to add a modern industrial feel to any space. The brushed nickel finish complements the simplistic design to elevate this track light to a beautifully fashionable modern industrial piece that accents any décor. Each track head can be adjusted to point light wherever you need it most. The included halogen bulbs last for years so you don't have to worry about changing them very often. Each bulb is 50-watts and shines with a warm 2700-kelvin temperature so you have an appealing soft white light. Includes all mounting hardware for quick and easy installation and four 50-watt GU10 MR16 halogen bulbs.

The project is a single-family home designed to amplify the awareness of nature through the manipulation of key viewpoints. Photo credit: Ben Hill

To create an elegant, light-filled look, Suzanne painted the walls and cabinetry the same creamy white and then continued the less-is-more palette with white marble countertops, a white tile backsplash, and linen barstools. Suzanne worked with Matthew Quinn of Design Galleria to create new cabinetry while retaining the kitchen's original layout. "We strengthened the room's architectural envelope," she says. "Once that's in place, a room requires less decorating." Together, they designed Shaker-style cabinets topped with weighty molding and a handsome island with dining table-like legs.
