Walk in the door of this riverside home and you're immediately pulled to the wall of windows and the gorgeous river views! We knew we needed to ramp up the personality of the furnishings in the space to make the inside feel as welcoming as the outside! We worked with the homeowners to bring their aesthetic to life with comfortable custom seating and a dining room flexible enough to accommodate the largest holiday gatherings. On the main living room wall is an oversized painting of a blue heron - a bird that frequents this heavenly little spot on the river. We replaced an old patio door at the opposite end with a state-of-the-art three-piece sliding door that brought increased accessibility and even greater views to the outside living space. Custom lighting was added throughout to illuminate the space when the sun isn't streaming through skylights and wool carpet softens the living area.
