Everyone remembers a gathering that spilled outside — the adults claimed the porch, the kids ran the yard, and somehow the whole thing lasted until dark without anyone planning it that way. The Cedarshutter is built around exactly that: a covered outdoor living area wide enough to hold the whole table, an open main living space that flows straight through, and a kitchen that keeps the cook in the conversation.
Specifications
- Sq. Ft.: 1,376
- Bedrooms: 3
- Bathrooms: 2
Floor Plan – Main Floor
Three bedrooms anchor the left side, with the vaulted great room and dining area flowing into an open kitchen. The master suite sits privately off the right, away from the household noise. Out front and out back, the covered porch and outdoor living area add serious gathering space to a footprint that doesn’t waste a square foot.
Covered Porch Built for Grillers, Morning Coffee, and Everyone In Between
Wooden posts anchor the covered patio without fencing it in, so sightlines stay open to the yard. A gas grill sits tucked to one side, close enough to the dining table to be genuinely practical rather than decorative, and Adirondack chairs pull the seating area toward the lawn for the people who’d rather watch the kids than stand near the food. Board-and-batten siding in white reads crisp against the dark shingle roof. It’s a straightforward exterior — no tricks, just good bones.
Buffalo Check Pillows, Jute Rugs, and a Chandelier That Actually Fits the Room
A rope-wrapped wagon wheel chandelier anchors the vaulted ceiling without fighting the scale of the room — which, given how often oversized light fixtures get crammed into spaces they overwhelm, is worth pointing out. The slipcovered sofa keeps things deliberately casual. Open shelving on the left holds baskets and ceramics, and the barn door panels on the TV console pull the whole wall together without making it feel like a mood board.
Gathered Around the Table, With the Kitchen Still in the Conversation
Crossback chairs, a jute rug, and lantern pendants do a lot of the heavy lifting here. The kitchen island’s warm wood base stops the space from reading as cold or all-white, which is a real risk in open-plan kitchens with light cabinetry.
- Black-framed sliding doors pull the backyard into view without any visual clutter
- The pendant mix — dome over the table, lantern cages over the island — ties the two zones together
- Bar stools with woven seats echo the rug texture underfoot
Black Lantern Pendants and a Wood Island Base That Earn Their Keep
Woven barstools pull up to a thick white quartz island, while matte black hardware ties the cabinetry to the pendant lights overhead. Nothing here is trying too hard, which is exactly what makes it work.
By The Numbers: White shaker cabinets with matte black hardware are one of the most searched kitchen combinations in home design right now. The contrast reads as intentional without requiring colorful accents or bold countertop choices. Add warm wood tones — like this island base — and the kitchen stops feeling sterile.
Sage Green Nightstands and Terracotta Curtains That Actually Belong Together
Sage green furniture is doing a lot of work in this room, and it earns it. The matching nightstands — brass pulls, open shelving — connect directly to the dresser on the right, so the color reads as a deliberate choice rather than a lucky accident. That terracotta bed runner picks up the curtain color without being precious about it, and the natural wood headboard keeps everything from drifting too soft.
Fun Fact: Sage green became one of the most searched furniture colors in recent years, partly because it pairs with so many warm neutrals without competing with them. Interior designers often call it a “bridge color” — it connects cool whites and warm wood tones without pulling the room firmly in either direction, which makes it unusually forgiving to work with.
Warm Wood, Black Window Frames, and Linen Curtains That Know When to Stop
Rattan nightstand drawers and a chunky knit throw anchor the room without overworking it. Linen curtains hung high let the black window frames do their job without competition — a small decision that opens the space up considerably.
Material Matters: Rattan drawer fronts have made a strong comeback in bedroom furniture because they add texture without adding visual weight. Unlike carved wood or metal hardware, rattan keeps the eye moving rather than stopping on a single focal point — a practical choice for smaller rooms that still want character without feeling cluttered.
