The first floor puts the primary suite, mudroom, and walk-in closet on one side, with the family room and rear porch anchoring the opposite end. Kitchen and dining sit centrally between them. A foyer connects the front porch to the staircase, keeping traffic logical throughout.
Floor Plan
The second floor delivers 880 square feet across two bedrooms, a central loft, and a mechanical storage room. Both bedrooms share access to bathrooms, and the open loft creates a flexible landing between them. Staircase placement keeps traffic flow natural without cutting through sleeping areas.
Material Matters: Eight-foot ceilings on the second floor keep construction costs reasonable while still feeling open, especially in the loft, where furniture arrangement can shift the space from media room to workspace. Pairing drywall with exposed wood beams is a common upgrade on farmhouse builds at this ceiling height, adding visual depth without structural complexity. It’s a small decision that reads large once the room is furnished.
Stone Fireplace, Fall Light, and a Living Room That Earns Its Keep
Stacked stone runs floor to ceiling around the firebox, anchoring the TV above a raw wood mantle. Recessed lighting keeps the ceiling clean. Two oversized sofas face each other across a glass-and-iron coffee table, while the windows behind pull in that vivid autumn color outside. Warm hardwood floors tie it together without trying too hard.
Fun Fact: Positioning a TV above a fireplace is one of the most debated moves in living room design. Neck strain is a real concern, but mounting height matters more than placement alone. Keeping the screen within about 15 degrees of eye level when seated makes it far more comfortable to watch.
Dark Island, White Marble, and Pendant Lights That Mean Business
Upholstered barstools with nailhead trim pull up to a dark-base island topped in veined white quartz, anchored by a stainless steel range hood overhead.
Color Story: Warm greige walls keep the white cabinetry from reading cold, a pairing that holds up across different lighting conditions throughout the day. Notice how the black island base acts as a visual anchor without pulling the eye away from the herringbone tile backsplash. It’s a restrained palette that does a lot of work with very few colors.
Farmhouse Chandelier, Fall Views, and a Dining Room That Pulls It All Together
A black rectangular chandelier with candle-style bulbs anchors the dining area over a wood table. Colorful fall foliage through the oversized window does most of the decorating work.
Try This: Placing a dining table close to a large window like this one can make the room feel twice its actual size. Natural light shifts throughout the day, so you get a different mood at breakfast than at dinner without changing a thing. If privacy’s a concern, sheer roller shades mount nearly invisibly inside the frame.
Greige Walls, Gray Bedding, and a Master Suite That Actually Feels Restful
Dark upholstered platform bed anchors a room where every material stays in the same cool-gray family without feeling monotonous. Two doors matter here: one leads to the ensuite, one doesn’t.

Marble Walls, Glass Enclosure, and a Freestanding Tub with a View Worth Keeping
Calacatta-style marble tile runs floor to ceiling inside the glass enclosure, and the rain showerhead sits centered overhead where it actually belongs. The freestanding tub pulls all the natural light from that corner window. Fall foliage outside makes the whole room feel less like a bathroom and more like somewhere you’d linger. The walk-in closet doorway just visible on the right is a smart layout call.
Common Mistake: Freestanding tubs look striking near windows, but placement matters more than aesthetics. If the tub faucet is floor-mounted and the drain runs to an exterior wall, moving that window later becomes expensive. Decide on tub placement before framing, not after.
Mudroom Built-Ins That Actually Handle the Chaos
Shiplap backing keeps the locker section from feeling like plain cabinetry, and the contrast between white painted wood and the dark walnut bench top earns its place. Three drawers below the bench handle shoe storage without cluttering the floor. One pair of boots got left out anyway.
Why the Upper Cubbies Work Harder Than They Look
Open cubbies at eye level are often a liability, since whatever you toss in there becomes visible the moment anyone walks through the door. Woven baskets solve that without adding doors that’d make the unit feel heavier. Keeping all three baskets matched in material and tone is what holds the whole unit together visually.
Loft Living Room Where the TV Wall and the View Compete for Attention
Carpet keeps the sound contained up here, which matters more in a loft than most rooms. A low console floats beneath the wall-mounted TV, leaving plenty of breathing room. Outside the window, fall color does exactly what you’d hope it would.
