There’s a certain kind of house that signals, before you’ve even parked the car, that the people inside actually want to be home — and the Wrenhollow is that house, with a covered front porch wide enough for two rockers and a real conversation, an open living area that draws people in naturally, three bedrooms tucked back for quiet, and a layout sensible enough that nothing feels like a compromise.

Floor Plan
Three bedrooms, two baths, and an open kitchen-great room core. The master suite sits privately off the laundry. A covered porch runs the full front width.
Barn Bones, Modern Soul: White Board-and-Batten Under a Standing-Seam Roof
A black entry door and paired lantern sconces hold the facade together — grounding the crisp vertical siding and slate metal roofing without letting either one get too precious about it.
Open-Plan Living Where the Kitchen Island Earns Its Keep
Cream sofas anchor the living area while the wood-paneled kitchen island pulls double duty as prep surface and casual dining spot. Woven bar stools, a round dining table, and warm hardwood floors keep the whole palette from floating off into farmhouse-catalog territory.
Material Matters: The island’s natural wood base pairs with what appears to be a light stone or quartz top, and that contrast between raw wood and refined stone is doing most of the visual work in the room. It also holds up to daily use far better than painted cabinetry finishes, which is a practical argument that tends to age better than a purely aesthetic one.
Marble, Rattan, and Natural Light Doing All the Heavy Lifting
Woven barstools and a round dining table soften the marble island’s formality without competing with it.
Worth Knowing: Pendant lights over a kitchen island work best when their bottoms hang roughly 30 to 36 inches above the surface. Too high and you lose focused task light; too low and you’re ducking around them every time you reach across.
Sage Walls and Wood Nightstands Keeping a Bedroom Honest
Soft sage paint, a tufted upholstered headboard, warm hardwood floors, and just enough natural light to make all three feel intentional rather than assembled. Nothing in this room is shouting.
Editor’s Note: Ceiling fans are usually an afterthought, but placement matters more than most people realize. Centering the fan over the bed rather than the geometric center of the room keeps airflow where you actually sleep, which is the whole point. A dark finish like the one shown here also tends to recede visually rather than compete with everything else going on in the room.
Quartz, Matte Black, and Floating Shelves Pulling a Double-Sink Vanity Together
Veined quartz countertops and matte black fixtures anchor the vanity, with wood floating shelves visible in the mirror, adding warmth without crowding the space.
Pro Tip: Matte black fixtures have become popular partly because they don’t show water spots the way chrome does — genuinely useful in a double-sink bathroom where two people are moving through every morning. Pair them with lighter countertops so the contrast reads as deliberate rather than just dark.
Samsung Front-Loaders Dressed Up and Actually Earning Cabinet Space
Front-load washers look this good only when someone planned the cabinet height carefully.
White upper cabinets stop just short of the ceiling, leaving crown molding to finish the job. Against taupe walls, the dark graphite appliances read less like appliances and more like furniture — which is exactly the effect a well-planned laundry room is after.
