This dual-layer ceiling immediately captures attention when you enter the room, adding a touch of elegance to the overall design.

Watch Your Step Past the Leather Couch to the Porch

The living room features leather seating, dark wood tables, and a fireplace with a wall-mounted TV above it.

It may seem like the leather couch is in the way, but there is some space to maneuver around it. However, consider relocating it or swapping it out for a compact armchair instead.

Spacious Kitchen with Generous Island and Stylish Backsplash

Rich hardwood floors complement the white cabinetry and granite island beautifully. While I admire the features on both the island and cabinets, a different backsplash would be my choice.

Chic Contrast with Two-Toned Cabinetry

The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a large breakfast island, and contrasting black and white cabinets.

The contrasting black and white cabinets are visually appealing, with stainless steel appliances connecting the two styles. The intricate carvings on the island also look quite exquisite from this perspective.

The kitchen island showcases a gooseneck faucet above a double bowl sink, accompanied by stylish pendant lighting.

The Overall Look (And Suggestions for Simplifying)

The dining area across from the kitchen is flooded with natural light.

Some might find the kitchen’s design a little busy. The combination of contrasting colors, a patterned backsplash, heavy molding, and a complex island design may create a chaotic vibe. If you prefer a cleaner look, consider toning down some aspects — opting for a simpler backsplash or solid-colored cabinets could help.

Bright Dining Area with a Dark Table

The dining area features a dark wood table, leather chairs, and a stylish area rug.

The wainscoting adds a lovely character to the dining area walls, while a gallery wall of family photos enhances the personal touch. A bold centerpiece could potentially elevate the setting beyond just a fruit bowl.

To the Master Bedroom, Where the Step Ceiling Meets a Striking Rug

The primary bedroom features a step ceiling, wooden bed, and a full-length mirror with gray walls.

The dual tray ceiling adds dimension to the room, complemented by a calming neutral color palette. That eye-catching area rug really stands out, doesn’t it?

Symmetrical Dual Vanity with Decorative Shelving

The primary bathroom includes a dual sink vanity that offers ample storage and decorative shelves.

This unique vanity is equipped with generous storage space, making it the centerpiece of the primary bathroom.

Primary Bathroom Features a Dark Hardware Set

Completed with a walk-in shower and tub, the primary bathroom offers both amenities.

The primary bathroom includes both a walk-in shower and a bathtub, which is a lovely pairing. The dark hardware contrasts nicely against the light color scheme.

Cozy Home Theater with a Curved Leather Sectional, Projector, and Screen

The media room features a vaulted ceiling and a curved leather sectional on carpet flooring.

This media room setup is ideal for cozy movie nights with a few friends. However, should you anticipate larger gatherings, adding extra seating might be beneficial.

Functional Utility Room with Inviting Wood Flooring and Off-White Cabinets

The utility room features built-in storage, a washstand, and a white front-loading washer and dryer.

The utility room is designed with enough space for a small washstand, washer, dryer, and storage. It would also benefit from additional counter space for folding clothes.

Covered Porch Equipped with a Summer Kitchen, Ceiling Fan, and Wall-Mounted TV

The rear covered porch offers a summer kitchen and wall-mounted television.

This outdoor area is ideal for enjoying games and grilling. Just arrange some chairs in front of the mounted TV and take pleasure in the day.

Screened Porch Overlooking the Pool

The screened porch includes a ceiling fan and outdoor dining set on a patterned rug.

Should bugs become bothersome, the screened porch provides a perfect retreat. Currently, it accommodates a four-seat outdoor dining table, though a slightly larger set might also fit.
