This bright and inviting Cross Lake area second home was designed with entertaining in mind. The homeowners wanted a peaceful, relaxing retreat with a beautiful interior that matches the idealistic lake shore setting this property offers. Design elements that were focused on were comfort, function, and durability. The open floor plan encourages spending time together while the neutral color palette and warm textures help not to distract from the beautiful views surrounding this lake retreat.

The main living area boasts an open floor plan, thoughtfully crafted to foster a sense of togetherness and facilitate the gathering of large groups. The premium luxury vinyl plank flooring offers exceptional durability and effortless cleanability, especially for gatherings. The beautiful frosted glass sidelights flank the space, allowing an abundance of natural light to stream in while preserving the much-desired privacy. We also chose custom alder doors and woodwork to add a touch of sophistication and charm.
We also added a reclaimed wood wall to showcase the owner’s artisan paddles, Simon Pierce hand-blown glass on a custom chandelier, and a custom steel and stone gas fireplace.
This kitchen showcases custom-built and stained on-site alder Cabinetry, a hand-made diamond-shaped mosaic tile backsplash by Mercury Mosaics of Minnesota, and beautiful quartz countertops from Cambria for ease of maintenance and durability. A focal point is the stunning custom-made steel range hood, adding industrial chic to the sophisticated design.
The sunroom features beautiful lake views and incorporates a custom Italian murphy bed, providing additional space for guests. With a soft color palette and a cozy wool rug, this room becomes a favored spot for relaxation and leisure.
In the laundry and powder room, we used custom-built and stained cabinetry to exude craftsmanship, providing both functionality and a touch of elegance to this room. Durable ceramic tiles in soothing creams, greys, and black create a unifying thread, connecting the laundry and powder room in a cohesive design that stands the test of time. The play of white upper cabinetry and quartz countertops effortlessly harmonizes with the darker tones of the stained wood and tiles, adding a sense of balance and refinement.
