330 Homes Fall 2021

In the living room, two midcentury dark blue velvet armchairs sit across from more traditional soft gray chairs with nailhead trim. A creamy low profile sofa with unfussy lines lends understated yet sophisticated elegance. To achieve a quintessential transitional effect, rounded, low profile black chairs pair with a contemporary solid oak dining table finished in a sandblasted quarter oak veneer.

Traditional Mission-style cabinetry, painted black on the oversized island and white on the built ins, works with white granite countertops for crisp simplicity. Memmer Homes helped the Savages pick an engineered hardwood with matte-finished oak planks to unite the main level open floor plan with a warm, cohesive look. “I wanted to keep it simple but dramatic at the same time,” Rebecca says.

“That color is really great for a young family,” Fehlman adds. “Medium to light tones hold up to wear and tear very well.” For more of that drama, Rebecca chose black hexagonal tile for the floor in the powder room that has one wall accented with blue-and-white textural animal print wallpaper. It has easy access from the lakeside outdoor living space, which features an alfresco dining area and a dock for their pontoon boat. “I love the darkness and

moodiness of it, but it’s still classic,” Rebecca says. The leather-finished granite-topped bar and lounge area also show off that vibe in the lower level. Medium and darker shades of gray on walls and baseboards offset luxury vinyl floors with the look of reclaimed wood that stand up to dampness. Natural light floods into the living room, dining room and vaulted owner’s suite through walls of windows.
