Transom crossbars over the vertical windows increase both the light and the drama of the space by making the ceilings feel higher. “We wanted to use the windows to feature the lake as much as possible,” Rebecca says, noting they chose not to hang window dressings for an airier impression. But the home’s most brilliant highlight is the light fixtures, which Rebecca and Fehlman both describe as jewelry for the home. “Light fixtures really have the opportunity to

reflect your personality,” Fehlman says. To show off Rebecca’s fun, stylish and tailored sides, Fehlman helped her find fixtures with both contemporary sleekness and approachable authenticity. Touches of bright gold and brass add a fresh feel to the midcentury glass globes above the dining table. The stunning living room chandelier is one of Rebecca’s favorite pieces in the house. The combo of bright exposed Edison bulbs and a thin modern profile brings attention to the space without overwhelming the furniture.

“I wanted something large and grand in that area,” she says. She showed Fehlman an inspiration photo, and Fehlman helped find it within her budget. Between the timeless decor, expansive lake views and a floor plan that welcomes guests in and out, this transitional home is the perfect backdrop for all the milestones in this young family’s future. “My vision was … it’s an open floor plan that we can enjoy with family and friends and feel inviting,” Rebecca says. “It really came to life.”
