Soft indirect light shines up ward from light coves, which, along with the white walls, cre ate a non-cluttered, calming atmosphere. Throughout the rest of the first floor, the white walls, black doors, trim and windows and hickory floors weave the space together. Those trim details carry through to the wife’s office — her dream space. Sliding doors separate her space from the rest of the main floor, while a fluffy light fixture floral in ap pearance and square down lights augment the room’s natural light. The walls are pale pink, and a piece of floral art by Columbus artist Susanne Dotson provides summery color no matter the season. “On a gray day, you have Mother Nature,” Schumacher says.

The wife loves the space, where she has a great view while remaining close to the action in the great room. “It’s private. It’s feminine. It’s something I’ve always wanted,” she says. Overall, Schumacher and Brown ensured the main floor flowed seamlessly, while still integrating the family’s per sonal touches. “We wanted open, kind of eclec tic,” Schumacher says. “Down stairs, it is more like a lounge and an Irish Pub.” After descending, you enter a living space complete with cozy furniture, a fireplace and framed guitars on the walls. A one-of-a-kind Don Drumm gui tar sculpture rests in the corner.
