Lake City Living in a Timber Frame Home

A Timber Coastal Cottage Conversion
The new lake room boasts vaulted ceilings, floor-to-ceiling glass that opens up to the lake and a welcoming conversation area. "We wanted to play off the water surroundings, so we incorporated blues and greens," says Natalie. The water-prone area had to be practical, too. "We did tile floors in the lake room and concrete floors in the great room," she adds. "Any room that is connected to the exterior has a hard surface for extra durability."
