This lakeside cottage had been renovated over the years, but the spaces were closed off, the finishes were dark, and there were some bulky fireplaces which restricted light and flow. We kept the exposed structural posts & beams but removed some walls to open up the kitchen and dining area to the living space. We added more windows at the living area and removed part of the front porch roof for better views to the lake and surrounding mountains. We created a master suite by combining two bedrooms upstairs. The basement was also re-finished for a fresher brighter guest and recreation space.
