Traditional Mountain Roost
Even the side entry of this stately mountain home provides a peek at its sophisticated, traditional style.
Ivory plaster walls and ceiling frame the room, which has been trimmed in rich grey. Built-in cabinets in the same gray offer a spot to put on shoes, drop bags or stash essential items. Hats, coats and umbrellas can be hung on iron hooks that coordinate with the drawer hardware. Walnut-stained hardwood flooring climbs the stairs leading the way to the second level. The handrail and chunky newel are stained the same rich dark brown as the entry’s door and bench seat top. Iron balusters coordinate with the wall sconce providing depth and contrast. A round window at the landing punches light into the staircase and tempts a quick look. Topping the floors is a flat weave rug in a palette of almond, charcoal and beige. The rug softens the space as do the aqua, cream, taupe and ecru graphic print throw pillows. A trio of framed hunting dog paintings brings pops of turquoise and is a reminder of the natural views just outside.
