|
 |
| The 20-foot-tall fireplace is covered with artificial stone that perfectly mimics rocks that can be found near the Wisconsin home. |
|
|
 |
| The great room’s 21-foot ceiling lets in plenty of light, but hand-peeled log beams keep the space down to earth. |
|
|
 |
| A jet-black island and stainless steel appliances provide a nice contrast with the hickory cabinets in the Veras’ cozy kitchen. |
|
|
 |
| The dining area just off the kitchen also has a view of the lake, ensuring that every meal taken in the Veras’ home will also be a feast for the eyes. |
|
|
 |
| The home’s octagonal dining nook lets warm summer breezes flow while providing a 360-degree view of the lake. |
|
|
 |
| Plush upholstered furniture and an unorthodox window scheme (which echoes the one in the great room) make the upstairs loft an ideal place to spend a quiet afternoon. |
|
|
 |
| With its two rows of cushy seats, a high-definition movie screen with surround sound, a custom-made velvet curtain and a popcorn machine, the home’s theater room accurately mirrors the big-screen experience. |
|
|
 |
| This angled loft bedroom, one of two in the Veras’ house, has a private balcony that overlooks the lake. |
|
|
 |
| In the master bedroom, slightly distressed wood furniture complements the warm carmel tone of the logs. |
|
|
 |
| The main master bathroom is nothing if not luxurious, with a whirlpool tub for two, a walk-in shower and a heated tile floor. |
