Metal lamp that could work on table behind couch. Might also be good to consider Hubbarton Forge (consistency) or ceramic.

rug from Sallie's house - Seemed pretty versatile, though maybe too pink.

soft rug, color interest

Like the brick red, but not a soft rug.

ottoman (concept only) - fabric to offset if more neutral rug or arm chair
Q

more ottomans - round maybe better. Not the fabric, just the concept. I've also seen these with a fleece covering which looked kind of fun.

neutral rug - too monotonous with couch?

neutral rug - a little rough

rug - yellowish with blue accent

tables at Shelburne Farms - back of couch or entryway

antique table with drawers - entryway or if low enough, behind the couch.

there were 6 of these I think. Kind of charming. The cushions cozy them up. Lower profile.

long pillow for couch. too neutral?
Q

blues and yellows for couch - go with existing pillows. The blue is an oversize. The couch needs a few bigger pillows to compensate for the low profile.

maybe too much green...

Welcoming covered entry. Or perhaps situated on another side of house for lake view if we go with a covered patio. Will need to consider budget for outdoor living spaces, including deck which we assume will be a large feature.

We have woodstove now, but a fireplace may make sense in more efficient home. Aesthetically a wood fireplace would be optimal (would want to consider any downsides - mess, etc.) Maybe this style is too rustic or whimsical, but it has a nice organic quality to it.

Windows, built ins, open, light - kitchen colors except maybe a warmer wall color. Like that you are looking through windows instead of at cabinets,

Built ins in stair well - interesting idea
Q

Like this style of windows for other areas of the house - plenty of clear views, but not without some design element. For lake view in living area, would go with a taller window, maybe a single row of panes above.

This house is a cape (not what we want), but it has a cottage feel to it throughout. Like the wall color and floor color, built ins, wide trim.

Nice cabinetry.

Built in seating for dining table - room for table add-on/expanded seating. Might like it better if part of a punch-out.

Island top. More natural v. pre-fab. Too rustic? Looking for cottage/house, not cabin.

Possible island light - glass globes - but a lot fewer, and maybe not so much like crystal here. But considering a clearer glass alternative to puffs.

Possible island light - glass bulbs

color scheme, vanity combines shelves and doors and drawers.

Cozy seating around hearth, though I think we'd want a couch in the mix. Thinking about similar arrangement to this or possibly a sectional sofa.
