Uniting a Blended Family Under 1 Roof

Coastal Veranda, New York

This photo in a porch shows off the linear wood ceiling and the appeal of combining white with natural wood tones for a casual, beachy feel. The warm tone of the knotty wood beadboard ceiling is repeated in the copper flashing above the window trim on the exterior of the house. The crisp, white, horizontal siding and white columns contrast against the natural knotty pine beadboard ceiling for a warm casual feel. The siding is not lapped siding. Instead the outer surface of the siding is straight up and down without an angle. This simple profile along with the clean shadow line give the home a modern feel - thus updating it from the traditional coastal shingle style. The windows with their divided lites in a traditional grille pattern create a timeless style and allow light into the home. The white soffit is linear as well and also features linear slots to provide venting. All of these linear elements (of the trim, soffit, siding, ceiling) with the white create a very clean updated look to the exterior.
