Nestled in the woods of an island on Lake Champlain, Vermont, this 1955 “seasonal camp” home is where empty nesters Lance and Dawn Trigg go to entertain family and friends. But the couple, who live primarily in Florida, didn’t feel the kitchen was party-ready. At issue were aging appliances, an abundance of pine paneling, green linoleum floors, blue-green laminate countertops and a peninsula that cut off traffic flow.

Wanting a brighter and more open space for cooking and entertaining, the homeowners looked at inspiration photos on Houzz. They then hired designer Britt Mee and builder Bill Wockenfuss to help them realize their vision. The remodeling team removed the peninsula setup and replaced an old staircase off the kitchen with a spiral version. Those moves added 141 square feet and created room for extended cabinetry and a new island with seating and storage. The island’s cool blue-green base, white perimeter cabinets and greige paneled walls establish a light and casual yet upbeat look. The refinished pine ceiling and new rustic pine flooring add tremendous warmth. Upgraded appliances and a bar station in the island ensure partygoers stay well stocked with plenty of food and drink.

2. Open-Plan Home in Montana

The owners of this spectacular house has been visiting this area for decades and wanted to create a place to draw the generations of their family together, so they asked Pearson Design Group to create the home of their dreams.

A clever open-plan layout is key to maximizing the breathtaking lake views. As shown here, the kitchen is open to a living area with an oversized picture window facing directly out across the water. A deep recess around the window creates a generous window seat for lake gazing.

Just visible in this photo is an adjoining dining room that also has floor-to-ceiling windows to allow the views to take center stage.

Large windows also wrap around a corner of the main bedroom, providing beautiful panoramic views for the homeowners to wake up to, while a guesthouse benefits from both a balcony and a roof terrace from which to enjoy spectacular sunset views.
