Pinebrook Cottages
Take a look at this photo, but try and ignore the rock fireplace. I'm looking at the wall color, the trim, and the white-washed floors that you can't see very well in this picture, but you can see it in one of the other pics in this house's photo collection. Also notice the beam color, which I think would work well for your beam, as well as the potential railing caps. I think I like this look for the main level vs. the dark wood that we talked about. It gives it more of the cottage look you are telling me you want....
John, what do you think about this color for a contrasting island. Beautiful blue....
