Located on a quiet street in Orono, Minnesota, this classic coastal cottage-style home combines perfect interior design with distinct architectural details. Here, the interior designer, Kristi Patterson, from Grace Hill Design, tells us more about this inspiring project.
“This home was built for a growing family by Gordon James Construction. We worked with the builder and the homeowners from the beginning of the project, choosing all of the builder selections from lighting, tile, paint, cabinet design, hardware, flooring, stone, exterior, etc. The lighting all came from Grace Hill. And, we also furnished and accessorized the home with items custom ordered for the client from Grace Hill.
This cottage-style home feature some fresh design elements, such as grays & whites as the backdrop to coastal blue accents (rugs, pillows, some wall color, art). The connection to the outside was a key factor to the home’s design, as it features a 12-foot bifold door which completely pushes back to open the Great Room to an outside screen porch with a big stone fireplace. The home also features an inviting front porch and a large deck off the back for entertaining.
It was important to the homeowner that we added a lot of warmth to make it a comfortable, inviting home. We brought in a lot of “aged” elements to contrast the crisp backdrop. The home features 2 large barn doors, distressed floors, rustic open shelving in the kitchen and pantry, a stained tongue and groove ceiling on the screen porch, and a dutch door to the mudroom. It even has a little kids’ sized dutch door to a play area under the stairs in the lower level. The basement also features a custom wine cellar, a full bar area, fireplace and barn wood wall, which makes the space feel cozy for entertaining.
The lighting offers a mix of rustic, aged-looking lighting with some “glam” fixtures to avoid it looking to heavy. For instance, the lights over the kitchen island are very classic aged pewter pendants and we paired it with a crystal horizontal chandelier over the dining table that adds a big impact and some shine.
The home also has some great features for the family, such as a large walk in shower with full body sprays and a rain shower faucet. Because they opted to not have a tub in the Master Bathroom, we made the shower a focal point with tile laid in a striped pattern with a coastal color pallet.
This classic coastal cottage-style home has 4 bedrooms, a large bonus room over the garage, a full wine cellar, exercise room, office and screen porch and a dreamy walk-in pantry.”

According to the builder, “the inspired architecture pays homage to the graceful tradition of historic homes in the area, yet every detail has been carefully planned to meet today’s sensibilities.” I couldn’t agree more.
What a fantastic home… I honestly looked at every detail and I can’t find anything I don’t like! 🙂
So, how are you doing? Is everything good in your life? If there’s one thing I have learned is that, the more grateful we are, the more reasons to be grateful we will have.
