The McGee Home: Great Room Design Process and Tour

Welcome to our great room, we’re going to be sharing the thought process behind the design and try to answer all your questions because we’ve received a lot from all of you!
When you enter our home, you walk under the barrel arch and into our living room, which opens up to our kitchen and our dining room. Having an open-concept floor plan that still felt like there were individual rooms was really important to us, and we couldn’t be happier with the final result.
Our walls are painted in Swiss Coffee by Benjamin Moore at 75% Strength.
Our entryway is very intimate, and the ceilings are about 10 feet high, but when you walk under the barrel arch and into the living room, they raise to 25 feet.
Before I knew what color our windows were going to be, what color paint was going to be on the walls, or any furniture we would use, I knew I wanted these huge wood trestles. They are structural, and they actually support our home. When they were installed, I was terrified because they had to crane them into position. Plus, they are douglas fir wood, and I was so nervous about matching them to our white oak floors.
Luckily, we worked with Killowen Construction and Lemco Design to create the perfect custom, cohesive stains on both our floors and trestles.
