A coffered ceiling inset with anaglypta lightens the once-dark living room. The blue-red of the Verellen sofa and chairs from Artefact Home|Garden plays to the orange-red tones of the original fireplace. Jim Anderson Stained Glass custom designed the window. Far left: Architectural designer Jennifer Birnstiel modeled posts and brackets on the front porch after Felsted, the 1897 Maine summer home built for Frederick Law Olmsted.

Adding a three-story addition to this New Hampshire home gave its owners the organizational and recreational spaces they needed to accommodate their expanding, multigenerational family. The home receives a lot of traffic throughout the year, so designers included storage spaces for outdoor equipment along with rooms dedicated to indoor activities.

A smattering of well-placed color enlivens the family room without upsetting the neutral paletteâs serenity. Accessories are primarily limited to books and natural elements like green plants and pickings from the garden to maintain the airy ambience. A saw-horse table by Waldoâs Designs serves as a handy desk, while John Booneâs upholstered club chairs and welcoming sofa guarantee comfort.
