This young family wanted a playful and livable home that didn’t sacrifice beauty for practicality. We clad the entry floor in a durable slate tile and installed a built-in bench (for both skis and hiking boots!), easing the indoor-outdoor living Tahoe is known for. Charming kids rooms with handmade log beds and pine wallpaper provide a place of respite and creativity, while the living boasts a generous built-in office area adjacent to a window seat primed for an afternoon nap.
