Furniture placement: chairs facing lake for conversation, chair in corner for reading, cube seating for add'l seating, etc.

I suggest adding a small table positioned in front of the right window in the LR to seat two-three people for playing games. Just need good lighting.

You can add whimsy with pillows. Also, we shouldn't shy away from blue furniture in the LR just because the walls/ceiling are painted blue.

Also think of this alternative seating arrangement in the LR vs. the usual couch/sectional. You'll be using a couch/sectional in the sitting room so you could get away with this furniture option.

Let's remember to incorporate a bookcase or shelving in your LR to house books and games. This one has a touch of whimsy to it.

I like how the wood beams and wood mantel make this feel more NY lake house vs. having them painted white, which to me, feels more ocean coastal. I'm showing this to answer your question regarding painting the window trim in the living room. I think you shouldn't.

Love this wallpaper for the entryway!

Maybe the entryway is where we can use a whimsical, nautical wallpaper.

Maybe we use blue as the recurring color throughout every room.

I can see these colors and this cozy vibe in your sitting room. Like how this would compliment the Camella Court pic by bringing in the blues if we did Camella in the LR. The darker sofa makes sense in this room and the multiple ottomans can be used for coffee table(s) or additional seating.

Like the colors and patterns of the furniture, pillows and rug. The furniture placement is nice, too.

Another way to finish the top where the beams meet in the middle.

Shows how moldings could be used vs. beams.

Shows how the beams would extend below the line created by the ceiling and walls without the use of perimeter molding.

Maybe we can still keep the molding around the perimeter of the room and have the beams extend slightly below it. Also shows one option of the way to finish the top where the beams meet in the middle.

I like the window treatments and how a sectional and ottoman can be arranged so the fireplace is the focal. I could see me curling up reading a book.
