Light and bright cabinetry, luxurious lighting fixtures, and a statement range balance the rustic elements, offering a refined, inviting ambience.

Featured above, beyond the flooring, is Northern Wide Plank's Outpost—genuine reclaimed oak planks create the visual interest while complementing the dark white oak flooring.

This theme continues with soaring ceilings and matching beams that exude craftsmanship. Adding to this ambience, an arched stone doorway provides a subtle yet impactful statement of scale and elegance.

The home’s hardwood flooring and wall cladding (ceiling), sourced from Northern Wide Plank’s Iconic and Panoramic Collections respectively, are pivotal elements in achieving the desired aesthetic. With Rainier white oak flooring, mixed in 7-, 9-, and 11-inch plank widths throughout, along with Outpost reclaimed oak planks in selected areas above, the combination of different materials and natural surfaces creates an authentic, timeless appeal.

The homeowners said, “Northern Wide Plank flooring was highly recommended to us as the go-to for a home like ours. After extensive research and multiple showroom visits, we fell in love with its uniqueness and quality. The 6mm top surface with a hardwax oil finish truly brings out the authentic wood feel we were looking for.”

Bringing this vision to life was not without its challenges. After several setbacks, the homeowners found success with Lino Montemurri Designs, which truly understood the project’s ethos. Collaborating with Coghill Construction and Jacki McEachran Design Services, the team converged to create a masterpiece that marries aesthetic appeal with functional living spaces.

Nestled in the tranquil lakefront town of Kingsville, Ontario, this residence is a stunning realization of timeless design and warm hospitality. Envisioned as a welcoming retreat for family and friends, this 5,500-square-foot lodge-style home captures rustic charm while delivering modern comfort. Its thoughtful blend of materials, curated to reflect a serene yet enduring aesthetic, is the hallmark of this remarkable residence.

More than just a home—this quaint retreat is a testament to craftsmanship, vision, and the joy of gathering in a space that feels both rooted in tradition and ready to welcome the future.
