The living room is on the south side of the house. “It’s a very welcoming room,” says Serena Crowley, shown here with Mckenna and Theo. “No matter what the lighting is outside, whether it’s a gray or sunny day, it always feels good in here.”  Walls are painted a soft gray and furnishings are in creams and white. Artwork and an antique Oriental rug add punches of color, and potted banana palm trees connect the room to the outdoors. French doors open to a bluestone patio softened with clumps of purple thyme.
