Soothing hues of sage, gray, taupe, and plum give the first-floor master bedroom suite a peaceful feeling. The windows and doors open to the back deck, overlooking the adjoining 500-acre nature preserve. A sense of space is created by the 10-foot-high ceiling and framed, rough-finished white pine paneling that mimics traditional country home walls.
