Cozy cottage or sleek contemporary, second homes are a place to explore design dreams. Be inspired by these two possibilities.

Cozy Cottage

The open floor plan of this Arrow Rock vacation home belonging to Kirk Isenhour and Doug Anning manages to be both spacious and comfy. The 1860s-era American walnut dropleaf table is flanked by two antique walnut rush-seat chairs. The couple found the vintage antlers at a nearby antique mall.

Sleek Contemporary

A view of Table Rock Lake defines the living room of this weekend home designed by Scott Miller of Hufft, the architectural firm founded by Matt Hufft. The fireplace is clad in granite, which has ample wood storage tucked under to accommodate fewer trips to the woodpile.
