LIFE IS GOOD...AT THE LAKE!

Happy Friday!  With the weather cooling down and summer coming to an end it got me thinking about how we spent our time last weekend.  Some very good long-time friends of ours invited us to their lake house to spend time with them and their family.  We had so much fun with everyone!  Being at the lake truly reminds me to slow down every now and then and enjoy life with good friends and family!

The house we were at is designed and decorated perfectly and so my daydreaming of owning a lake house of our own began!  I started looking at pictures of lake houses and their décor.

Isn’t this Kitchen is perfect for a lake house?  Being completely open with large island where everyone can gather around is exactly what I would want.  And I love the contrast of the oversized metal vent hood with the clean and simple painted white cabinets.  Having the slightly rustic and distressed wood floors and ceiling beams help add warmth to the space.  And the iron lantern light fixtures over the island help bring the feel of the outdoors in.  I can totally see myself cooking family meals for my boys in here!


And after dining together we would move into this beautiful Family Room!  I love everything about it from the vaulted ceilings with exposed beams to the shiplap walls to the contrasting stone fireplace.  And the furniture really ties it all together by being light and bright with punches of the darker gray throughout.  And THAT view…it is something that would never get old!


Although I don’t necessarily love things that are overly cheesy or themed I love this weathered oar headboard and could definitely see using it in a Guest Bedroom.  The combination of the different sizes and colors really add interest to the space.


Aren’t these oversized porch swings to die for?!?  These would be a must for the patio in my dream lake house!  I can see myself taking naps here on a daily basis.


Well, now that my daydreaming is over I hope everyone has a wonderful and super relaxing weekend!
