Your Favorite Rooms....

Don't forget,

this Saturday is

 Favorites on the First

and we are sharing

our favorite room.

But don't let the word 

"room"

restrict your entry.

It could be a hallway,

or a screened porch,

or your studio 

or garden room,

or?

The sky's the limit!

Just be sure to share

the space you love

or love to spend time in

in your home.

Can't wait to see

what you come up with.

See you on Saturday!

Cocktails, anyone?

We have a small wet bar 

that is in the paneled family room.

It used to be a small kitchen

and was twice its size

until they converted the barn

and clubhouse into a home.

(Half of the stall area became

the kitchen and the original little kitchen

became a wet bar area.)

So stop by 

someday soon 

and share a 

glass of wine with me

won't you?

Antiques --- Lakeside Cabin Style

 

Just got back from

our annual vacation in the

Northwoods of Wisconsin.

These shots were taken 

on one of the

 gorgeous sunny days

that we were blessed 

to be there.

 And though taking it easy

and relaxing,

riding on the boat,

or catching up my reading,

is what we are there for mostly...

there is always time

to hit a few shops 

in the area. 

:)

Found a new spot 

and could

not wait 

to share it with you.

 

This is The Simple Life

and it is located 

in Land o' Lakes, WI

which is the last town in Wisconsin

before you hit the border 

of Michigan's UP.

Oh my goodness,

if you have a cabin 

or have ever wanted

 a cabin, you would

just go crazy in this shop!

I met George, one of the two owners,

and he could not have been

more friendly and informative 

in telling us

how he and his wife

share a passion to scour

the world to find unique

and one-of-a-kind cabin decor pieces.

Their buying trips take them

coast to coast and on

 annual buying trips to Bavaria and Austria.

They have pieces you will not see 

anywhere else.

Take a look.

 

 

 

Behind the main building

there is a barn and a sale tent too.

So many options!

So worth a visit, or two or three.

So if you are in the

market for cabin decor 

be sure to stop by

The Simple Life

in Land o' Lakes, Wisconsin.

If I had a cabin.....

Do you ever wish

maybe you owned 

a cottage or cabin

on a quiet little lake?

Plain and simple. No fuss. No frills.

Screened porch sleeping.

SLL

Nothing too big ---

don't want to clean 

when I go there

  -- just want to relax

and get away from it all.

 It's got to be kid and big dog friendly.

Fabrics and surfaces that can stand up

to time and wet paws or bathing suits.

 Recycled furnishings that could

tell a story about their passed down

lakeside life.

A girl can dream, right?

SLL

But then reality wakes me up

and reminds me that we

have to put two teens

through college!

Ahhhhhh.... someday?

But.....

if I could ever

own a little lake house

... these images

mostly from Pinterest 

and a couple from

Spider Lake Lodge in WI

reflect

how I would love to

decorate it.

So tell me,

do you have recurring

dreams like this too?

Now doesn't that look like a dream?
