Lake House Tour

So happy to be here today

 

sharing some bits and pieces of our Lake Home!

 

Debbiedoos started the idea

when she invited me to be on her Tour of Homes.

 

It's fun to get a glimpse of how friends decorate and live in their homes.

So I want to share a few of my home spaces with you,

my creative "home making" friends!

..........................................

 

When Mark and I became empty nesters

 

we moved to the Lake.

 

Living at the lake is mostly about the outdoors.

 

But when you live on a lake in Nebraska,

 

you better enjoy the inside too!

 

 

So this is the lake side view of our home.

(minus a few summer patio plants, red umbrella, tiki torches...)

 

 

 

 

 

Well, you get the idea.

 

It's January

 

and this is our view today...

 

 

 

 

So, come inside

 

and I'll show you the view from the inside out.

 

 

 

 

Now for the inside...

 

 

 

 

 

You can find paint details on The Starbucks Snowman Tray here

 

and The Snowman on Fence Boards here.

 

This is my kitchen.

 

 

 

 

Over by the fridge in the corner

 

we keep a drink station when we entertain.

 

Right now it looks like this.

 

 

 

I painted a digital art poster in photoshop

 

and switched out her summer hat

 

to winter warmers.

 

In the summer she looks like this.

 

 

 

 

We have stained concrete floors which I love.

 

It is so practical to sweep up sand from swimmers.

 

 

  

 

 

If you've visited my blog before

 

you have probably seen this corner many times.

 

I use it to photograph a lot of painted furniture.

 

 

 

 

I have tutorials on the Painted Sideboard, the Barnwood Backdrop,

 

and the Beadboard Plant Stand.

 

You can also find details on the Photo Display Board

 

 

 

At the top of the stairs is my paint table.

 

 

 

 

 

The upstairs is open to the master bedroom in the back.

 

I have my old new Rocker in the corner.

 

 

 

 

Here is one of our bathrooms

 

with the Route 66 Canvas.

 

 

 

 

Love my work area!

 

 

 

 

 

It was fun to show you some of our home spaces.

 

I especially like it when those spaces are filled with

 

chatting and laughter.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thank you for coming on the tour!

 

 

 

 

 

Here's to Happy Handmade Homes!
