What it’s Really Like to Work with an Interior Designer

We’ve all seen the HGTV shows that depict the glamorous world of home renovations and interior design. Unimaginably dated homes are transformed into luxury living spaces before our eyes, and we get to watch it all play out 30-60 minutes at a time, believing that the process is as simple as they make it seem.

Let’s get started…

Fabulous & Easy Craft Cocktails for a Feel-Good Winter

The majesty of ice clinging to the evergreens…the blanket of thick snow covering the earth…the calm and simplicity that comes with frigid days.

5 Ways to Show Loved Ones You Care this Holiday Season

This is usually the time of year where we invite loved ones into our lake homes for a roaring fire, great food, and festive beverages (cue the brandy and eggnog). We reminisce about the events of the year gone by and laugh until it hurts. We play silly games (hello, holiday charades), sing carols around […]

Bedding Basics: What You Need to Know and Why It’s Important

Few things are better than crisp autumn nights in the Northwoods. You open the windows and smell the faint smokiness of a campfire in the distance. You hear the lapping of lake water along the rocky shoreline. You see millions of stars shining brilliantly in the clear, dark sky. And you climb into your cozy, […]

5 Fun Ways to Transform Your Kitchen Table this Fall

As we drive the winding roads of the Northwoods, we can’t help but notice the hints of color that are peeking through the trees…indicating that fall is just around the corner and our warm summer days out on the lake are numbered (say it isn’t so!!!). Yes, the boat has to be winterized and the […]

How to Liven Up Your Lake Cabin with Beautiful Wall Art

It’s summertime in Northwoods, Wisconsin, everyone! Cabins are open and lively, the lake is calling, and our homes are the perfect spot to enjoy a cool break from the outdoors (or escape the occasional showers). Last month, we talked about sprucing up your outdoor entertaining areas. This month, let’s talk about livening up the interiors… […]

3 Simple Ways to Spruce Up Your Outdoor Entertaining

Let’s be honest… spring and early summer have felt a bit… strange (and that might be putting it nicely).

Summer days are upon us. That hot, humid, sticky air of June in Wisconsin has arrived, and we don’t mind it one bit.  After months of being cooped up during this pandemic (while the rainy, chilly days of spring passed through), we couldn’t be more grateful for warm weather and the chance to start living […]
