At The Lake–Part 3

We’ll continue our lake home tour this evening with the finished sleeping porch.

The quilts are hung.

Unfortunately Heather didn’t get a close up of the cute doll house.

The antlers hung between the owl pictures are vintage.  From Karen’s grandfather.

The sleeping porch before.

A BIG change, huh?

A cute mirror that Heather painted and hung between the beds.

The serving buffet that Heather painted.  Positioned right off of the kitchen.  We couldn’t find a mirror large enough that we could afford, so Heather painted an oval one that she already had and surrounded the mirror with a frame that she tied twigs to.  We finished the look with a hanging bird cage chandelier.

On to the kitchen……..

I am IN LOVE with this granite!

AND the awesome red piece that Karen found in Canton.  It turns.  Originally we thought it would be used on the dining table.  However, we all loved the way it looked on the island.  We filled it with every day kitchen items and it is much more useful and functional!

The canisters, which are plastic, will be filled with snacks for the grandkids.

Speaking of the dining table……..

Here’s the finished look.  The large blue canister will be filled with colorful wrapped candy.

On the front porch.

Heather painted this table and chairs.  The table is chalk board for the grandkids to draw on on one side………….

And checker board for the BIG kids to play on on the other side.  I LOVE this table!

Not finished yet but coming soon is a long bench which we will be upholstering in black and white damask outdoor fabric.  I’m not sure what color Heather decided to paint the bench?  We’ll have pictures of that later.

We’ll finish our home tour next time with views of the outside of this AMAZING and gorgeous home. 

Have a wonderful rest of the weekend!

  4. Very fun, Denise! That great shelving piece in the bedroom really was calling out for some attention. Love that red piece on the counter, too. The table and chairs on the porch are great - I love the colors you've brought out there.
