Kristine from Lakeshore Cottage Living found a diamond in the rough by a beautiful lake to accommodate her large family. Unfortunately for her, this diamond was in need of some major polishing. But with a spectacular view of the water and a luxurious pool to lounge in after a hard days work, what's a little elbow grease?
The water side of a lake home is usually its best asset, but this homes enticing entrance makes guests long for a moment in the tree swing.
The perfect spot for family dinners and holiday gatherings all year long.
Most lake cottages boast light colors reminiscent of water and sky but, these rich, dark cabinets and natural floors are more rustic cabin than beach side shack.
Beautiful feminine details mixed with masculine charm adds unexpected character. Who knew glass knobs and brick backsplash would be such an amazing combo?
and for sipping coffee by the fire during winter.
This sweet little girls room is a perfect room by the lake with its cool color scheme and vintage details.
Sometimes compromises have to be made to find the perfect lakeside home, but Kristin proves that the extra effort is worth it. Putting your own stamp on your families home is not easy work, but the benefits are making memories and watching your family grow in a home created by you.
