Decorating a Lake House - Part 1
A few years ago, I decorated a vacation cabin home for a client. This past summer they asked me to decorate a lake home they were building in Arkansas. Well, I have never decorated long distance, but it was a really wonderful opportunity that I did not want to miss.
Sneak peek! This was one of my favorite rooms in the entire house. This brick walls are so beautiful!
I visited the lake house in the summer while it was still under construction. It was 104 degrees the day I was there!
Five months later, I headed to Arkansas with my assistant, and daughter-in-law Alice. We drove a packed suburban 7 hours.
The living room windows overlook the lake. You can see the necessities of decorating at the bottom left; coffee and snacks!
A truck arrived with furniture, and it took two days just getting the furniture moved in.
There was a T.J. Maxx and a Homegoods in town. We made four trips, and always came back with a loaded vehicle!
This chair was our favorite find! You can't tell from the photo, but the front is linen, and the back of the chair is burlap! Love it!
