I have been working with a client in Minnesota over the past couple
months. ?The family of six recently purchased their 'forever' home -
located very near a lake where they enjoy boating and swimming.
The great room is the first room you see when you walk in the home.
The design was inspired by the client's favorite piece of art
{included above}. ?The room needs to be a comfortable space
for entertaining and family activities.
While many might automatically think of white slipcovers and striped cotton
rugs when they think lake house design - this house is in Minnesota. ?And
having lived in Minnesota for a couple years, I know that the chilly
climate calls for a warmer lake house design. ?A lighter, California beachy
style would be out of place in the upper midwest. ?The design includes
a sailboat model for the fireplace mantle, neutral chenille slipcovers?
?on the pair of Lee sofas,?warm woods and texture
with baskets to store extra pillows and/or a cuddly
throw for a cold winter's night. I designed a
space that is pretty much all about tradition but with some
contemporary elements, like the floor lamp, included for this young family.
********
Have a wonderful weekend - stay warm for all of you
in those colder climates! ?
I will be enjoying some precious one on one time with my little
girl while the big girl and the hubby are away for
a soccer tourney. ?
