A place on the lake – it draws you in, wraps you in a hug, and invites you to stay a while. Living lakeside provides a front row seat to one of nature’s more beautiful aspects – channeling serenity and balance to be enjoyed no matter the season.
We brought these feelings into our client’s home with a palette of sunny and woody white tones, botanical inspired rugs, watery glass, and artworks of nature and wooden birds. By painting the window trim and walls the same sunny white, we blurred the divide between outdoors and in – inviting the lakeside vibe inside.
Although we cleaned up the lines with modern simple styling, we were sure to keep our client’s love for her cherished family heirlooms uppermost in our minds. All agree that her antiques and art collections are all the more beautiful in their new surroundings.
Where we started …

…and where we landed (transforming the home into a bright and inviting place for family and friends to gather).

Testimonial: For many years I have tried to be a self decorator. I spent a lot of time and money picking out the wrong things that did not work in my house – resulting in frustration and wasted effort and resources. Finally I saw the light and reached out to Deborah who offered wise advice and guidance. She is wonderful to work with, very responsive and has a great sense of humor. The result of my experience with her is that I have been able to finally enjoy my home and love how it looks! – Holly L
Thank you so much for your kind words, Holly. Sometimes we need a decorator’s eye to see the forest AND the trees. 🙂 I’m delighted I was able to assist and I love how it turned out! Wishing you many happy memories in your happy home. – Deborah
