If you have been following along on instagram, you know that I designed three kitchens....a galley kitchen, an "L shaped" kitchen, and a "U-shape" kitchen. After hours of staring at the space, any many sleepless nights, I decided to go with the U-shaped kitchen which allows for the most counter space! 

If you have been following along on Instagram, you know that the lakehouse bathroom has been entirely gutted. We did not have plans to remove the cast iron tub, or rip out the ceiling, yet, here we are. It's a little bit of a nightmare! Pictures below. However, the deeper the gut, the "newer" and nicer the room will feel in the end. We are thrilled to have a brand new tub, new drywall, and a new ceiling along with the other finishes, 

Today, we are sharing an overview of the renovation plan for the lake house! We will dive into each space in greater detail in future posts. For now, here is a rough outline of what we would like to do to the home, including some pictures that are serving as inspiration! 

Throughout the years, you've asked for more insight on the design process...and we've listened! So, going forward, I am going to begin sharing more of how we design our spaces. The first decision we ultimately make is what  "theme" suits the home. Typically, factors that help us select a theme are existing features of the home, location, and original architecture. Next, we consider personality. If we were helping a client design a home, I would try to nail down their personal preferences and lifestyle so that I could design a space that reflects them. For example, for our residences, this translates to minimal decor and clean spaces.

Are y'all ready to see what we are working with for our lake house project?! This house has as much potential as any we've done...but it's going to take a lot of hard work, patience, and creativity. We've already run into obstacles, requiring us to think outside the box with the layout and design. It wouldn't be a renovation without unforeseen obstacles, right? Without further ado, here is the first look at #HTlakehouse! 

We loved hearing your guesses on Instagram as to what our big news would be! For those of you who guessed that we bought an Airbnb, you were right! For those of you who guessed we are moving, you were also right! (for the 5th time in under 4 years! I know, I know, you are laughing!)
​We've been keeping this quiet for a while, and my insides have been screaming to tell y'all. WE ARE SO EXCITED FOR THIS RENOVATION!! More excited than ever before! Okay, where to start with this story.... We bought this property right before Christmas. It was extremely impulsive, 0% premeditated.
