Welcome back to Day Three at the Lake House.
Today, I invite you to rest and relax, as we check out the spaces of sweet slumber.
This room is affectionately called Grandma Mattie's room.She visited quite often, (before she passed away), and this was "her room!"
The painting begins.... White walls painted a soothing Celedon.
This room holds many refurbished projects! The bed was a freebie, already painted white. The lamp was a thrift store find, cleaned, rewired, and a new lamp shade added. (My MIL's handiwork...Thanks!)
And the iron table was spray~painted white, from black.
The room showcases three paintings by a local artist, Ronald Williams.
Unfortunately, I only have pictures of 2 of them, below....
This cute little aqua lamp was another thift store treasure.
You will notice, that I didn't incorporate a lot of pillows and accessories, in any of the rooms. This is the "guest unit," and I wanted to keep it very simple.
I found this chair at the flea market for $20! It was a natural colored wood, and I painted it white, and gave the cushion new life....
And now moving across the hall, we have the second bedroom...
It was WHITE...like every other room in the duplex, and repainted a very pale green. This room opens through french doors, onto the porch facing the lake!
I just love this little frog, he was found at the State Flea Market...
The candle was Ashley's creation! That girl can do wonders with a hot glue gun!
Ashley was such a big help with this entire project. She has a good eye, and worked really hard painting and cleaning!
The rocking chair above, has been in the family for years, and the picture below was.....yeap, another thrift store find!
Hope you enjoyed today's tour. I will add a few pictures next week, of the outside and the upstairs unit. ~Rhonda :)

First and foremost I love the relax sign, how perfect for a vacation home on the lake! I love this style of decorating. It really is calming and perfect for a retreat. You have such a good eye. I love the candle Ashely made too. I wish we had flea markets here like other places in the country do. My daughter was in Texas for a week earlier this month and she came home and told me about a couple she went to. We both decided in Utah we're just too frugal bz we just find junk at ours. If you find a dresser most of the drawers are broken or missing, etc. I really like the furniture you've used also and the bedding. I want to move in!! LOL!
Everything is so tasteful, appealing and also you have given it a very calming look. Great!!

Loved the tour...
All of the decorating items seem so right for the Lake House...eye appealing but not a over-load.
Looking forward to more pics.
Have a enjoyable day!

I like how you added those shells and is that a cloche I see???... dont you just love those... enjoy that getaway place for me...Take care! Susie h~
Rhonda...I love what you've done with the lake house! So calm and relaxing. Just what is needed in a getaway place. We have a sign similar to yours. Ours says Lake Rules, relax relax relax. Another sign says, eat sleep fish.

Rhonda,
The rooms look cozy and inviting. Not too cluttered with stuff. I expecially like the bed frame in the room across the hall. I also like the star fish bedding in Grandma Mattie's room.

Hi Rhonda, I'm a little late making my rounds tonight. Oh, I'm loving the tour of your beautiful home! I love everything in your bedrooms. I'm getting sleeping now. Maybe I could over and be a guest in that lovely room?

Morning Scooter...I loved this tour..I'd want to be in that bedroom with the french doors facing that lake and I want to see little ducks swimming in the water and I want a chair down by the lake so I can sit and fish..and huh?..oh ..sorry..I thought you were taking quest request! lol Girl you are creating such a relaxing comfort zone that your family will enjoy for years to come. I love all the family treasures you are using in the room and that candle in the glass dome by Ashley is gorgeous!!! Girl I wish I had been as smart as you when I was younger and thought about doing such things for my family later on down the road...I use to want to own a country B&B but guess who my first 30 customers would be!!! lol lol Have a great day sweetie!!!! I love what you are doing...especialy because you are doing it with your heart with your family in mind!

Your lake house is just so charming, well decorated and very inviting. It looks like it would fit perfectly right here on Cape Cod!!
