Weekend inspiration: the lake house

 

 Another weekend, another bachelorette party. This weekend I’m heading home to Pennsylvania as a bridesmaid to celebrate my friend Lauren’s bachelorette party. We’re spending the weekend at our friend’s lake house, which inspired me to look at lake house decor.

My mind instantly went to a photo of Bravo’s Million Dollar Decorator, Jeffrey Alan Marks’, master bedroom. He suspended a vintage Abercrombie & Fitch canoe from the ceiling, and I couldn’t be more in love.

You may recognize the next concept from a previous blog post that I wrote about sliding bar doors. The doors below are the perfect addition to a room in a lake house. Swoon.

 

You can’t do lake house without some Americana inspiration. Check out this distressed American flag wooden piece. I first saw it on the cover of the July 2011 Ethan Allen catalog. Hello, I need you in my life.

 

While I did get a little sticker shock with this piece ($899!) it’s so classic. I love how it looks over this couch.

 

How funky is this oar headboard featured on Bees Knees Bungalow? Perfect for a guest room in a lake house.

 

And finally, you can’t have a lake house without some adirondak chairs on your dock. Now that’s what I call relaxation…

 

Hope that everyone has a wonderful summer weekend! I’ll be spending mine on the dock at Lake Harvey!
