Camp just grew one tiny cottage biggerWeve been making offers on this teeny little house for over a decade. Steps from camps entrance. Built in 1929 – its a tiny little cedar shake shingle and stone baby lake house. (What it lacks in size it makes up for with a great view of the lake).It only has one mini bedroom, but every wall in every room is wood clad – (I love wood walls so much it makes my heart hurt). The lovely senior school teacher who lived here for over 50 years treated the wood walls religiously to keep it like new. And we love her for it. Ive been dreaming of green plush wall to wall carpeting for years – and finally found a home for it. (Its the first thing weve done here so far). Next up: as soon as the weather breaks, the gray shingles are going green, some landscaping surgery. Next well restore the stone cladding the front, and get this stone fireplace fired up again. Whoever built it must have had grand plans that they never completed – (its a double decker, with another full sized wood burning fireplace on the lower level).A few snaps of our progress – the furniture weve collected so far, the inspo for my green carpet obsession, a pre-vis of the bathroom, the Cherokee Red Frank Lloyd Wright concrete floor. Weve been scouring the Midwest for MCM stove & fridge. (Anybody got a mint condition MCM fridge they wanna part with??)Grateful to our talented dear friend @f.i.n.n.e.y.f.i.n.n.e.y has christened this house with its very first piece of art (above the cabinet stereo). The other 1971 painting was an estate reseller score that we found on Facebook marketplace.Were so excited to breathe new life into this place. Its our new house of many uses for friends and family, creatives and projects. A space for making things and plans. And things we dont even know yet.Grateful to the prior owner (Ginny) for all the good residual energy she left here for us. We think she would like what were about to do. We hope so.
