the new ‘scoutmaster room’ in the main lodge is finally getting broken in this season. (lesson learned: 50’s ‘pickwick’ pine board wall paneling takes SIX Individual full coats of amber varnish to nail the historically accurate color) ugh. // photo: @cbobfoto (part of our upcoming collab with @jolinerivera)
WE CANT BELIEVE THEY FOUND THIS! A friend of ours shared with us some super 8 footage of himself & friends in 70’s of Lake Wandawega & teenage mischief here in Elkhorn. We love it when folks find and share this stuff with us. Short film on todays blog (link in todays profile .: http://tinyurl.com/ja5tlfq

WE CANT BELIVE WHAT THEY FOUND. A friend of ours shared with us some super 8 footage of himself & friends in 70’s of Lake Wandawega & the local town. We love it when folks find and share this stuff with us. Short film on today’s blog (link in today’s profile line.) Toga weddings, reefer filled summertime, cliff diving.: https://vimeo.com/164844096
Finishing stages (white floor inside) & cedar planks going into today outside…
…A-frame coming to life now // black cedar walls, recycled old Boy Scout pier decking out front. ( the neighbor’s dog seems to like it)
…3k hilltop perch project… (Glass wall in lake view side is throwing us over budget a few hundred bucks) But still determined to keep her cheap & cheery.
Mornings like this make us think that there might actually be a place called heaven – and we thank that place for sending us beams like this // part of a special project with our good friends photographer Bob Coscarelli @cbobfoto and design director @jolinerivera
ITS HAPPENING. The $3k Retreat Project is well underway. She is sitting on the hilltop perch overlooking the woods and lake in front of our old BSA recycled cantilevered pier. The whole thing is an excercise in restraint. // Restrained budget (we’re kitting it out “found free & flea” Style in our Latvian-era Scandi inspired interior) // Restrained Size (shes only 10 feet tall with a standard utility shed sized footprint // Fav feature: Mobility (we can move her with several strong men or a bobcat). By the time we’re done, she will have gone up in under 6 days, born from a napkin sketch. Can’t wait to finish the interior this weekend as a bird watchers retreat. #TinyHousesOfWandawega
