Help: Who speaks Dutch?

The Dutch magazine Jackie featured Camp Wandawega in an article that we can’t read. It appears to be a lovely magazine, and we are grateful to be included! (I just hope it doesn’t say something like “open year-round” or “luxury”).

R.I.P. A very special visitor. Warning: tear-jerker.

I have to warn you : it might make you cry. (I haven’t stopped since I got it. And I’m still at the office, sniveling like a baby.) We got this email from a guest who booked a cabin this past fall – and it made me sad, but also grateful.

(Headless…but dishing out some sage advice on masculine decor). SIDE NOTE: we found this record player abandoned in an attic. score! From the story: “A character-filled, but masculine home isn’t always easy to accomplish, considering the seas of frills and florals that dominate most retail stores.This is largely why we created TRNK — an online resource for men who seek inspired homes. To start out, we’ve provided a short list of tips to help “beef up” your space without necessarily reverting to beer signs or bearskin rugs.” We loved this vintage record cabinet in Tereasa Surratt & David Hernandez’ Chicago home. It is…
