So happy to be here today
sharing some bits and pieces of our Lake Home!
Thank you, Debbie, for treating us to these tours.
It’s fun to get a glimpse of how friends decorate and live in their homes.
Welcome Deb from Lake girl Paints
When Mark and I became empty nesters
we moved to the Lake.
Living at the lake is mostly about the outdoors.
But when you live on a lake in Nebraska,
you better enjoy the inside too!
So this is the lake side view of our home.
(minus a few summer patio plants, red umbrella, tiki torches…)
Well, you get the idea.
It’s January
and this is our view today…
So, come inside
and I’ll show you the view from the inside out.
Now for the inside…
You can find paint details on The Starbucks Snowman Tray here
This is my kitchen.
Over by the fridge in the corner
we keep a drink station when we entertain.
Right now it looks like this.
I painted a digital art poster in photoshop
and switched out her summer hat
to winter warmers.
In the summer she looks like this.
We have stained concrete floors which I love.
It is so practical to sweep up sand from swimmers.
If you’ve visited my blog before
you have probably seen this corner many times.
I use it to photograph a lot of painted furniture.
I have tutorials on the Painted Sideboard, the Barnwood Backdrop,
You can also find details on the Photo Display Board
At the top of the stairs is my paint table.
The upstairs is open to the master bedroom in the back.
I have my old new Rocker in the corner.
Here is one of our bathrooms
with the Route 66 Canvas.
Love my work area!
It was fun to show you some of our home spaces.
I especially like it when those spaces are filled with
chatting and laughter.
Thank you for coming on the tour!
Here’s to Happy Handmade Homes!

Love this tour!~ Different right?
Even though it’s cold there, it sure looks warm and cozy at Debs house.
Hop on over and say hello to her if you don’t know her already.
P.S. Today I am house crashing Suzy from Worthington court.
She is kicking off a fun series called House snooping, and I am the first snoop.

Pat says
January 5 at 3:19 pmBeautiful home! I love the kitchen and the work space upstairs. I’m sure the warm weather views are just as gorgeous as the winter scene.
My brother & s-i-l redid my mother’s home. They ripped out all the flooring and stained the concrete. Looks gorgeous! They also added concrete counter tops in the kitchen…absolutely gorgeous and you would never know.
Thanks to both of you for sharing!

May 4 at 7:29 pmHello-What a beautiful home! After looking at hundreds of photos of stained concrete floors, yours are definitely my favorite. Is there any way you can share the stain color with me? I’m looking at the picture under your caption about how easy they are to sweep up the sand. Thanks so much!
