A Lake House Christmas Tour

I love being inspired.   Sometimes I have an idea of what look I am going for and just need some help getting started, and sometimes I hit a road block and need a jolt.  I utilize the internet to it’s full potential when it comes to decorating.  I follow so many blogs and like the rest of you get lost on Pinterest.  And then there are the days when I just visit a friend’s home and they are all the inspiration I need.  Mic and Ralph have an amazing home on the lake.  She is one I run to for ideas, and I can always count on her to tell me that there are NO rules 😀 .

I love everything about Mic and Ralph’s home.  They have spent  years perfecting each avenue and it’s nothing short of breathtaking.  You are greeted by an amazing curved stairway and railing leading to their front porch.  I love the  copper post caps, and the Christmas garland is perfect.  I so hope to share some decor enthusiasm with you as you browse through and tour their beautiful lake home.

Love this idea with the bird bath.  This the inspiration I am talking about!  You don’t have to have giant ornaments to use this idea in creating your own bird bath masterpiece.

Mic’s home is the perfect combination of rustic-elegance.  She protrays lake living at it’s finest.

I honestly didn’t even know where to begin when uploading all the photos I took.  I will just take you step by step into her cozy living space.  My “captioning” these photos will not do them justice,so just sit back, swoon, and take in some ideas.

Thank you so much for taking time to visit.  As always, I hope you were inspired and perhaps grabbed a new idea.   Big thanks to Mic and Ralph for inviting me in and allowing me to share your style <3 .
