I had the privilege of helping homeowners update their lake house. We did a little in most every room but the biggest changes were made in the main living areas. The homeowner started with paint on the walls, then called me. I would have recommended a few other updates before the paint (for instance removing popcorn :-)). However, with a little time, nautical decor and updating the most important features – its now a fresh, charming get-away ready for lake fun!!
BEFORE – charming lake house in need of better furniture placement
AFTER first update; adding new decor, light fixtures and repositioning the furniture
AFTER second phase of update – painting fireplace and exterior doors
AFTER (would have added a rug to ground room but its a lake house so homeowner preferred not to have rugs)
