Our Weekend And The Winner

We got away this past weekend to my parents log home in Wisconsin. We always have a great time whenever we visit.

Their house is walking distance to Lauderdale Lake and about fifteen minutes from Lake Geneva. Would you like a little peek inside? I thought you might.

The living room is open to the dining room and kitchen. I bought the two cane back chairs next to the fireplace at an auction for five dollars. My mom had the cushions made to fit, she loves those chairs and you can't beat the price.

The downstairs bathroom has a flagstone floor and stone shower.

They did all the work themselves.

We spend a lot of time in the screen porch when the weather is nice. The curtains are drop cloths from Home Depot. I could go on and on and show you so many cool details but that would make this a very long post!

We never run out of things to do when we visit...

We get out on the boat and I look at all the beautiful houses.

This is one of my favorites on the lake.

We play at the little beach.

And try to catch butterflies.

We eat yummy food made by a serious Weber grill collector we call Grandpa.


And end the day reading a book with Grandma and announcing the winner of the giveaway.


Congratulations Cassie

  21. Wow, what a beautiful house! Seems like the perfect place to hang out. Do you mind saying where your parents got the dining room table? That's exactly the style I'm looking for for our new house. THanks!

  22. i love that cabin! can you call it a cabin? love all the wood and rock. i can't think of a better way to spend a summer day than crusing in a boat looking at beautiful homes with a little cutie pie next to you.

  23. Bringing Pretty Back,
    So funny! My dad wants the big big one too! I never really realized how many he had until I was standing back to take a picture of the house, there they were all lined up nice and neat. Ha!

    Nicole,
    They bought the table at the Elkhorn Flea Market in Wisconsin about 5 years ago. Good luck with your search!
