oakleyspanky Thanks ellen143! Those blinds are a really good suggestion...I think we plan to live through a year of seasons here and then decide about window covering in both the living/ dining area and the master. This is definitely the concept I want, the option to have all or nothing! Was considering drapery panels across whole wall but it may be hard to have them hang between the windows without covering up some view....your view is lovely also!

Paradise Restored Landscaping & Exterior Design Stop already! Your lake home is so lovely - every photo beeee-u-ti-ful! Nice choices and great style - it's definitely a keeper!

oakleyspanky I would try either a black or clear glass oval coffee table with a fluffy rug underneath

bottlegenie Decoenthusiaste, thanks for the very thoughtful comments and product suggestions.

decoenthusiaste Hope some of them work for you, bottlegenie!

oakleyspanky Sorry meant to post in before and after!

mypaleis loved it

oakleyspanky Thanks, we are loving it, although its kind of small...anyone know how I can move to do Before and After?

oakleyspanky Thanks Carolins!

I had the painters do the accent wall and two walls in the entryway in the Mystic Lake....needs one more coat tomorrow but I think it will really finish things off....I will post more pics then....

carolins Yes please, I'd love to see the effect of the accent walls. I'm sure it's looking good. You have great taste, judging by everything that's in there already.
