lakeside hide away

This A-Frame lake home was completely gutted and remodeled by Chris Olofson and sons. They are creative custom builders with an ability to take the word "custom" through the roof! This was a great project in Williams Bay Wisconsin for a young family of six ( triplets being three of the young children).
Project Cost: $200,001 - $500,000
Country: United States
Others who worked on this project: Longleaf Lumber Inc
The builder's son came up with this charming door under the stairs to the "secret hide out". The homeowners have triplets and a fourth young child who were thrilled with a place of their own! Every inch of this remodel was built on character...character...character!
fun kids playroom under stairs
The existing structure of this lake home leaned toward a mid-century remodel. Deciding what to emphasize and what to alter was the key to transporting this cottage back into the future. Everything was stained knotty pine and when the walls came down to open up the space we also lightened up with...
lots of light living room
The honeycomb tile inset is my favorite! Just enough, but not too over the top for this cottage of character!

The long window bench serves as a place for the kids to hang out, plus offers storage for all the toys and crafts that also come out when they are up at the lake. Everything was stained knotty pine and when the walls came down to open up the space we also lightened up with some paint. Reclaimed...
the new A -frame
Crystal door knobs were high on the list from day one. When you grow up with them in your hand and in your memories... they need to be a part of your charming summer home!

modern living in rustic
All of the cabinets and built-ins were custom for this cottage. This is natural hickory and TINY... but the drawer and rail shelf maximize the storage without compromising the charm.
tiny vanity
A bathroom that invites you to hang out for awhile! Small in scale but LARGE in style...that's what I think.
love this bath
Keeping the wood beams and ceilings, and enhancing them with natural oils was the ticket to success with this older A frame cottage. Painting out the walls was the second ticket. The marriage of materials keeps this cottage cozy and still fresh at the same time.

The Kitchen re-design is built around work stations. Clean up, cooking, and preparing meals all work in zones. The island is truly an "island" in that it floats between the living room and the work zones. The deep drawers of the island make it an ideal prep zone where the kids can all be a part,...

perfect sized island
This laundry sink has a custom wood work surface where the sink can become a flush folding zone, by the simple lift of the center board. The hole serves as both a way to lift the board and as a drain in case the water mistakenly gets turned on. The wall mounted spout on the faucet also swivels out...

wood beams are perfect here
The long window bench returns into the banquette seating area. This was a great solution for both rest and play! The storage drawers are perfect for tucking away kid stuff, and the overstuffed cushions invite for a soak in the sun.

Yellow interiors were at the request of the homeowner! I think that everyone who has custom cabinets built should add this kind of flavor to their projects! Everything about this little bath screams VACATION!!!
go for the yellow interior
The 12x24 Herringbone tile pattern is just one more level of interest in this great little cottage packed with texture and fun!

Drop in sinks with wall mounted faucets are perfect in casual settings. With the 8" penny tile backsplash inset in board and batten walls~ everything white adds more dimension!

With the lower ceilings in this cottage basement we had to figure out how to maximize the bunk space without banging heads. This box mount on the floor solution did the trick. The column adds support and makes the bunks appear to be floating. The stained wood ladders that become safety rails are...

When everything is built to order, even the desk can be based on personal wishes! Isn't this charming and a perfect fit for a niche' space?

The lower level has "not so high" ceilings! But that didn't stop us from adding shallow beams and painted out wood on the ceilings and the walls... more makes everything feel like more!

floating vanity
The blue glass accent wall reads like a water fall when you are in need of some spa days at the lake! Although quite small ( this vanity is only 18" wide)... the shower could almost fit two!

The barn track sliding shower door is refreshing and also functional for a small bath where the door swing would not be an option.

This is a great kitchen remodel with zones in mind. There is space for family in the work space and friends all around. This mix of mid century modern and cut- cottage -meets -rustic amounts to a lot a family gatherings and FUN!
the kitchen space
This pantry is just off the kitchen and so the additional counter space is ideal for more prep space if needed. The interior was customized with hand shaped corbels and slide out trays.

great kitchen
This is one of my favorite staircases ever! This builder was creative to a fault! When we asked for rounded accents and this was what he worked out with us.... we knew that the highest level of "custom" had been met! This is the view looking down from the main floor on to the landing.
