Behind the pond is a storm drain at the lowest point of the two adjoining yards. Last year we built a berm around it to prevent storm water from entering it and put two rain gardens surrounding it. In front of one of the rain gardens is the pond. Water sheets down the backyard lawn, into the pond, and then overflows into the rain garden. Species in front of the pond are Southern Blue Flag Iris and Marsh Marigold. Behind the pond in the rain garden are only two species - Brown Fox Sedge and Cardinal Flower (if you look closely you will see the red flowers).

Designed by Interior Designer, A. Lantz Design, this Lake Charlevoix project was featured on the cover of Traditional Home magazine! This nautical, whimsy guest bathroom design packs a punch! A custom red-painted vanity with matching mirror against the blue and white striped wallpaper make for a perfect lake house bathroom. Textured, white glossy tile compliments the colors and patterns around the space while the black nautical wall sconce, plumbing, and hardware give weight to the design. Vintage boat flags were framed and hung in the space.

Low voltage landscape lights from CAST lighting are a great way to illuminate gardens, walkways, and homes at night. They are also extremely energy efficient and therefore are quite inexpensive to run throughout the year. This particular application features area lights along the garden edge to create a definition of the space and a directional light on the ornamental tree to add nighttime interest to the focal point.

Removing foliage and adding ember resistant materials under the home's eves created patio seating from a walkway. The homeowers delight in the mix of natural and river rock - and being able to host more friends. The metal furnishings are non-combustible and can stay put on red flag days.
