The family purchased the 1950s ranch on Mullet Lake because their daughter dreamed of being married on its shores. The home would be used for the wedding venue and then as a wedding gift to the young couple. We were originally hired in August 2014 to help with a simple renovation of the home that was to be completed well in advance of the August 2015 wedding date. However, thorough investigation revealed significant issues with the original foundation, floor framing and other critical elements of the home’s structure that made that impossible. Based on this information, the family decided to tear down and build again. So now we were tasked with designing a new home that would embody their daughter’s vision of a storybook home – a vision inspired by another one of our projects that she had toured. To capture this aesthetic, traditional cottage materials such as stone and cedar shakes are accentuated by more materials such as reclaimed barn wood siding and corrugated CORTEN steel accent roofs. Inside, interior finishes include hand-hewn timber accents that frame openings and highlight features like the entrance reading nook. Natural materials shine against white walls and simply furnished rooms. While the house has nods to vintage style throughout, the open-plan kitchen and living area allows for both contemporary living and entertaining. We were able to capture their daughter’s vision and the home was completed on time for her big day. - Jacqueline Southby Photography

What's better than a leisurely breakfast in bed for newlyweds!?! These Mr. and Mrs. individual trays were made using vintage 1950s Kentley trays as the base, with original designed art prints decoupaged on top with 5 layers of hard-coat Mod Podge and a protective layer of polyurethane on top. Each carries copy that says "Breakfast in Bed with my One True Love" in an oval around the Mrs and Mr at center. The background is a lacy Victorian design that complements the shape of each tray. Each tray is 17.5 x 8.5". Because the bases are vintage, there may be signs of age, random marks, slight edge wear. This is part of the vintage charm of these pieces and does not detract in any way, or affect functionality. About the bases: Kentley trays were produced in the 1950s. They are large enough to hold a luncheon plate, cup and saucer, juice glass and silverware. They are made of pressed wood fibers and covered in fused lithographed paper that is water and alcohol resistent on both front and back. Part of my Ain't Love Grand™ line, these will be shipped with gift tag tied to a burlap ribbon. Care instructions will be included. (Wipe clean with a damp cloth and dry. Standing water may damage the finish, as it will with furniture, so it is recommended not to let spills or condensation settle for long.) –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– I have one more pair of trays in this black wood-look. I can customize with the names of the bride and groom (instead of Mr. and Mrs). Please convo me for this option...do not purchase from this page if you would like a custom design. Production time on custom frames is approximately 6 days, not including shipping. USD75

This is a stunning antique Art Deco four-tiered wedding cake chandelier, dating from the 1920s, and found in a home in Chicago, IL. This three-light “wedding cake” chandelier begins with a beautiful, molded glass baluster ornamented with stylized flowers. The baluster perches above a circular nickel roof; four tiers of sparkling "icicle" prisms suspend below the roof, finishing in a smooth glass ball. This light fixture is in very good condition; it has been professionally rewired and comes with all the necessary attachments for modern installation. The chandelier body is 15" wide and 25-1/2” tall; the fixture is 38” long overall. NC2296
