I've had lake houses on my mind all week. We just returned from a fun weekend at Missouri's Table Rock Lake, which is a gorgeous lake in Branson. As much as I love the beach, having a second home only a couple hours away makes much more sense. However, you'll see from this post, I haven't totally abandoned my beachy style.
And now you will see what a huge nerd I am. When I get inspired, I love to do a
mood board. It gets the bee out of my bonnet. Well, this week, I was
real inspired.
I don't need much when it comes to a lake house. A big kitchen, open family room, a couple of bedrooms and, of course, an amazing view.

While I'd love a big white house like in the first image, I also love the quiet coziness of this little cottage.
A big, open, white kitchen is a must for me because I love to cook.

Hopefully, the kitchen opens up to a big family room.
Ooh I have to add a sleeping porch!
And now for zee moodboardz ...
 |
| Lake House Living Room |
White walls, white painted wood floors, slip covered seating (for dirty lake-covered children to roll around on), lots of blue and white, and don't forget the dog bed.
 |
| Lake House Bedroom |
Rustic furniture mixed with elegant monograms, blue and white bedding, beautiful view and a
picture of two puppies cuddling.
 |
| Lake House Bunk Room |
Simple bunk room for all of the little kiddies to stay. (Yep, I incorporated
a mural. What do you think yay or nay?)
 |
| Lake House Guest Bedroom |
So there you have it, my dream lake house! What do you think? Would you come play?
