This lakeside retreat, nestled amongst old trees and beautiful gardens, has an "Old School" feel to it! Our delightful clients, a family with three active teenagers, cherish the comfort and practicality of the porch. The teak chair and daybed, appropriately upholstered with indoor/outdoor acrylic fabric from Holy Hunt, are resistant to moisture and sun fading. The black slate floor and Douglas Fir paneling can weather our turbulent Minnesota storms. Architect James Dayton, connected the screen porch addition with french doors leading to the family room. This bow-shaped screen porch is ideal for lazy afternoons reading a great book on the daybed swing or enjoying dinners by candlelight. We imbued the space with colors, reminiscent of Indian oil jars-paprika, curry and ochre. Pillows were designed from Burmese and Thai textiles. The hunt and the gather of the assorted pieces weave together an interesting story. Now that I have just given you a glimpse of the story in MPLS.ST.PAULmagazine, get your own copy and browse through this great September issue. Shawn Gilliam, the Homes Editor for the magazine, produced a great collection of stories. Stay tuned-I'll always keep you posted on future publications!
