Our house this year is a woodland glamour Christmas fantasy land. Since I am sharing our lake house on this tour it seemed perfect to go a different direction than our home in Illinois. I had so much fun stretching my decorating style. The house is filled with teal, turquoise soft greens and white, Stars are blended in with Curly Willow branches made into trees, Faux fur and blankets with pillows galore to snuggle in for a long winters night. The Kitchen and dining area have touches of red with snowmen greeting you at the door. I will stop my chatter and invite you into my home. You many leave your shoes on or put them under the bench transformed from a bed.
Come along as we visit the dining and living rooms first. You will see the beauty of the sun as it sets. I call it chasing the light in the winter although as you can see the shadows create some pretty photographs. I have been know to buck the system of blog lighting and erasing all the shadows. To me the dance of the light is part of lifes beauty.
This time of day I am snuggling under a warm afghan watching the sunset in one of these two rooms. The porch is the best place to see the sunset. I think God paints the most gorgeous skies in the winter.
The second place to enjoy this holiday season is in the living room with a cozy fire.
On to our room before the day is gone, Here is where I added a little glamour in the woods, Every girl needs her sparkle am I right ladies? To think Prince Charming said no ruffles when we were first married, After 32 years poor PC has been broken down.
This sweet paper mache snowman is sending you off to the boys room where Christmas trees are for sale and a few deer dropped by from the forest,
A Quick stop in the powder room since I added just a touch of woodland and glamour. Can you find the snow in this room? It is very practical (Hint, Hint)
Into the kitchen we must go....... Oops sorry I haven't any cookies baked yet, Would you like Hot Cocoa? There is touch of red in our kitchen Christmas decor with a sprinkle of turquoise in the towels. Tiny touches on the counters and a picnic basket bring me joy in this room.
A last peek at our guest room on your way back to the entry. Did you notice the deeper color rug for winter? I added a few deeper pillows and a white fur one on the seat too, My family just completed this space in the spring, I am so proud to have designed it and the Kedzuch team worked together to make my dream come true.
Oh no! I am sorry to see you go. You are welcome back anytime now Ya hear!
Our built in even includes a special feeding spot for Cricket. The bench is hiding our slide out recycle bins and the lovely water cooler, Oh no our time is done! You are welcome back anytime now Ya hear!

Karen I don't know where to start, how about nice touch with the dragon fly! That white tree shape is amazing and vignette after vignette brings such beauty from old and new. The silver vase and collection of Christmas greenery is gorgeous. I love the little spots to snuggle up. Looks like an especially relaxing getaway for the holiday!
Everything is so lovely. I especially love the stars and the dragonflies. Christmas in every room! I really want pillows now. I did not know what to ask for for Christmas from my inlaws, but I think I am going for a sewing machine.

A second home, what a gorgeous retreat.
I noticed all the little dragonflies on the wreath, on the metal vase, and the sparkly candle holders.
Congratulations on your sons engagement.
I laughed when I saw your dog, he/she is certainly ready for the holidays. I am here, on the couch, when do the goodies get here. lol
You seem all set for a really Merry Christmas. Thanks for sharing. Leanna
Thanks for sharing. The shadows do create interesting photos. It looks like your second home is so nice and cozy. Love the paper mache snowman. Did the kids make it? Congratulations on your sons engagement. Something to look forward to. Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas.
I enjoyed the tour and your tour guide is a sweetie. Every room is a feast for the eyes. You did an excellent job.
Karen - Your lake house seems cozy and relaxing, and I am glad you left the play of light and shadows in the dining room. Cricket is too adorable; he seems to be very comfortable in front of the camera! That hutch is absolutely stunning - can't get over all the detail. And I also like the dragonflies over the mantle - very festive! Those pillows in the boys room are classics - great vintage feel! I hope your Christmas on the lake is very merry!!
Karen, your home looks beautiful and so cozy. Thanks for the tour!
Everything looks so nice! I love the hutch and the branches with the stars, it' all it so nice and airy. Thanks for the homw tour.

Karen!!!! I Love your lake home. I just need to come over and watch a sunset with you. Your photos with the sunlight are perfect. I am glad you left them as is. There is something very magical about them. I love the woodland touches you used with your holiday decorating. The dragonflies are stunning. I have dragonflies in my holiday decor in honor of my dad. I also LOVE the pillows. Would you give Cricket a big hug for me? Thanks for having me over!
Firstly thank you for the warm cocoa! Karen your lake house is amazing! I love all of your stars and touches of woodland! And of course your dragonflies!! Thank you so much for opening your home to us and sharing! :-)
Karen, Thank you for opening up your home! I loved touring it probably as much as you enjoy relaxing there! I loved how you were able to decorate for the boys room in a way that was true to boys but still Christmasy! Merry Christmas to you!
Beautiful! I especially love the stars with the deer head.
Congrats on your son's engagement! And all the decor is just beautiful. I love how the sun streams through the dinning room, too!!!
Such a pretty place to get away from the mayhem of everyday life! Loving your lake time clock! I may need to find one of those for our place too. Cheers!
