She Should Have Been A Buyer

The mist was still hovering over the property when we arrived. (Do you believe I put my camera case down on her silk cushion?)  

Thank goodness for a compass to show us our way. 

A peek to the north brought us into the reading room.

A gracious foyer.

Which way shall I look? Up, down and all around...

...to see the beautiful craftsmanship.

As the mist receded and the light started filtering into the rooms.

Such a gentle color of blue.

The woodworker obviously in love with his craft. 

The freshness of the blue and green. 

The chairs in this grouping are as comfortable as they are fun. 

Such a happy color combination. Never over the top, just cheerful and merry. 

A lively color palette.

Great light throughout. 

Even the corners have something pretty to see. 

A porch with a masterful view. 

If you wonder what the kitchen looked like...well the girls were sitting there and I forgot to get a picture. 


There is so much more to this home than I can squeeze into this blog post. To sum it up, the owner should be a buyer for a classy furniture store. Her take on Theodore Alexander would do him proud! These are just a few photos of the interior. This woman needs to take a bow. From the land she designed the house and all the architectural details from the outside in. She narrowed her sights and never lost control of the finished vision. It was a misty and rainy morning and I didn't take any photos of this Cape Cod on the cliff of Lake Michigan. Sorry to have missed the views.
