...at the lake house for which we made this little desk using wood from the crates in which our chimney stone was transported as well as these great IKEA legs... What do you think? Here's a closer look:
And why not just throw in a crochet-trimmed cushion to make the chair a bit more comfy while blogging?!...
As you can see, the floors still need to be done, the windows trimmed and, for the most part, paintings are not hung on the walls because everything still needs to be painted... But who really cares when you can sit at a desk with a lovely view of the lake, listening to all the "happy sounds" coming from there! And might I add what a simple pleasure it is to be able to quickly run out into a wildflower patch and make dainty bouquets to sweeten little corners of the house!...
Before parting, I'd just like to thank all of you who kept visiting my blog this summer despite my long absences and send out a special thanks to the authors of all the sweet comments and emails I received throughout the summer! I should be back very soon with more glimpses of our lake cottage...
The sweetest corner! Such prettiness! xo Heather

What a lovely table. Just the place to sit and stare out of the window , thinking about nothing in particular.

Fab corner. Simplicity rules. I am so envious of your sweet cottage by the lake. Wish I could come and visit to pick some of those adorable flowers with you, sit on your bargain bench with one of your signature crochet trimmed pillows under my bum... That would be nice. Looking forward to your next post whenever that happens. I am not going anywhere and will always visit in cyber space.
