Cabins and Vacation Homes: Friday Finds #100
Wow! I can’t believe this is the one hundredth edition of Friday Finds here on the blog. It seems like I only started this series a few months ago. Time needs to slow down – especially during the summer season. I always get a little melancholic this time of year even though I love fall. It’s just hard to bid farewell to summer.
This weekend I’m going kayaking. I tried it for the first time during our Wisconsin vacation last month and loved it. Hubby and I have gone canoeing but we tend to argue over the coordination of paddling. With a kayak, we can each have our own boat so the experience is more pleasant and peaceful, like it’s supposed to be. I’m still in summer mode which might explain today’s selection of Friday Finds featuring cabin inspiration.
Let’s start this week’s find with the ultimate vacation retreat that will remind you of childhood summers at camp. I had to look at this Midwestern camp compound several times to take it all in. The family renovated a boy scout camp and the result is pure heaven!
Next up is this charming cabin kitchen with a checkerboard floor and cabinets painted in Trailing Vine by Benjamin Moore. There are plenty of before and after photos so you can truly appreciate the work that went into the makeover.
Keeping with the summer vacation theme, here are 10 lake house decorating ideas that you can add to any room. I’ve always like the idea of decorating with oars.
If you’re looking for a charming, vintage place to stay on the eastern seaboard, look no further than The Groggy Anchor. Located in Provincetown, you can rent it for your next vacation.
One of my favorite home tours that I’ve featured here on Town and Country Living is this gorgeous lakeside estate. You might remember having seen it.
As always, I’ll end with a yummy recipe – in this case, it’s several recipes featuring icebox cakes. Which one looks most appealing to you?
Enjoy your weekend. I’ll be out on the local lake in a kayak – maybe both Saturday and Sunday if I can fit it in.
I agree with you, Jennifer, that a second scroll through the Midwestern Camp Compound was needed. So much coziness with all those pops of bright red. It’s making me look at my interior window panes and trying to decide of they need to be framed in red or blue. I’ve been toying with the idea of painting them for quite a while, and this may be the impetus I needed. Thanks for sharing, as always.
Oh, so much eye candy! Really enjoyed these. That camp compound is amazing.
Thank you for keeping summer going with your posts. Other blogs I follow are pushing fall and I just can’t get into that yet! It’s still summer in NJ and there are many beach days left. The icebox cakes look wonderful. I am archiving this post so I can try some of those recipes soon and in the future. Enjoy your weekend kayaking!
I loved all the different ideas for cabins, I would love to own one. It was hard to chose just one icebox cakes since going down the list I kept seeing something even tastier, what a great list of deliciousness.
Jennifer, savor your my kayak .My son
who is a catch and release fisherman in Delaware has been using his foot pump kayak instead of his boat this summer.
You wouldn’t believe the great pics he has of wildlife while on these adventures.
Do a post on this adventure. Enjoy!
