I don’t know what it is about Wisconsin, but I’ve been choosing plenty of houses from Green Bay Packers country to feature on the blog. Today’s colorful beach bungalow by Virge Temme Architecture will cheer your heart and lift your spirits.
Pink and blue accents add cheer to the cottage style dining room above with a pretty white wicker chair. The flowers are probably from the surrounding garden.
The kitchen enjoys pops of green and blue with white cabinets and a blue tile counter top. Even the Kitchen Aid mixer joins in on the color scheme.

The white wood ceiling and wooden beams you see in the dining room and kitchen, continue into the living room with its patriotic furniture and rustic wood fireplace.

An upstairs bedroom enjoys a balcony with a lakefront view. Door County is on the northeastern peninsula of Wisconsin. My family and I had a fun vacation there a few years ago. It’s definitely worth the trip if you’ve never been.

How fun is this girl’s bedroom with its cottage style bed, shiplap walls, and brightly patterned bed spread? I love the bits of lime green in the space.

Another kids bedroom has built-in bunks under the many eaves of the beach bungalow. Fabric-lined baskets provide storage for toys and books.

I love this bedroom with its black iron bed and colorful bedding. Even the painted dresser and mirror help to create a fresh and fun look.

A view of the backside of the beach bungalow reveals its prime location on the bayside of the peninsula, which juts out into Lake Michigan.

Here’s a front view of the cottage style home that features more flowers that you saw indoors. The dark green siding blends beautifully with its surroundings while the white trim adds a bit of crispness.

What a darling cottage! Just looking at the pictures brightened my day! What lucky people to get to live in it!!
I am a Wisconsin girl and totally agree, if you have never been to Door County, it is a must place to see!! We call it the Cape Cod of the Midwest!!
This home is gorgeous!! I love the fun color scheme, it fits the setting. Beautiful pops of color to make you feel wonderful year-round. Thank you for sharing this!!
Wow, I love all the pops of color. Great location too!
A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E!!! I just love this home! The color scheme is sophisticatedly childlike. It is the perfect waterside home or anyplace home for that matter. Thanks so much for sharing. PS: I forgot to mention the amazing curbside appeal!
Love this!!!!
What a beautiful home. We are re-doing an old farm house, and after seeing these pictures… I am rethinking our entire project! I love everything about this home. Thank you for sharing!
Beautiful! Sure wouldn’t mind living there.
What a pretty cottage. It definitely brought a smile to my face with all the lovely colors. i am not a lime green person but that one bedroom it seemed so fitting. Thank you for the post.
I believe this would help anyone enjoy each day, it’s such a pretty and cheerful home. Thanks with the cold and snowy day, I needed this.
What a beautiful lake house. It’s warm and inviting.
Disappointment…I thought this was an Air B n B at first! I was so excited because it is just so darn darling in every way. The bright colors, the cottagey look, the lake setting. Everything. I re-scanned the article and realized it wasn’t a vacation rental and my heart sunk. Drat. Lucky people that live there. Please lift my spirits again, Jennifer, and send us some more fun rentals to check out. I think we are all going nuts ready to plan a little vacay. Thanks!
