Open House Sunday

Lighthouse Cove Cottage

Doesn't this look like the ideal place to spend an early fall weekend?

Today's open house is a new home built to look old.

It's designed by

This home was built on Lake Winnipesaukke in New Hampshire. 

TMS architects created a home that respected the Lake's historic past.

The details in this house are quite cottage....but it's a large home.

This is "On Golden Pond"-ish for sure.

Some of the decor in this house is not to my liking but it would not take much to make this home perfection. 

The bones are there just some weird decor decisions made.

Like those terrible sconces and pendant lights. I do not like the artwork up there on the ledge.

Do like the sofa and side table.

That's a massive stone fireplace that I think would have been better with a more traditional mantel.

One in white...don't you?

That wolf painting front and center is just soooooo bad. 

Different art and this room would be great.

How gorgeous is this view out on to the lake?

I can just imagine having Thanksgiving with all the family in this setting.

That chandelier or flying saucer is very unfortunate.

Not crazy for the glass topped table either. 

A nice wood farm table would make this space a stand out.

The kitchen...oh...why didn't they go with white cabinets?

It would have been so much better. 

Yes, aren't those pendants hideous?

Not as ugly as those lights overhead though. Notice the newel posts reflect the lighthouse theme.

Just look at those views!

Nice simple guest bedroom.

Pretty vintage influenced bathroom. 

Again...terrible light fixtures.

This bathroom could have been better.

Now this bedroom...I love. 

Not the furniture but the alcove the bed is set into.

It adds so much charm to the room.

What a spot overlooking the lake! Yes, I would gladly spend a fall weekend here.
