After over 100 years in my husband's family, we have had to say goodbye to his & our son's beloved private lake place & tree farm in Thomaston, GA🚣🏼♂️🎣🐟🥹
The stunning hand wrought iron chandelier hanging in the great room is from Portugal (original to the cottage) is a focal point in this Mid-Century Modern country lake cottage I renovated about 20 years ago. The pale blue ceiling & geometric angles of the white trusses, compliment the graceful curves of the bold black iron chandelier. I've always loved that contrast & juxtaposition.
Other details that were important to keep during the renovation were the vintage wicker pendants in the kitchen, along with some other quirky furnishings. The tile floors in the bathrooms were budget friendly, but laid out in a fun diagonal checkerboard pattern of light blue & creamy white tiles. The dining area features a custom made glass top picnic table & chairs which were updated with woven seat belt straps. Comfy furniture, a kitchen with open shelves for easy access to dinnerware & views all around were priority.
