Lake Camp Revamp

I mentioned a few posts back that we've had access to a little lake cabin just down the road from us. I also mentioned that I couldn't resist doing some of my own re-styling while I was there. After all, what are camps for anyway?  Hmmmm? 

This IS relaxing! Of course, it is. OK, it's the prerequisite TO relaxation....at least in my book. Relax...Re-style....Re-decorate....Revamp....it's all the same.

Now the fun part of the styling game is that you have to use what's already there....or whatever you might have on hand in the closet (or camper, in my case). No running out to T.J. Maxx and Target....or the nearest antiques mall. Oh no. This is the quickie cheap revamp of the camp. Rule #1:  Only use what you have on hand. So here we go...

And before we leave the living area, I'll show you this nook on the other side of the couch and wood stove. I moved the rocking chair and side tables over here to hold bags and toys. This is also where we put the trundle bed for our son to snooze on...

Unfortunately, I don't have any before photos of the little bedrooms. Suffice it say, they didn't look like this. One bedroom had no bed at all. The other bedroom with the Victorian oak headboard was facing the other direction and had a blow-up mattress and swim floaty on it.

Daddy also moved the rope swing to a new location....

more swing out, more action! : D
