Lakeside Live, Work, Retreat <\/strong>
\nUp North lakeside living all year round. An outdoor lifestyle\u2014and don\u2019t forget the dog. Windows cracked every night for fresh air and woodland sounds. Art and artifacts to display and appreciate. Spaces for reading. A love of turquoise blue. LiLu Interiors helped a cultured, outdoorsy couple create their year-round home near Lutsen as a place of live, work, and retreat, using inviting materials, detailing, and d\u00e9cor that say \u201cWelcome,\u201d muddy paws or not.<\/p>\nWhen the couple found their perfect site on a small inland lake, the property had a house with an addition. They kept the addition as guest quarters. Within the older structure, SALA Architects inserted timber frame construction within existing walls, then created an open kitchen\/living\/dining area with stone hearth, along with two bedrooms, baths, offices, and a movie room. LiLu added the delight.<\/p>\n

Turquoise is a Favorite<\/h2>\n
\u201cLiLu gave us a turquoise-green slate floor for the living areas, which was brilliant,\u201d says the homeowner. \u201cWe appreciate it every day, especially during mud season with the dog in and out.\u201d LiLu highlighted her collection of turquoise-blue glassware and Native American artifacts, and created lighted shelves along a stairway for her books, \u201cwhich makes me so happy,\u201d she says. \u201cI couldn\u2019t have done this without LiLu; their expertise in finding and placing the fixtures was essential.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cozy Living<\/h2>\n
A built-in window seat on one side of the fireplace, and overlooking the lake, provides her with a spot \u201cto curl up with a good book.\u201d A built-in kitchen banquet (note the textile\u2019s light turquoise-blue stripe) accommodates the whole family when the kids come to visit. The walls of the more formal dining room are a red fabric wallpaper \u201cthat\u2019s rich, warm, and makes the room special,\u201d says the homeowner. The home is a lake spirit retreat.<\/p>\n

Resort Touches<\/h2>\n
The spa-like master bath includes a river rock and turquoise-green slate floor, and turquoise-blue countertops. \u201cI never could have articulated that\u2019s what I wanted in the bath,\u201d says the homeowner, \u201cbut after picking out materials I liked, LiLu immediately understood.\u201d Because the couple lives many miles from a cinema, and love to settle in with popcorn and a good film, LiLu outfitted them with a media or movie room downstairs. \u201cIt\u2019s the right size, so cozy, and a really enjoyable space,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

A Dream Realized<\/h2>\n
\u201cLiLu was so adept at giving us amazing choices,\u201d she adds. \u201cThey told us, \u2018You should love everything.\u2019<\/p>\n
That was so liberating, and helped us realize and fully live in the home we\u2019ve always dreamed of in the North Woods.\u201d<\/p>\n
