Cottage Home, Inc.Cottage Home, Inc.
This fantastic Lake Michigan home offers its owners quiet and retreat – while loudly boasting some amazing interior and exterior features. This lake home is nestled at the end of a long winding drive and at the top of a breathtaking Lake Michigan bluff. Extensive designing and planning ensured that every living space and bedroom has outstanding lake views. This lake home carries a light-hearted, beachy theme throughout – with welcoming blues and greens – accented by custom white cabinetry and superior trim details. The interior details include quartz and granite countertops, stainless appliances, quarter-sawn white oak floors, Pella windows, and beautiful finishing fixtures. The exterior displays Smart-Side siding and trim details, a screen room with the EZEBreeze screen system, composite decking, maintenance-free rail systems, and an upper turret to the most pristine views. This was an amazing home to build and will offer the owners, and generations to follow, a place to share time together and create awesome memories. Cottage Home is the premiere builder on the shore of Lake Michigan, between the Indiana border and Holland.

Garden and Outdoor Space Ideas and Designs

Our gardens and outside spaces deserve as much attention as our interiors – they can provide the first impression of our homes to visitors, a sanctuary to escape to in warm weather and an additional living and entertaining space. While not all of us are blessed with large gardens and bags of outside space, there are plenty of ways of improving what you do have and making it work for you. Perhaps you only have a roof terrace or balcony? You can still get green-fingered with plant pots and raised flower beds, and you can create an outdoor haven with decking, seating, outdoor lighting and various accessories to entice everyone outside. If you do have a bit of space to play with outside, then aside from a lawn in your garden, you could add some extra elements to help you enjoy the space even more. Adding a patio will give you the perfect area for dining, lounging or even a bit of outdoor cooking, and if you choose to go for a veranda you’ll have a bit of shelter from the hot sun or the rain while still enjoying being outdoors. If space and budget aren’t too much of a problem then a swimming pool or hot tub could be next on your list. Take a look at the various garden photos, as well as veranda, terrace and balcony, patio, lawn and swimming pool ideas that are available on Houzz to help you decide what you’d like in your garden or slice of outdoor oasis.
