Setting the perfect summer table really does make the food taste better--we tried it! By creating layers of texture through cloth napkins, woven placements, and ceramics, you can create a beautiful table display in minutes.

Reading nooks are some of the most coveted features in the home remodels that we undertake, and for good reason. Each nook becomes a vignette of pattern, texture, and coziness. It's perfect for lounging on a hot summer's day with a good book and for cuddling the winter chills away with a cup of cocoa. 

In Part I of this blog series, we toured the sitting room and nook of this charming lakeside cottage. Now, we're revealing the living and dining rooms in all their subdued, nautical glory. 

Our client's cottage is always full of laughter, people, bare feet, wet bathing suits, and furry paws. We took this into consideration when sourcing fabrics and rugs, knowing that each would be tested to the limit.

The end result? A beautiful cottage that can withstand a hurricane of hosting, celebrating, and living.

Our client's quaint, lakeside cottage was full of potential. Aside from its to-die-for setting on a beautiful lake, the cottage's interior was brimming with charm. All of its upholstered pieces were in great shape (except for the fabrics).

We were excited to get our hands on the living, sitting, and dining rooms--and we even created a cozy nook.

Your kitchen is easily the most unforgettable space in your home, trumping any great room, family room, or master suite. While the phrase, "the kitchen is the heart of the home," might sound cliche at this point, it is no less true. 

How do you show appreciation to the man in your life? Whether he's the father of your children, a father-figure, or just dad to a pet, this guy deserves a little pampering. In honor of him, we've handpicked our best gifts--straight from the Teaselwood Shop--to delight him this Father's Day.
