White Cottage Home Treasures And Special Shops

 

Terry and I went to our fave place in Michigan for Memorial Day.  Thought I would give you a little tour of this rental.  It had my name written all over it.
I was getting some things out of the car when we arrived and Terry went to open the door and go in.
He yelled Oh you are going to love this house.

He was so right.  Look at this kitchen.  All open and with those windows.  I love a kitchen with lots of light and windows.

As you can see the lake is right off the back of the house.  Every room has beautiful views.  This house was so full of light and windows.

This is the rec. room .  I did not take a picture but right around the corner is a play place for kids.  Full length chalk board and all kinds of books and games.
We are coming back in August before the girls go back to school so I know they are going to love this rec room.  
It also has a 80 inch screen TV.  
Terry loved that and I know the girls will too.

A fun bar.

This is the entry way.  Loved those cool light house lamps.  Michigan is known for it's light houses.

Large living room.  I would not change a thing if I owned this house.  Every room was just recently updated in the white and farmhouse look.
Ha Ha I know some of you that know me are smirking right now thinking Yeah right Kris you not changing something!!!!  Ok maybe those mirrors on the living room wall would have to go!  Other than that it was a beautiful "Kris" house.

Usually I drive to my favorite shops that are all over the place when we visit over in Michigan.
This town was new to us so we ventured downtown.  Oh boy am I glad I did.  I found 4 shops right in a row.  
The downtown was like Mayberry.  Cute shops and nice family owned restaurants .
This shop was called Oh My.

It lived up to it's name.  I kept saying Oh My look at this look at that!!!
Very cute white cottage chippy shabby things.

This shop was called Rosy Tomorrows.  The lady that owns this shop was the sweetest person.  She had some of the most unique gift items.   I am a shopper and I have to say a lot of her things in this shop were new to me.  I got some beautiful gifts.

I also stopped at one of my fave shops as you enter into Michigan in Three Oaks.  It is called Vintage Goods.  I have not been in a long time and I went a little crazy in this shop.  She had some beautiful old chippy and fun pieces.

This is her outdoor garden area.  Lots of fun things to purchase for some fun decor for your outdoor spaces.

She had a few chairs and this cute table filled with plants and flowers.  I always loved using old furniture in the garden with plants and flowers when I had my house.

Another Shop was called Who Knew.  Another cute name.  
This was the nicest resale shop I have ever seen.  
Lots of beautiful purses, shoes and clothes.

Another cute shop was called the Cottage Gallery.  I found a fabulous old vintage piece and I will show you that soon.  Terry had to do a little tweaking to it.

We had a great Memorial Day Weekend.  This sweet town did an old fashion parade.  Everyone lines up on the sides of the streets in town and the parade goes by.

I really love this sweet and quaint little town.  People were very friendly and I hit the jackpot with all these shops right in a row.

Hope you all had a good weekend and Memorial Day.
The weather could not have been nicer.
Have a great rest of the week.
Hugs,
Kris
