MINNESOTA HOUSE

Oznell — Fri, 16 Jul 2021 12:20:38 GMT

"Town and Country Living" featured this traditional, very pretty house on a lake in Minnesota.

I was so taken with these two little photo bombers, who appear throughout. Floor's nice too!

Lots of "vintage" and antiques in this house. I absolutely love the way the homeowner continually mixes metals, like the silver tray and bowl with brass swan and lamp.

Also like the lively mix of textures, like smooth metals, nubbly antique baskets, faux bamboo, wicker.

Coffered ceiling lends interest.

More metal-mixing. Water birds are a recurring theme.

The traditional, glass globe pendant lights are so appropriate to this kitchen.

These two amigos again, lending coziness to the den. Those sweet little faces.

An oval-appearing room! Because of the curving, ceiling- level book case visible in mirror. In addition to her swan/duck collection, she seems to collect vintage "shell art" boxes which you can spy here and there.

The house has a warm, New England kind of flair, which I can appreciate even though I tend to like slightly more eclectic interiors, and ones with not quite as many objects. Her use of vintage brass and silver, wonderful old baskets, and antique books and paintings scattered around, gives such a cozy vibe.

@Oznell Thanks for posting these! All these rooms, imo, are to die for!!! I really can't find one thing I don't like. I'm ready to move in! Now, I'm going back to see them again to be sure I didn't miss anything and to get more idea's for my own home. There's a lot to take in here.

I'll take it!!! This is a beautiful home! Nicely decorated, not over the top, but very elegant.

Beautiful home and I like @jubilant could move right in. Of course there are a few things I would have to bring with me but its so well done. Don't miss the stair carpet, love it. Thanks @Oznell To me this is a real winner.

There are so many things I love about this house. It is an elegant, yet comfortable home. I am partial to many accessories in a home, which add so much interest and personality.

Light and airy....love the back yard view. Lots of curvilinear design elements throughout the home, which is graceful and elegant. This is a peaceful, comfortable home. I'll take the adorable pups, too!

Very pretty! I especially like the outdoor space. I love sitting outside by a lake on a sunny (not too hot - maybe in the 70s or low 80s) summer day. The hydrangeas are beautiful.

There are things I'd change, aren't there always but overall, I adore this home. They pretty much had me with the soothing patio, the lake view and the hydrangeas, and it just got better from that point.

It's not my style but it is very well done. I L.O.V.E. those floors that are in the second picture with the stairway.

@Oznell Now you've got my number. Love it all, especially the pups.

My birds would adore the dining room chandelier. Plenty of room to perch.

There is so much that I like about this house that it is difficult to pick one.

Thanks for posting.

Oh my, there's a lot of eye candy to devour in this home. The home and contents are stunning.

The adorable dogs remind the viewer that it's an active, family home, in spite of its perfection. Not sure it would look quite like that, with my 98 lb bruiser.

OMG @Oznell this place is an absolute charmer. I honestly wouldn't

change a thing.

@Oznell I love this house and furnishings! I noticed the small brass duck/geese on a table. I've been watching one at a local upscale consignment store, but it's larger.

It was there today, I might pop in tomorrow and see if it's been reduced yet.

I think it would be nice in an Autumn arrangement. The goose is lying down with it's heard curled on it's back and is large.

If I can't have that house on the lake at least I could have a goose!

It's a beautiful home. I appreciate how it has been accessorized with lovely items, but if it were me, I would have to pare down some of that, it's just too much, for me. That's just me, tho, I like some open surfaces.

This home is filled with such beautiful furnishings and decor, I find it very appealing, warm and most inviting. I know I would spend much time on the porch relaxing and reading. All in all this is a home I would be most comfortable and content in.

Oznell — Fri, 16 Jul 2021 22:44:47 GMT

@1Snickers, I hope you get your goose! Love her vintage brass birds as well. I have some small, vintage chunky brass elephant bookends, and a vintage brass swan dish with her neck bent over her back.

You are right, that goose you have your eye on would be perfect in a fall arrangement-- mellow, burnished, glowing brass is so autumnal!

I like this home and most of the furnishings and accessories. I would add a bit more color here and there to offset all the white. The outside spaces & views are beautiful! The pups are adorable. The one thing I don't really like is the stair carpet.

Absolutely gorgeous - I love everything about this home! Minnesota has so many beautiful lakes! Does the article mention which lake this home is on? There are several outside of the Twin Cities suburbs, but the names escape me.....
