Decorating my little heart out

I've been a busy bee, y'all, getting ready to set up our new place at the lake. So far I've ordered a dozen dining chairs, seven nightstands, five beds, four bar stools, three bookcases, two sideboards, a coffee table, a big ol' dining table that will extend to 156", and a partridge in a pear tree. Things have already started arriving here since I couldn't get white glove delivery service for everything directly to the lake house. We'll be borrowing the brother-in-law's trailer to transport some existing furniture here in our home's upstairs living area, opting to repurpose it since it's virtually never used. 

I'll admit I've also been cruising over to pontoon boat, jet ski and golf cart websites lately to check out options. I'm really liking the Barletta and Bennington tritoon boats. We have two 25' boat slips in our boathouse/dock, so plenty of room for the 23-footer I'm dreaming of. The jet ski is a no brainer since we've had them before and it's easy to find the three-seater we need. We've never owned a golf cart, so this will probably be the most interesting purchase of the three because it's all new to us. We figure we need a four-seater, so there's that. Other than the covenants denoting all golf carts must be white, I guess we'll need to go on some test drives and read the materials to figure out what's best. 

As far as decor, I've decided to lean into an interesting mix of different color woods, as well as chinoiserie, wicker, bamboo and white. We'll also be including some vintage glass pieces in the usual sea glass colors. This house's overall feel is too formal for the lake camp experience I wanted for our retirement property on the water. So I'm gonna change out all ceiling fans as well as some light fixtures to give it a more casual and transitional vibe. Here's hoping the decorator's efforts with this process will mean that most of our selects will be keepers and I won't have to deal with a lot of returns for "misses" along the way. Ideally the lake house will be up and running by Easter, so stay tuned as I continue with the process of getting it all squared away!
