As the owner of an old home, I have a natural love for any person who puts their time into fixing up a neglected space. This
little lake cottage from
Chicago Home and Garden Magazine has been moving around the blogosphere and I am just in love with it.

It was a rundown 11' x 11' space that the owner moved and restored to what you see above. What a beautiful second home this would make! If you're not sold yet, check out the dock that's just down the way.

This would make a perfect summer!
