"A private island retreat is modernized and filled with soft sky blues, natural texture and warm contemporary furnishings for lakeside living at its finest. The result is serene and nature-inspired, but with personality to spare."

- Excerpt from House & Home Magazine (Aug. 2016)

"A large combined kitchen and living area lets people gather comfortably, and ensuite bathroom improves privacy. There's also ample built-in storage and large windows. "It's a fishbowl of beauty," says one owner about the window-lined living area. The same can be said of the dining room, which lets you feel as if you're right out in nature."
