If you dig that rustic look, and use antlers in all of your decorating . . . prepare to be amazed!

Ok, Mr Kylloe’s conversational style is a little goofy, and the last “gallery” section could have benefited from better editing and layout, but the sheer number of examples of lake houses and complexes was really impressive. Nice idea book so you can imagine what parts of Adirondack style might fit your own setting and style.
