THE BUNKROOM AT LAKESIDE COTTAGE

The Bunkroom at Lakeside Cottage

This second room at The Lakeside Cottage is complete!! eekkk!! I am beyond excited to be at this point in the process of renovating this property. This little room was tiny and dark with it's chocolate brown walls.  It felt super uninviting.  We painted all of the walls and trim the color Locally Grown, by Magnolia Paints, which instantly brightened it. 


Let's take a trip down memory lane for some before and afters to remember what it looked like in the beginning..


Before



After


The bunk beds were a game changer in here.  This room is small but we needed it to function big!  When I found these bunk beds I was so excited that we could fit a full queen underneath and sleep 3 comfortably.  I wanted this room to be playful and fun for kids, but also sophisticated enough for adults to be comfortable in here as well.

It is no secret how much we love Beddys around here!! If I see the opportunity to use them, you best believe I will be!

I thought for having bunkbeds in here how smart that would be for washing often, super easy removable and applying fresh and clean! I fell in love with this pattern which is called "Monroe."

I found this fun arch cabinet on amazon, and I love the style of it but it was a bugger to put together.  We finally got it and it works great for extra storage, clothes, games, bedding, whatever you need!

How cute is this little Teddy Ottoman in the corner. Since this is a kid's room as well, we wanted to have a few toys to play with! This little guy holds some fun toys inside. Perfect spot to store toys!

The statement of this room is the wall candy! The stunning Wall Blush product that I am fully in love with!  I had envisioned a calm statement for this room knowing the bunk beds would be going in front of it. But wow it still speaks for itself.

It is called Marsh linked here.   Use code ALLIE40 for 40% off.

The Oaks final outdoor reveal
By Allie Lundeen August 14, 2025
I pulled off the biggest surprise I've ever done... I can't believe it!! So a little back story - 17 years ago Ryan sold his prized possession, his 1991 Mazda Miata, to help fund a much needed mini van for our baby on the way. After I got pregnant I quit my job and we went from 2 incomes down to 1 income. We knew that a 2 person convertible just wasn't practical and that the finances could be used in a better way. So we sold it... Fast forward 17 years and it all comes back full circle. I put my 17 year old son Tate on the task of finding us a Miata that looked just like dads, and he blew it out of the water. He found the perfect car on Facebook Marketplace In great condition! He drove almost 3 hours to pick it up with a buddy and pulled off the best surprise ever!!! Also to note Tate has never driven through the Twin Cities or Driven a stick shift on any road besides a gravel one close to the cabin. BUT he was confident and crushed the challenge!! We stored it for the night and gave it to him the next day! I think Ryan's reaction says it all (watch the mini vlog below!) Our "19th" anniversary isn't until November but what fun is a convertible if you can't drive it in the summer, so we gave it to him early and are so happy we did! *make sure to read until the end for a good laugh ;)
