The Master Bedroom at the Lakeside Cottage

I wanted to step outside the box with this Lakeside project and do some bolder moves that maybe I maybe wasn't sure I'd do in my home but have recently loved!! Well I am so happy I did so because wow, the results are stunning!


Let's see what you think of the finished Master Bedroom!


Before

Below I shared my vision board of what I had imaged in my head before starting this room Oh My!!  It totally came to life!!

The box molding is the real shiner here! You can find the step by step DIY tutorial on my Instagram highlight is you are wanting to create that in a space too!

We had planned on doing a small closet door, but then realized how that's not very functional for a smaller space + we wanted to create as much space as possible! We decided to go the curtain route and the color of the curtain matched perfectly.

This the view from standing In the doorway, I may just stand here all day long!!

Let's talk about the TV Frame should we? I saw an Instagram friend DIY a frame like this  (I will put that DIY blog post HERE

When seeing that I thought "I need to make one for the bedroom at Lakeside!" I did dumb it down and decided to wing some of the process, as well as a little error with the gold spray paint. Don't worry my faithful rub n puff came to the rescue! (favorite color is european gold.)

I used may hands to rub in the buff to make it look more antique with a black base. I am obsessed!! I may love it so much that I'm going to make another for a different spot, Stay tuned;)

These Amazon pleated curtains elevated the look SO MUCH. I used them in the bunk room as well.  It's always a good feeling when your vision comes to life and you love it just as much as you hoped you would!  Find the links to everything below.

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 ;)
