Brookside House Tour

So yea, my aunt has a gorgeous house and I wanted to share some photos of it with you. Like my mom, she's always had a serious knack for decorating and styling and she could vignette the shit out of ANY of you, so don't cross her. 

This place was once just a summer cottage and they renovated it into a year-round home.

The massive porch overlooks their own private beach on Lake Erie.

Yup, walk down there a bit and...

BAM! Canadiana panorama in the face.

My ma found her those industrial lights almost 20 years ago and they're still awesome.

My aunt has always had a taste for the classics and her style has always been timeless. 

We had fun looking through her decorating mags from 1985. She's a bit of a decor mag hoarder...

Also, like my mom, she has a thing for (contained) big balls. She found this wonderfully beaten up slab of wood while on a visit to my neck of the woods last year. The guy sold it to her for $40 and she just threw some Ikea legs on it and now it's a babe of a table (a bable?).

These chairs are a bone of contention between my mom and aunt. My mom absolutely hates them, basically they're asshole chairs in her opinion. My aunt couldn't care less - they were cheap and they're practical. It's funny to watch them bicker about them. 

She is very good at karate chopping all of her pillows, which obviously means she'd also be very good at karate chopping all y'all in the face. Just saying.

Sleeping in this guest room would be a bonne nuit indeed! Who wants to come for a visit?
