Designed by interior designer Linda McDougald from Postcard from Paris, this lake house is simply impeccable inside and out.
Located by Lake Keowee in South Carolina, this lake house was carefully built respecting the surrounding old trees and was designed to meet USGBC LEED for Home standards. The exterior of the house is beautifully constructed with brick and stone, bringing the perfect hues from the nature found on the property.
While the exterior is all about what you see outdoors, the interiors transport you to a place full of class, elegance and style. The designer perfectly blended silver tones, with iron and bronze throughout the interior to give the home an eclectic flare.
The result is a lake house with timeless decor and a simply unforgettable kitchen.
