The Summer Lakehouse
To recreate the enduring allure of a summer lakehouse, it's vital to accentuate the natural beauty of the surroundings. The philosophy behind the design must be one with nature, integrating elements that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also echo the tranquility of lakeside living. The Shaker Collection strikes this harmonious note with its clean lines and unadorned simplicity, marrying the sturdiness of solid wood with a flexible design language, reflecting the summer light with a loving nod to the warmth of the season.
Pair your walnut shaker collection with lightweight fabrics and natural textures. Add pops of color reminiscent of the lake's spectrum. Lush, warm neutrals or calming pastels can paint your rooms with the hues of summer's sunset, while accents like driftwood and jute subtly underline the coastal charm.

Dark wood finishes have a unique way of adding depth and warmth to any summer setting, challenging the traditional notion that lighter woods are for warmer seasons. Our Greenport collection, with its Brushed Walnut finish, exudes a rich, inviting warmth that complements the vibrant, sunlit days of summer perfectly.
Similarly, the Shaker collection in Expresso offers a deep, luxurious hue that anchors the light, airy aesthetic of a summer lakehouse, creating a balanced and harmonious look.
Elevate Your Dining Space with the Valerie Table and Bench
During the summer, the simple act of dining becomes an occasion. From early morning breakfasts with the sun rising over the water, to afternoon barbecues with family gathered 'round, to candlelit dinners accompanied by the gentle lapping of the waves—each event is enhanced by the natural beauty of your dining table.
Layering with Textiles and Tableware
The art of setting a table is as much about the accessories you choose as the table itself. With the Driftwood Valerie table and bench, the possibilities are as vast as the lake outside your door. Consider textiles in soft, beachy hues—linens and cottons that echo the colors of sand, sky, and water.
The Coastal Bungalow
The Coastal Bungalow aesthetic reflects the relaxed, sun-kissed feel of a beachside bungalow, where the breeze is light, and the surroundings are infused with the colors of the sea and sky. Think natural textures, weathered wood, and palettes inspired by sand, surf, and straw.
The color white symbolizes purity, peace, and tranquility. What sets brushed white apart is its versatility — it’s a neutral canvas that harmonizes with various decor themes, but it’s especially enchanting in a coastal context.
To fully appreciate the coastal bungalow feel, integrate the brushed white Greenport collection with complementary beachy hues. Soft blues, watery greens, sandy beiges, and coral accents infuse a room with the palette of a seascape, mirroring the elements of sky, sun, and shimmery shorelines.

The appeal of the driftwood finish lies in its ability to encapsulate the raw beauty of nature. The finish mimics the weathered tones found on wood that has been washed ashore, bleached by the sun and salt. This creates a unique texture and faded tone that is rich with character, instantly conjuring images of the ocean’s artistry.
