The Lake (Bedrooms)

As I mention in my first post about the lake house it started out as a small trailer. After a few years we added a room the complete length of the trailer and 10" wide. We divided this into a living room and a small bedroom. Well do you know how much bigger rooms look with no furniture in them. No, we didn't think to measure the furniture.

So we have a teeny little niche that the bed just slides into. Bed making is as good as a yoga workout. But it is cozy and a welcome place after a hard day on the lake.

At the foot of the bed is just room for a dresser.


On the other wall is an oak dresser with hanging space on one side. This is the only place to hang clothes in this room. But, you don't need many clothes at the lake, right? However, my one regret is that we failed to build more storage into our original plan.


The second bed is tucked into a small alcove just off the kitchen in the original trailer. If you check out the first post on the kitchen you can catch a glimpse of the bed just past the kitchen cabinets. There is a sliding door that closes it off from the kitchen at night. To me it has always had the feeling of a bunk on a sailing ship. Perhaps I am just a romantic.

Though neither bedroom is big they are so much better than the air mattress on the ground on which we slept years ago. Here's wishing you have a peaceful rest no matter where you lay your head.
