The Big Reveal | The Lakehouse | Ep. 9

It’s been two years since Lynda invited our crew for a look at the one-season cottage on a frozen November day. Now, it’s finally time for the tour of her warm and toasty house, decorated and ready to host her family for Christmas.

Wow! Amazing renovation! I love how you modernized the home without taking its souls out. Most designers nowadays would have gutted everything and painted everything white to the point that the home no longer looks the same. You came in and respected the space and let it help you with the design and it paid off! One of the best renovations I’ve seen on this channel. Bravo!

[@taylorleeanneking]

Potentially the best cottage design in decades. I’m so incredibly glad you left the wood. The house has so much soul!

[@elizabethheatley22]

Lynda I don’t think I have ever seen new design so faithful to it’s origins. What a beautiful job!

[@rneustel388]

How beautiful-it really blows me away! This type lake house where family and friends visited often, but was also comfortable for the owners alone, has always been a favorite of mine. You kept it true to the original but with your own personalities, too. Love seeing Archie and those expressive eyes!

[@Chloe0418]

That beautiful old home was in great hands! Enjoyed the whole series - well done!

[@sharonelizabeth4248]

This was so worth the wait. It’s nice how you and your partner compromised and added your own distinctive touches to this project. I Love the warm and charm of this lake house.

[@kamakauli]

You did such a fantastic job. Keeping all the wood tones was the right move!!! Been waiting for this. You are an inspiration and we love you! Aloha from Hawaii 😘

[@janemily2627]

Absolutely PERFECT! It is SO warm and cozy looking, I LOVE it! Now build and style a bunkie!!

[@catherinebent5101]

So nice to see a home with so much warmth and not grey! Beautiful.

[@therenaissanceredneck8825]

OMG!!! Absolutely breathtaking. You and Michelle have out done yourselves with a vision of modernizing. While keeping it warm and inviting. ❤️

[@subomioladapo4814]

What an amazing home in the countryside. I'm blown away. Perfection from start to finish.

[@sherryhudson9075]

Love this! The claret velvet sofa and chairs make it so cozy and colorful

[@beverlymartin179]

I love, love, love the cottage house. You did an exceptional job. I had no doubts. Wish I were a friend, and invited to the cottage. Looking forward to the magazine to dive into. Thanks for sharing your amazing transformation.

[@TheAndrewRitchie]

Absolutely fabulous. The whole place just glows. So lustrous! You did a fantastic job of preserving the integrity of the historic house while simultaneously elevating it and modernizing it. I can’t wait for the January issue, and thank you for this tour!

[@dianebaker5243]

[@dawnd.5290]

[@captinzoom]

I'm happy the house turned out the way she wanted it for her and her family. This truly felt like this was her forever home. I hope she gets to use it alot

[@misterosc]

This is so incredible, I really love it, the vintage rugs, the armoire, the kitchen is just to die for. I'm just astonished. I really enjoyed that you guys showed the whole process and not just the finished product. This is one of the best interiors I've ever seen

[@janicecondron5714]

Beautiful job Lynda!

[@neweverymorningmercy3491]

Yeah, I'll probably be picking up that edition of House and Home. I've been waiting for this final reveal...worth the wait. I like what you said about keeping the feel...you certainly did that.

[@rulu3345]

It is STUNNING, well done team! the Walnut dining table and the French dish/linens closet are my fav.

[@stephaniesimonnet2262]

Hi Lynda, I have been watching your series with avid impatience. Your lake house is a dream. Well done. It was great that you spoke of Michel preferences and related your different tastes. Made it real. Hope to see more . Happy New Year 2022.

[@sandyg.3454]

Fantastic job, I love it! The house looks cozy, comfortable and welcoming. It's beautifully decorated but not precious, it looks approachable and inviting!

[@robertmirmow6307]

One of the best remods ever! I love the final product!

[@trinidad2450]

For sure I’m going to copy some of your designs, way to go!!! Beautiful job!

[@allanyeager1147]

Just fantastic! Everything is really just perfect. Congratulations! And thank you for sharing.

[@peachygvgv]

[@putrowidodojati3417]

Crazy beautiful. Well done!

[@deniseroussel3755]

[@marian1633]

Wonderful, warm and unique

[@tweetterbug]

Simply STUNNING!

[@lisabeatty7778]

Absolutely stunning!

[@libertylifebylisa]

Lynda! OMG love love love everything about your lakehouse! It is a goal of mine to have a similar property when we downsize; your series on the lakehouse and the magazine continues to inspire me. L

[@alisedelacey7138]

Stunning lake house…love your honesty of where you got things how it looks vintage but it’s new❤️🇨🇦

[@misstopportunity6914]

Yeah, why use real vintage items and save something from the landfill when you can buy it new from India or China, right?

[@maaikemartens6086]

Stunning!!!!! 💕💕💕💕

[@maddscientist3170]

love, Love, LOVE!!

[@mariefernandeaugustin1392]

I like it when people customize their homes to their needs and taste.

[@tracysiddall6016]

Gorgeous!

[@navyakishore9697]

[@marygracecornell-combs8576]

Lovely design!

[@peadar-o]

Old and new, antiques and Ikea. Very chic result.

[@carlyh6913]

Wow it has turned out amazing. As a maximalist, I love the restraint you've exersized

[@bobinabuddy]

Best house ever!

[@curious1264]

Gorgeous is all I can say

[@paulajf4205]

Wow, so much to love about this house, but my favorite is the master bath ... and kitchen. Now, when do the H&H viewers get a chance to win a weekend at the Lakehouse? 😀

[@ashjarhussain2821]

Beautiful 😍

[@nanal1964]

wow... I would love to live there....

[@TheLeenyb]

[@ladylyonteeth3952]

Nice job. 👍💕

[@bingliu2226]

LOVE THIS "HOME & HOUSE"! This is my dream come true! 美妙！

[@Mtsiatini]

Finally 👏🏼😁👏🏼

[@polianabonfim3378]

Essa casa é magníficamente linda e aconchegante. Amei cada canto.

[@karendensmore8040]

I’m confused about the thinking behind the living room TV placement….it doesn’t look like there is any way to easily view it?

[@Shostakovich33]

Ugh, invite me over! So beautiful.

[@charlesrodriguesable]

Juste: Bravo ! Belle maison de campagne ! Une nouvelle version de ma cabane au Canada ! Très réussi, très beau ! Content de vous revoir Linda !

[@minigiant8998]

this was a very nice (and long) samsung commercial. almost makes me want to buy one (but i love my OLED tvs)

[@Lizwindsor]

finally….

[@bobinabuddy]

Did you ever use any wallpaper that you were looking at in one episode?

[@starsoldier3643]

Btw nice place

[@prime-time5]

Это прекрасная работа

[@petterzachrisson6500]

She’s not afraid of mixing different wood types and textures ..

[@misstopportunity6914]

Please tell me it's over.

[@SeaTurtle515]

Thank you for not painting over that beautiful, warm paneling in the living room.

[@ketherwhale6126]

Your home is rustic meets spa with a hint of wabi sabi. Amazing. Just amazing ! No Barbra Streisand - ( 😩)

[@sacdigitaldesignweb]

This “ cottage” is HUGE no wonder is cold in winter...

[@obig9194]

Alot of furniture though

[@minkaminka5723]

Looks like a nun convent

[@SuchaCaligrrl]

Is that a thing... beds with no spring boxes 😳, I like my bed to be high, I definitely won't be following that trend.

[@pm6613]

Is this your magnum opus? IMO it is the best project you have ever done. Cheers!

[@joantucker1388]

Too much wood. Very dingy.

[@witsendcottage595]

Fastastic cottage..great detals. Hiwever, furniture is out of place...too modern and way too dark! S,slipcovers, wicker chairs etc would be more appropriate for this cottage.

[@canadude6401]

This is a joke right? The decorating in the living room screams 1990's with all those heavy dark colours. The burgandy sofas...ughh. I get it, it's a "Lakehouse" that is supposed to be woody, homey and cozy, but it looks like a ski chalet from 1970. The only saving grace is the mix of mid-century furniture. I would have kept some wood on some walls to attain the cozy feel, but too much wood. She nailed it in the bathrooms and the one bedroom though 9:58 warm wall colour, but not white and she left the wood trim. Still cozy but not a dismal hunting lodge. One more point, to take full advantage of a lake view, the living room should have the biggest windows/sliding doors possible (full floor to ceiling)

[@ArtbyMagic]

To me this space is nah

[@sharonelizabeth4248]

Really not the type of comment that one would expect by someone who has an painting video on KZbin. That’s just not the artists way.

[@ArtbyMagic]

@@sharonelizabeth4248 I guess you didn’t expect an honest opinion from an artist.

[@sharonelizabeth4248]

@@ArtbyMagic No, my fellow artist friends are honest, intelligent and kind in their criticisms. They would think first of how they would like to be spoken to and reflect that in their responses and never be hurtful. Real people are on the receiving end and I’d like to think you would rephrase your comment to reflect some self awareness and empathy towards another person who was brave enough to put their work out there. That’s all. Just be kind.

[@jules0X]

@@sharonelizabeth4248 expressing their opinion saying it's not for them isn't really unkind or rude. "To me this space is nah" is hurtful? Sharon, you just channel stalked someone looking for fodder to throw in their face because they didn't like a lakehouse remodel. Yikes.

[@julajuleika]

Way too much Martha Stewart Vibes for me. .. the opposite of modern, sorry, don't like it very much

[@misstopportunity6914]

Martha? Lynda wishes.
