A Dream Home at Lake Oconee.
Two weekends ago, mom and I headed to the Lake Oconee Living Dream Home at Lake Oconee.
First of all, I love the peeps at Lake Oconee Living because well, they give me work. And secondly, this was a great event for a great cause.
This beautiful home was outfitted by the uber-talented Shane Meder. I wish I had thought to take a selfie of Shane and myself while I was out there…. but I didn’t. I got to spend a few hours with Meder a few years ago when writing a piece on his awesome lake cottage. He is riotous fun and a super generous fellow. And it would have been the most fun to insert a cool photo of us both here but . . .
no fear because I have some most excellent photos of the house to share.
Mom loved this fabric on the dining chairs
Celebrity cook Nathalie Dupree was on hand in the kitchen. I wonder if she is there every day preparing basil and bologna sandwiches for lunch?
None of my photos of the master bath are really all that great — and that is sad. Because this probably was the most amazing private bathroom I’ve ever used.
Okay. I didn’t shower there. Though I was tempted. And I only tried on a dress or two.
Upstairs held the rooms for the visiting grandchildren.
The home theater.
And the home gym.
The outdoor space is what you would imagine on the lake.
Spectacular.
Now if you’d like a great read and see some professional photos of the Dream House interiors pick up a copy of Lake Oconee Living.
And I had the pleasure of writing the blurb on the beneficiary of the Dream Home, ESP — Extra Special People. An organization providing after school programs and summer camps for special needs children covering a 10 county area. They are hoping to get their dream facility started soon and the proceeds from the Dream House weekend hopefully will be a big boost to their fund raising efforts.
And if you’d like to enter the raffle for a new F-150 click here. Each ticket you buy is a chance at the truck and half the money will go back to ESP for a new wheelchair accessible van.
It was a beautiful dream home to dream about.
If you could do a dream redo of a room in your home, what would it be?
