All I want for Christmas is ...



DOORS!

It has been five years since the weeHouse arrived at Loveless via flatbed truck, providing the centerpiece of this wild-and-wacky adventure to build a modern lake home. The beautiful, light-filled weeHouse arrived complete with an Ikea kitchen, bamboo floors and living area. Meanwhile, the lower level -- with two bedrooms and a bathroom -- has been a construction zone of drywall dust and clutter.

But local builder Brook Waalen and his team have been busy little elves this December. When I arrived yesterday for a holiday visit, this gift of doors and trim awaited me. In one fell swoop the downstairs has gone from perpetual Glamping Mode into something that seems, well, civilized. My goal to pull this project across the finish line in 2017 suddenly seems within reach.

Merry, merry!
