I always find it refreshing discovering new creatives on instagram who don’t fall in to your typical “like-to-know-it” mold or those with 1M+ followers. I actually prefer to follow people who have smaller followings and are “undiscovered.” More often than not, it means they’re creating content because of a specific passion or love for a particular industry. And in this case, Heather’s instagram feed documenting her renovation and complete transformation of her 1937 lake home is a complete GEM. I find every single image Heather posts on instagram inspiring. Whether she’s opening my eyes on how to style a side table vignette or how to perfect an entry way table with vintage books and fresh blooms, I pretty much always save Heather’s instagram posts for my personal design files. Her style actually reminds me a lot of my moms — a well curated mix of flea market finds paired seamlessly with traditional and modern pieces (hi mom!).

Any who, below are a few of my favorite images from Heather’s 1937 lake home & a few ideas on how you can get the look. Happy home stalking! Xo. Lauren
