    The Charming Detroiter

    Our New Home: Two Lakes Lodge

    In March of 2018 we moved into our new home, which we are naming Two Lakes Lodge! It has been a whirlwind of activity with moving, adjusting the dogs to their new space, and starting our renovations. You can still check out our old home tour by clicking here. We have lots of ideas for this new space that I am super excited and eager to share with you! Be sure to check back on this page periodically, as I will be curating a collection of all of our projects and renovations for the new home here. I hope you enjoy this journey with us to create our new home!

    The Before Tour

    This is it: our new home! We moved into our new home in March 2018 in order to have more space for us in the house and a bigger yard for the dogs and just generally for more privacy. Exciting times for sure! Especially as for us it was a great change of scenery. We were previously located next to a major road at the old house, and I constantly had anxiety about the dogs getting out of the yard. Of course now the trade off is that there are apparently coyotes in our neighborhood… but I’m pretty sure my girls could take one in a fight 😉 Check out our “before tour” of the way the house currently looks by clicking here, then be sure to check out our ideas, projects, and renovations below as we update this page!
