We really enjoyed covering the Williamson cabin.  It truly is a beautiful little home, in a very magical setting deep on a wooded lot that borders Smith Lake from the highest point in Cullman County, Bob Calvert mountain.  Its history is still being unfolded as the owners, Andrew and Meg Williamson, are taking their time in the next few years to restore the cabin in a way that will preserve history but also provide proper living areas for their family of four.  

The tiny home speaks for itself in rustic appeal, and it served as a fantastic backdrop with all the natural elements and textures to showcase some special staple pieces from Seibels Cottage in Homewood, Alabama. Seibels is truly a one stop shop for all things lake decor. Their carefully curated products and designer services can raise the level of sophistication in your lake home overall one piece at a time. Seibels allowed Designer Emma Doss to pick the pieces, design the shots, and direct the overall photo shoot, and she did an incredible job working with us in such close quarters.  

Below we're highlighting individual items shown in the article beginning on page 39-50. Click the photos to go directly to complete descriptions & options of each product on Seibels' website.  


ENTRYWAY

The outdoor entry was already prepared with mums, plants, and pumpkins from the Thanksgiving holiday, but adding a beautiful natural rug with a fish print, just pulled the lake in better. The rug was nestled between the flowers and plants that anchored the entry.

LIVING ROOM NOOK

​A cozy nook in the living room is defined by an Old Hickory chair with loads of character, alone it embodies the feel of lake living. Sitting beside a leather couch adorned by a luxurious faux mink throw and lush pillow, the nook is instantly warm, cozy and inviting. The pieces that tie this space together are the framed Lake Map, the Birch Lamp, Bark Candle and of course the must-have cow-hide rug making this arrangement an exclamation point right at the front door area.

​KITCHEN

Be sure to check out the original article for more photos of the small kitchen. Not much had to be added in the kitchen to elevate the lake feel, there was already functional rustic decor like iron pots, metal collanders, rustic bowls and cutting boards.  

But there are always ways to add touches of "lake" to the mix. A couple of tea towels with a rustic feel, and a beautiful fish bar tool atop an elegant old barrel wood cheese & charcuterie board. Just the right touches.

LIVING ROOM - FIRESIDE

In tight quarters, it doesn't require much decor near the fireplace to get cozy, items in this area should be small, easily moveable, and very functional. Create an area inviting to those entering from the cold to take immediate reprieve in the warmth.

BEDROOMS

​Tiny bedrooms call for serious comfort and lush bedding. The master is in the loft, so there isn't any room for extra furnishings, the king bed takes up the whole area, so lighting and plush pillows help pull together a cozy resting area. Functional, well made and  handsome bedding with good lighting and a couple of whimsical touches for the boys' room was easy to accomplish.
