Lake Michigan Beach Cottage Renovation

This Lake Michigan beach cottage renovation was designed to capture the fun, relaxed spirit of a beach rental while maintaining high-end craftsmanship throughout the home. The project included updates to the kitchen, bathroom, and additional living spaces, creating a cohesive and guest-ready retreat. Playful, vertically paneled cabinetry finished in a bold coastal color brings energy and personality, while clean lines and tight reveals keep the look refined. A matching paneled range hood and open wood shelving create a built-in feel that’s both functional and inviting. Overhead, a wide-plank natural wood ceiling adds warmth and texture, grounding the vibrant finishes and reinforcing an easygoing, sun-washed coastal vibe that makes the most of the limited space.
