...this reminds me of the home we almost bought

This lakefront cottage reminds me of the home Dave and I were so close to buying in Oakley--besides the lakefront part and many other things...But there are some similarities and I love it! They both have:

Wood shingle exteriors.

A tall upper story with a great view (our Oakley almost-home has a view of Timp).

And gray floors.

 The other parts of the home are really not similar at all. This cottage has much more beautiful woodwork and huge windows. 

I love modern homes/cottages that use natural materials. 

Here's a shot of our Oakley almost-home. Kinda similar, eh?
