Flag Toothpick Art

I remember loving this flag toothpick wreath from a few years ago! Now that I live in DC I should definitely make it for all of the patriotic holidays-Memorial Day, Veteran's Day, July 4th! This year the wreath can have double duty with the Summer Olympics coming up soon. I thought this is the perfect year to showcase some of my favorite patriotic themes! I scoured the web for some flag toothpick sources for you in case you have a problem finding some.

Lake Rabun Home

Atlanta Homes mag featured this lake house at Lake Rabun in North Georgia. The owners, Ann & Warner Veal own Traditions in Tile & Stone so they had access to great tiles which is shown throughout. The owners used designer, Jeff Jones and architects Todd Pritchett and Craig Dixon of Pritchett + Dixon. The house sits 30 feet from the lake and every room including the kitchen has a view of the lake.

To provide lots of room for relaxation two separate living areas were created

Various oars are hung over the stone fireplace

Screened in porch brings the outdoors inside

Modern amenities and appliances were added to the kitchen

Red glass tiled back splash in the kitchen provides pop of color

Walk in shower with views of the river stone walls in the background

Pebble fireplace is see through and can be seen in the master suite as well

Green tiles bring the forestry colors from the lake inside

The hallway family photo gallery made of jute strings and clips allows for new additions to be added easily

Suspended fishing nets give the appearance of headboards

The guest bedrooms were designed smaller on purpose so guests could be downstairs spending time. The headboard is made from vintage survey sticks.

The birch bed gives this room a rustic type feel perfect for the lake

Rustic entrance with reclaimed floors and sliding barn doors greet guests
