Tucked away in the peaceful countryside, this charming lakeside cottage in Louisiana marks the second project Joel Fazende has had the pleasure of crafting for this family. Joel's journey with the clients, from the first sketches to selecting custom upholstery and pieces, showcases his keen eye for detail in every corner of this lovely home. Aiming for a fresh take on the classic Louisiana cottage vibe for their new family retreat, the clients found exactly what they were looking for. Joel has created a space that effortlessly exudes a relaxed Southern charm. The home is built with traditional local materials—brick, hardwood floors, and aged wooden beams—laying the groundwork for a palette of warm, welcoming colors and textures that invite you in.
