my happy place...

i will admit, i am an excitable type of girl...which is why i nearly lost my mind when i stumbled upon this lakeside retreat...

i am not at all surprised that it belongs to the couple behind mjölk a magical scandinavian lifestyle store based in toronto...i have been stalking this store and kitka, mjölk's blog, for awhile now.  i wonder if the owners john baker and juli daoust would have the time to stop by the french abode and help out with the never-ending remodel/spiffy-up project?  can you imagine the level of excitement? i am pretty sure my heart couldn't take it!
