Waterside Storage Building Charmers.

Little houses.. I love em.. 

It's just a necessity to have a shoreline building here at the lake to keep all our stuff tucked away.
Except we don't have one.  

The lake is 72 steps down from the cottage which is fine but the
72 steps up from the lake with life jackets, chairs, toys, fishing equipment, books, towels, well, that's a climb.
Did you know that's about around 5 stories up? 
I'm not complaining, we're rugged.

We can do it!

As usual I'm getting off track. reign it in Sideline..
this post is about cute small buildings along the waterfront. 
Let's do this. 

Here we go.. enjoy!
First of all look at this amazing property, now this is rugged. And lasting and beautiful. 

Oh the labor involved in all that stone work! 

A little hard to see, this one is just peeking out, it matches the cottage which is up the hill.

It's so simple but by painting it bright blue, adorable. 

Not big enough..??? 

Former pigeon coop?

With little beach and some years when the water is high, no beach at all, this is a classic look. Isn't this a nice one? 

Ahhhh... hidden away with it's dark siding .. Love the rippling water. 

This is probably the newest lakeside building, it was finished a couple of weeks ago. Hand made from scratch by the owner and a carpenter-neighbor. It sure fits nicely into that, spot like it's been there for years.

The oldest perhaps? Just a wild guess.. 

More ... useful.. characters.. 

A collection ..

Sweet, clean, neat.. skinny door.  
 

More old sheds, and some cleverly tucked into the hill. 
I think we're too tall for this one. 

Oh wait, this might be the newest addition to the lakeside structures. Really doesn't fit the storage building topic does it? A tiki hut built under the stairway. We know where the party is.

These prefab units from Lowe's and Home Depot are showing up around the lake, this is a great one. 
Others;

Now for a couple more favorites.. like this 3 by 4 foot structure. I love this. 
The paint, the tiny window, the door, the stone wall..all of it. 

and this one.. 

and oh my heart.. 
this 

well.. maybe one more..

this summer house is surrounded with grasses, it's all glass and used for storage but imagine it with curtains and comfortable furniture.  A lamp, 
some books. 
And a laptop.. 
It would be perfect! 
It's Aug.. enjoy the last few weeks of summer my friends.
