Coastal Farmhouse Style Lake House Tour
This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, please see our disclosure policy.
This coastal farmhouse style lake house is casual and comfy and the full time resident of an empty nester couple! A year’s long search for the perfect home that will serve them well in years to come is decorated with a refreshing style. And the view is amazing, so let’s learn more about Lisa’s journey and style!
As most of our home tours these are regular folks that I’ve gotten to know on Instagram over the years. Rather than just grabbing homes from the internet, I enjoy sharing real people and their lives. You like it too and it’s always appreciated when you leave comments and visit the homeowner’s links as well! That being said…find Lisa at A Simply Styled Nest, so head over and follow her! Let’s get started with the tour…
The exterior of Lisa’s self described coastal farmhouse style home is modern and up to date. However, like many our homes it was far from perfect when Lisa and her husband first set their eyes on it. When you see the difference of this view above and the image below, it’s dramatic. Before…and the value of the power of paint!
They fell in love with the waterfront view while searching for a lake home. I mentioned to Lisa I remember this lake well, as we used to go boating there with our kids and family who live in Charlotte.

Fall porch is ready for fall at Lisa’s lake house…
And a colorful Christmas. Note how the steps have been painted a darker color which is probably a more practical choice.
“I’m Lisa and so excited to be one of Janet’s home tours! I have 3 grown sons in 3 different states and my husband and I have been married for 32 years. I was a Kindergarten teacher for years and then stayed home for many raising my boys…but my forever passion is interior decorating. I love color!”
“My husband and I grew up close to fresh water lakes…and it is so wonderful how life has come full circle!”
“Four years ago the youngest of our 3 sons left for college. After 23 years in the same house raising them we began house hunting for a place close to a large airport to ease my husband’s work travel. We also were dreaming that we would find our retirement home near a lake so our children would have a place to come and bring their families and we could make lots of memories.”
“After an exhaustive 2 years of seeing dozens of houses we found our diamond in the rough on Lake Wylie in Charlotte, North Carolina. Our home is not new…it was built in the early 90’s and needed lots of updates and TLC! “
“We moved in to our forever lake house…a dream come true….in April of 2019.”
“Our house had great “bones” so we were quite happy to move in and begin tackling lots of projects. Our first big one was painting the brick exterior white and the dock and deck spaces gray.”
“Next I added open shelves to the kitchen for displaying some favorite pieces.”
Lisa mixed in watery blues, natural wicker and oodles of white paint to define her coastal farmhouse style.
“I then painted our outdated marble and gold fireplace and surround”
Note the use of texture and vintage books grouped by color!
“And finally, I painted and retiled the laundry room in our coastal farmhouse style home.”
“We replaced all of the old aluminum blinds with bamboo shades and painted throughout the house to give it a coastal cottage feel.”
“My style is a mix of modern farmhouse, cottage and coastal…and I always want it to feel casual, cozy, and welcoming!” A great coastal farmhouse style!
“Soft blues are my favorite and I love mostly neutral furniture with pops of color added with accessories, textiles, and artwork…and I love changing my color accents seasonally and just when I’m inspired!”
The Foyer – Coastal Farmhouse Style
Seasonal Stylings In The Dining Room
“Our lake house is situated on a cozy cove and our sunroom with all of the window views and access to our upper patio is where you will find us when we aren’t sunset cruising in the lake!”
“Our home is definitely a dream come true!”
Master Bedroom With A Water View
“Future projects for us here are adding new landscaping and a vegetable garden, a master bathroom complete renovation, adding a rustic stone fireplace surround with mantel and wood beams in the living room, new farmhouse style windows with window boxes and board and batten shutters.”

What a pretty home! Never have I seen a home with a view like this one has. To look out your windows and see that peaceful lake would be nothing short of perfect. I love all the updates and decorating. Clearly the homeowner has an eye for decorating. Total beauty surrounds, inside and out.

Wonderfully done, and welcome to Lake Wylie. It appears you were here before us, but we’ve just purchase our lake lot as well and I’m ready to redecorate. Little ole home needs tons of work and redoing, but I look forward to it. Cheers
So happy that you found this post Deborah and enjoy your new home!
This is amazing and everything I have been looking for. Would you by any chance know the name of the colour of the blue walls? Thanks
I love the blue and white theme. Beautiful home!
Blue and white my favorite colors great tour Thanks
Such a beautiful home. Bit was fun to tour. Thank you for sharing.
Love your style—cohesive from room to room, and a color palette that’s so easy on the eyes!
What a beautiful home! As someone who is trying to define her style, e.g. farmhouse, coastal, French country, etc., can you point out what part of this house is farmhouse?
Sometime back I got caught up in this whole farmhouse thing and bought a picture of a cow and now find there is nothing farmhouse about my house or décor and I have no place to hang it.
Thanks Janet for showcasing all these beautiful homes.
A lovely home and so beautifully decorated! Love all of the details and color. So happy Lisa found her dream home!
Hi Denise! I can never seem to catch up, but appreciate your visits here and comments! It really is a dream come true for sweet Lisa
Oooo this is such a pretty home. Loved the tour. Thank you.
I love this one too Ann!
What a beautiful lake home! I love Lisa’s style and of course those views! My husband is going to retire soon and we will be looking for our retirement home! I can’t wait!
Hi Sue…a lake home sounds wonderful and how exciting that you guys are planning on a new chapter! I’m hoping for the same here and feel that my husband will be ready before long now. Hugs!
I love every bit of this home ! Thanks for sharing, Janet–now I have another beautiful blogger to follow !
Thanks Claire!
Love that rounded seat sectional. Any ideas where I can find one?
Hi Susan…since this is a home tour, we don’t know. If you’re on Instagram you can visit her account and ask over there!
Thanks for the reply Janet.
Love this home so much! What is the paint color on the walls? Is it possibly BM White Satin 2067-70, or is it a light gray? I feel like it’s the light blue. I’d love to replicate. Thanks!
Love this home! Could you please share the paint color/brand for the walls in the main living areas? Sometimes it appears more blue and sometimes it seems more gray, but in any case I love it. Thanks!
