Cottage in Michigan

Chicago-based interior designer Tom Stringer was appointed to create this kid-friendly cottage
located in Harbor Springs, Michigan. Owner Sheila Keil says: "This house is really a place where we can all be kids again. It's like being at a year-round summer camp."

Stair rails with quirky positive-negative, tulip-shaped cutouts are "a traditional cottage detail, reinterpreted," says Stringer.
