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."

Victoria Hagan fabric was used for the armchairs and pillows in the living room.

In the family room, colourful framed travel posters hang above a "double-wide" sofa-custom made for family movie nights.
Stair rails with quirky positive-negative, tulip-shaped cutouts are "a traditional cottage detail, reinterpreted," says Stringer.
