News & Upcoming Events from The Lake House
This week we found a 1930's period Solid Quarter Sawn Oak Entry Mirror with beautiful original Beveled Mirrors. This special piece is 49" tall, 20" wide and in great condition. It definitely has some "craftsman" influence in its design, yet would be a welcome addition to any Cabin, Lodge or Cottage! We'd like to wish everyone a safe & happy St. Patrick's Day !

For Everyone who is already a fan of Jan's work and for those who have yet to experience her unique tonalist style....We've just received two new additions to our Fine Art here at the Store. One is 11 x 14 titled"Arrowhead Afternoon" and the second is 16 x 20 "Arrowhead Viewpoint", both wonderful pieces, as always! Client's describe Jan's paintings as "Period Style", "Craftsman", "Emotional" & "Luminescent" which is why her paintings are always in demand. Call, email or stop by The Lake House in Cedar Glen, if you want more information about these or other Fine Art pieces that would enhance your home!
This Original factory or "Industrial" cart is this week's featured "Tuesday Find" that we found during our Antique hunting! This is the real thing...not a reproduction as many furniture companies are selling. The Steel straping that created the sides is 1/2" thick, which is obviously why it has survived 100 years! This would be a wonderful "Firewood Rack" for any lodge or cabin with a large Fireplace! Stop by or call The Lake House in Cedar Glen to look at this unusual Find!
This week we feature a fun & unusual Vintage Door Stop that we found! This unique Door Stop is unlike anything we've seen before and is made of Cast Iron in the shape of a wonderful Fireplace Scene! It's complete with a Mantel, Hearth, Andirons & Logs! A perfect Door stop for your Lodge,
Cabin or Cottage! At 8" tall and 9 1/2" wide, it would work well as a single bookend on a shelf!
Unfortunately, not a lot of customers were able to get out & about yesterday while we were getting 3 feet of new snow here in Lake Arrowhead at The Lake House! Today, is sunny, beautiful and road travcl is almost back to normal, if you were able to dig your car out! If you want to see a winter wonderland here in Southern California, we're only 90 minutes from Orange County & Los Angels County and barely over an hour from Pasadena or Temecula!
Please come make yourself at home by the fire, here at The Lake House.
This Tuesday we found several interesting Antiques to feature! The first is a very unusual "Toboggan Ink Well set". This beautiful brass "Toboggan" holds two perfect glass ink wells! The next item is a "Flemish Style" Pyro-art Cane or Unbrella holder with a different fruit Motif on all four sides. This unique piece is held together with Boot laces! Third... these Arts & Crafts period Candlesticks feature a Lilly Leaf base and copper Candle cups...Very fun! Our last featured "Tuesday Find" is this wonderful early 1900's Wicker Desk with a Quartersawn Oak Top and one drawer. The Perfect addition to your cottage or cabin guest room! Please give us a call or email if you need more information on these or any of our "antique finds" we post each week!
