Sweet Shady Lane was originally a blog about the restoration of our beloved 1937 lake home—Mona Bina...

The lake house, "Mona Bina" named by her original owners, means Home For All. The blog was originally meant for family and friends to stay up to date on the transformation and beautiful restoration done by Landschute Homes. 

The blog has since morphed into an instagram @sweetshadylane where Heather shares daily photos of design inspiration in hopes that her readers will be inspired to see what is possible in their own homes. From the instagram...Heather created a small business...The Vignette Box—A sweet collection of hand picked treasures that Heather would use in her own home—all packaged beautiful in an artist designed keepsake box. 

 

Are we Instagram friends?

Pretty morning moments in the master sitting room. Art lamp @traditionschf Vintage art @ateliercollection Sofa @quatrinefurniture Antique wicker table @loftantiquesmpls
Sometimes winter seems like it will never end...And then it does-slowly, day by day and you realize one beautiful morning, that it was all worth it. Happy Saturday Insta! 📸 @landschute
Little charmers brought to you by my local grocery store and @johnderiancompany Excited to be off to market today searching for new items for The Vignette Box!! I’ll share all my Atlanta fun in my stories! Little wood table is antique from @onekingslane
This picture was taken standing in the door to the master...Not sure if anybody really wanted to know that, but now you do! 😉 Rug, bench seat and pillows @thesittingroommn #ovaloffice #circularbookshelf #circularbookcase
Here’s another view of the master bedroom with a great view of the coffered ceiling. Fun fact-all of the beds in Mona Bina are built-ins created by @landschute Happy Monday insta! #cofferedceiling #masterbedroom #masterbedroomdesign
Dorothy’s little head peaking out behind the wicker ottomans in the master sitting room is just too sweet! ❤️ She follows me everywhere, and when I’m taking photos, she just finds a spot and waits patiently for me to finish. Buster on the other hand could care less about my whereabouts or what I’m up to in the house! 😉 They are so different! Happy Sunday! Art @ateliercollection Couch @quatrinefurniture Spindle chairs @thesittingroommn Ottomans are a garage sale find.
 

I’m a self-taught designer fueled by passion, a writer/blogger, a dedicated yoga instructor and a mother of 4 pretty awesome kids!

I was 9 years old when I started decorating. Besides my own room (don’t even get me started on how many times I rearranged my bed,) my mom would come home from work to find that I had rearranged the entire living room! The tables were turned and sofas were moved. Beyond that, I would assemble a simple collection of books or move a special photo to just the right spot. It is still this same fascination, with simple yet transformative details, that has fueled my passion to make a house a home. 

I don’t care if that special something is eventually uncovered in a custom show room, a flea market or your very own basement – but, I do believe it is critical that you find those elements that speak the truth of who you are and what you represent. Lucky for me, that truth has translated, time and time again into homes that tell a story of lived in love. 

While I may not be a designer by trade — I am however, honored to have received some significant design pats on the back (featured in 2 national magazines.) I am most grateful that I know for sure—what feels right to me, and this serves as my ultimate guide. 

So, here I go…DESIGN, WRITE, REPEAT.  Thanks for being a part of it!
