Kings Lake |⁠ Lake Home Interior Design in Freeport, MN

A lake home built for family, gathering, and simple elegance.

“I began working with Valerie in the fall of 2021 with the idea to update our summer lake home in Minnesota. From the moment I met Valerie, I knew that she not only understood my vision but also my budget. Equally important, Valerie understood and valued my emotional investment in creating a place for family and friends to gather, enjoy lake life and recharge. The final result is a lake home of simple elegance, clean lines and comfort. Valerie is a fantastic communicator. Her estimates were very thorough and final costing was always very close to the estimate. She was always open to my design suggestions and product options. Valerie has a great relationship with her team of contractors and they all take pride in the quality of their work. If there is an issue, they come back and make it right. I would highly recommend Valerie's expertise, taste and creativity. My family loves time at our lake home!”
