welcome to the lily pad cottage
Hi I’m Kelly and welcome to The Lily Pad Cottage. A place for all things creative. I love to share our life on the lake one project at a time. Home decor, recipes, cocktails, fashion, and fun. You’ll find a little bit of everything here!

I hope I inspire you to make your home a welcoming place for your family, try a new recipe, or just enjoy the view!
