I know the following statement might sound a little strange considering I'm only 28 years old, but I often find myself thinking about where I'm going to live when I retire. While most people gravitate towards beachside destinations such as Florida or California, I dream of living in a secluded lakeside cottage with creaky pine flooring, white-washed wood paneled walls, high ceilings, exposed beams and big windows. Muskoka is one of the top cottage destinations in Canada and even though I've never been, something tells me I would fit right into the country lifestyle... As I surfed the net this evening, I stumbled upon the Decormag website which happened to feature a beautiful summer home in Muskoka. As I glanced through the pictures, I couldn't help but imagine how magical it would be to live in such close proximity to nature, far away from the city, surrounded by nothing other than giant evergreens...
