Welcome to the Lakehouse

Hey there! I'm Tanya

Welcome to life Dans le Lakehouse
("in the lakehouse") - where beachy meets mid-century.

Plus learn from my adventures raising chickens, gardening, and living more sustainably on the shores of Lake Superior.

You can also find me on bookshelves! I co-wrote a DIY book called "How to Fix Stuff" - linked below.
