Community living at Lodges at Lake Salish means plenty of opportunities to share the holiday spirit. Host a casual get-together like a hot cocoa bar or cookie exchange with neighbors to celebrate and connect.

Setting Time Aside for Self-Care

The holiday season can get busy, so don’t forget to take care of yourself. Create a quiet nook in your apartment with a soft blanket, a warm drink, and your favorite book or playlist.

Take time for small self-care rituals, like journaling, meditating, or simply enjoying the glow of your holiday lights. These little pauses help you recharge and truly savor the season.

At Lodges at Lake Salish, your apartment is more than a home—it’s a holiday haven. With these tips, your space will shine with joy and comfort all season long.

As summer approaches, keeping your pet cool becomes a priority, especially in apartment living at Lodges at Lake Salish. Here are some essential pet safety tips to ensure your furry friend stays comfortable in warm weather.

Practice Basic Summer Safety

Firstly, ensure your apartment stays cool. Use fans or air conditioning to maintain a comfortable temperature indoors. Close blinds or curtains during the hottest parts of the day to block direct sunlight. Always provide fresh, cool water for your pet, and consider adding ice cubes to keep it cooler for longer. Schedule walks and outdoor playtime for early mornings or late evenings when the temperatures are lower. Remember, hot pavement can burn your pet’s paws, so always check the ground with your hand before taking your pet outside. Never leave your pet in a parked car, as temperatures can rise dangerously fast, even with the windows cracked open.

Local Pet Shops for Petcare

Stores like PetSmart and Petco carry cooling mats, vests, and pet-safe sunscreen, all designed to protect your pet from the heat.

Some shops even provide mobile grooming services, making it convenient to keep your pet’s coat in top condition without leaving your home.

By following these summer safety tips and utilizing local pet care resources, you can ensure your pet stays cool and healthy throughout the season. Enjoy the warm weather at Lodges at Lake Salish, knowing your pet is well taken care of.

DIY Decor Ideas To Spruce Up Your Apartment

Bottle,Garden,Decoration,In,The,Living,Room

Welcome to Lodges at Lake Salish, where you can enjoy the ideal combination of elegance and style in our stunning apartments with lake views. Are you ready to adorn your living area with original and reasonably priced DIY apartment décor ideas? At Lodges at Lake Salish, we recognize how important it is to add a homey atmosphere to your property without undertaking extensive remodeling.

Use paddles to decorate

One of the best ways to incorporate an outdoor adventure theme into the interior design of your lake house is to decorate it with items like snowshoes or kayak paddles. The kayak paddles produce a nautical, rustic look that isn’t excessive.

Create a Gallery

A lake house theme that evokes the vast outdoors will make your house feel cozier. These motivating pieces come in various patterns that you may choose from at art stores. A gallery can tie your concept together at a lake property. Narrative paintings are also a wonderful way to add flair to an otherwise boring wall.

Drapes and Curtains

Use curtains and drapes sparingly. Choosing the wrong colors or materials can ruin the atmosphere, feel, and appearance. Use neutral colors to ensure the curtains and drapes match the surroundings without detaining from the room’s view. Go for materials that showcase the latest designer trends while maintaining an atmosphere suitable for apartment living.

Local Attractions

Examining the amenities and resources in the area can inspire you to improve the aesthetics of your apartment. Consider visiting Salish Sea Market for artistic expression, ceramics, and photography.
