79 WBM Above: Intimate lighting adds warmth and natural textures to the master bedroom. Opposite clockwise from top left: Daughters’ bedrooms are decorated with an eclectic array of furnishings. Headboards are made from wooden pallets. Bathroom vanities feature open shelves; storage bins find homes in mud room niches. At the top of the stairs are sliding glass doors leading to a den that has the best view of Whiskey Creek. The den is a space for the kids to get away, but not be closed in. Three bedrooms, one for a son in high school and two for the daughters in college, fill up the remainder of the upstairs and continue with the white walls, dark wood floors and the simple cottage appeal. Sunday afternoons, the family enjoys the water views from the backyard and participates in activities such as paddle boarding, kayaking, boating or just lounging on the raft. “When it’s high tide you can get in and go, you don’t have to think about it. It’s nice because we have privacy,” Tracey says. The Schmidt family has been in its Whiskey Creek home for one year. With three happy children and one happy dog, Tracey will frame her family’s traditions and the memories made by the creek. www.wrightsvillebeachmagazine.com home of distinction
