Pendleton Upholstered Headboards


I thought a quick google would reveal easy plans for this idea, but I could not find a single reference! As we are renting the cabin, I knew the Pendleton flair would need to appear in a non-blanket capacity.

I started by drawing up plans. We did two versions, one is for the main room and framed in wood with floating nightstands. The other is all upholstered and has a floating shelf above it for storage and lighting (as it sits in a nook).

Modern Adirondack Chairs

I had a vision of red chairs on the porch, but the traditional Adirondack shape has never appealed to me. We followed this online tutorial I found on Pinterest and they turned out amazing! Made from pine 1x4s they came together per the instructions with a few tweaks, of course.

Weekend One

We went up Friday night after finally closing! We took our camping kitchen up and tried to familiarize ourselves with the place.

Fix boiler? It kept cutting off. Made for a cold morning on Saturday!


Waking up to the forest outside log walls felt viscerally familiar to mornings in my parent's redwood cabin on the east coast. I'm so excited to make this a part of our life here.


PS these window treatments are down already.
