Built in 1932 as the prototype for a planned community on Lake Michigan, this cabin came with a jumble of Old Hickory furniture—antiques that today carry an impressive appraisal. Instead of fighting the lodge vibe, the owners embraced it, tweaking things here and there to suit their style. For example, they painted the master bedroom's 1930s maple bed and dresser black, then "aged" them with a sanding block.
Streamlined Master Bedroom
In this New York house, tongue-and-groove planks line the walls of the master bedroom and cover its headboard, which conceals a closet (accessed on the other side). The sconce is from Restoration Hardware; the navy blanket from Layla.
Country White
A plaid blanket by L.L. Bean laid across an iron bed from Bear Mountain Mercantile adds color and pattern to a guest room.
Bright idea: Turn old sporting goods into witty wall art by spray painting them white.
Cape Cod Room
A coat of clean, fresh white paint will instantly attract light in any bedroom. Here, a woven-frame mirror from West Elm paired with a mid-century dresser casts a refined look. The gilded touches serve as an interesting contrast to the rural, airy feel created by the connecting screened-in porch.
