One of my best buddies, a retired interior designer, gave me the opportunity to collaborate with her on a new project- decorating a main cabin and two smaller guest cabins on land they purchased. I previously helped with her main residence and a beach house. We work so well together I jumped at the chance- and getting to the forests and mountains of North Carolina seemed like a great idea to me. We recently completed the installation of all three cabins so I thought I'd share some pictures and the process.
The land has its own waterfall and is truly remote in Spruce Pine, NC. They had to clear the land, install conduit for electric, create roads so it is drivable, and they even got to name the street! How special is that?
These cabins are prefabricated. They were able to select the models they wanted and we added our own hardware, lighting, paint selections (the first time they had a request for painted floors and fireplaces) to make it more personal.
After seeing the floor plans and discussing the feel she wanted (think modern cabins with some rustic touches) I got to work with mood boards and sourcing product that was available right away.
Here are the mood boards for the main cabin shown here painted navy. It has a primary bed and bathroom with a tub and shower, two bedrooms upstairs with one shower/bath combo, a large living area, laundry, kitchen and third bathroom and a guest room downstairs. It's a good size!

Here are some installation photos of the main house. We are so pleased with the outcome. We are thinking of having slides installed to slide downhill from the guest cabins to the main cabin. Why not?
Below are some photos of the small guest cabins painted white. I was shown images of vintage art, accessories and rugs already purchased that were inspiration for the selections I made.
We also found more pieces to integrate into the spaces at an antique market while there.
Each cabin has a main bedroom with queen bed, a bathroom, small kitchen, and loft bunk space.

Install days are the most gratifying but also the most exhausting! We filled each cabin with toiletries, kitchenware, blankets to curl up in, games to play, coffee makers, and more. The moving crew was amazing and after 5 trucks and 5 days, it was complete. Because of the remote location, multiple smaller trucks had to be used. 11 Mattresses got installed. All beds were made and art was hung. We walked up hill and got sweaty but had the most fun and rewarded ourselves with take-out and wine nightly :)
If you have any questions, shoot me a message. These cabins were really well done and we were impressed with quality.
I hope you enjoy your August and last month of summer. Fall is just around the corner!
