A 600 sq. ft. California Cabin Retreat

Stocked with finds from budget go-to's like west elm and ikea, this rustic retreat was made beautiful on a modest budget. Even the cabin (it's a rental) was found on craigslist! 

The cabin was built in the 1970's, but they've managed to make the wool paneling look fresh.

The chairs are by West Elm.  I have been scouring Craigslist for a similar table - I love it!

LOVE the chevron poufs - they add a punch of mod to the space.

I could read on this couch all afternoon.

Any retreat needs a well stocked bar. I am a coffee girl above a cocktail girl...so I might have a fancy coffee bar instead.

Furniture trend - do you like it?

Kilim rugs will never go out of style, and it seems like furniture manufacturers are running with that notion and applying it to all matter of furniture. Obviously, this isn't anything new, but I've definitely noticed Kilim upholstered benches and ottomans popping up more and more. I think that they fit in really well in a crafts style interior, and they remind me of the eclectic apartment of one of my father's well-traveled friends. Of course, I'd need to find one in colors and a pattern I really like. How about you?
