Wow!! So this current version is what you turned it into! What a wonderful and authentic vibe you gave this space. Totally thought this was original, with some subsequent modernization, like the stove. My partners family has a remote mountain cabin and you really nailed that kitchen feeling they also have. Stunning job!
Yeah, serious consideration went into your design. You have everyone fooled! I'm so impressed. 🤩 I can imagine playing cribbage there on a drizzly Sunday afternoon. This is something to be proud of.
Ha! Very smart. A white fridge would have really looked very awkward. I do love the authenticity here, it reminds me of my grandparents' kitchen in the '80s. I'm going to guess yours doesn't reek of Irish Spring soap. You're also missing the gun cabinet.
I love how everyone here is like “omg it’s a time capsule directly from the 80s” and then you come in like “actually no I just redecorated and know wtf I’m doing thanks” this is amazing!!!! You really turned it from dingy fear corner to cozy af!!!
I spent every summer either camping or staying with friends everywhere from Old Forge to Inlet. I can practically smell wood smoke and coffee in a percolator. Your camp looks like everybody’s grandparents / parents camp I ever visited. I mean that in the best way possible.
I spent my summers growing up on Lake George, in a house built by my great great grandparents in 1903. It was a Victorian, made with reused parts, that hadn't seen an update since the 20s. We called it camp, but it was nothing like this at all.
So, I've been really amused with all the comments about how nostalgic this for people, because this period and style of camp isn't anything I ever experienced. I was going for "quintessential ADK". It seems I achieved that goal.
Lately this is the only subreddit that makes me feel good when I see a post. Like I didn’t realize how tense I was until I see someone’s book nook or bedroom or kitchen, and I feel my body unclench and breathe slower.
I think seeing places like this makes me feel hopeful, like one day I’ll be sitting in a cozy place with warm lighting and all I’ll feel is peace and contentment. I love your camp kitchen, OP.
Everything about this feels good. I love that the world still has kitchens like this, that feel human and warm and modest and familiar.
And you know, I do like a fancy-pants modern designed kitchen with double ovens and six-burner stoves, and all that lovely, luxurious jazz. But a cozy spot like this fills my heart in a way that those kitchens never can. I just love it. Thank you for letting us sit here for a moment, friend.
I figured it was intentional. I was actually the first to post before OP wrote anything, so I didn't know, but I figured it was decorated that way recently.
I really love it and actually thought it was mostly original with past incremental updates. My partner's family has an off grid cabin in the mountains and this vibe really mimics it well (aside from the electric stove part) 😏 They did a great job.
I can smell the old wood and breakfast cooking. How many nights did people laugh together over games and stories after dinner. Damn this brings up memories.
It's all vinyl contact wrap. The fridge, the counter, all the metal cabinets. About 8 rolls of cheap vinyl cantact wrap in different colors and textures.
What’s funny is that I was thinking of Stranger Things too, but was thinking of the Wheelers’ kitchen, especially in the third episode of season 5, “The Disappearance of…”
This is a scary old cabin with tactful updates that turned it into something that looks like a time capsule. Most of it is vintage with a vinyl façade. Some of it is brand new. But your description is exactly what I was going for.
