▲ Top: The kitchen’s pine cabinets were transformed with green paint, enhancing the tones of the large expanses of wood surfaces and complementing the butcher block countertops. A new white penny tile backsplash was installed to complete the update while maintaining a heritage look Hickox prefers. ◄ An addition in 2014 added a spacious kitchen and gathering area. Hickox planned it carefully so the soaring ceilings fill the space with volume, making it feel much larger. Encircled with windows, the room feels light and airy. A built-in window bench is topped with a twin size mattress, making it ideal for dining, sleeping and providing storage underneath. A sofa bed offers queen size sleeping accommodations. The kitchen dining chairs, which date back to the 30s found a new life here and are paired with an antique pine drop leaf table. ▼ A bright red door welcomes you into the living room. A new, modern sofa is equipped with another pull-out bed. In total the cabin can sleep at least six adults and two children. Bedding can be hidden away in the rustic blanket box/coffee table.
Durable stain-proof fabrics were chosen when reupholstering the window bench. Benjamin Moore Peale Green HC-121 was used on the kitchen cabinets.
