From past to present, the retreat continues
Modern conveniences of a bathroom, full kitchen, gas-fired furnace with air conditioning, and bedroom doors instead of curtains have all been employed in cabins now for fifty years, but they were disguised in a structure that was clad inside and out with wood, evoking a rustic style. Today exterior wood has been replaced by metal, exposed concrete or synthetic material, such as cement board. Inside, painted drywall, tiled walls and concrete floors give sway ( A ).
Some have referred to this trend as the Dwell-Ikea-Houzz movement, consumers having been influenced by products and social media. I’ve noticed that TV ads for cars, household goods and food products are much more likely to feature them inside or out of an ultramodern dwelling. Outfitting a cabin with finds from antiques is on the wane unless the stores feature mid-century modern furnishings.
