""The cabin was built in the '80s and looked like a traditional cabin: dark wood paneling, wood cabinets, dark linoleum floors (which were glued to our concrete slab and felt very cold on your feet - not ideal for winters in upstate New York!)" Daniela says. "The wood-on-wood aesthetic might sound charming when I describe it, but it was not in the best shape, especially the kitchen.""
"There are some incredibly chic cabins out there, but for some, cabins' all-over brown paneling can be overwhelming. This definitely rang true for designer Daniela Araya and her husband, Austin, in the kitchen of their Catskills-based cabin. There wasn't much she and Austin loved about the original kitchen, looks-wise, but they did like its ample size and layout. "What was really special to us was that we could see the potential immediately," Daniela says. "That's what stood out to us the most about the cabin in general.""
The Catskills cabin was built in the 1980s and originally featured traditional dark wood paneling, wood cabinets, and glued dark linoleum floors over concrete that felt cold in winter. Designer Daniela Araya and her husband, Austin, disliked the wood-on-wood aesthetic and the worn condition of the kitchen but appreciated the room's ample size and functional layout. They immediately saw potential in the space. The couple completed a full DIY renovation of the cabin, beginning with the kitchen to transform the dated finishes into a more livable, updated environment suited to upstate New York winters.
