A Dining Nook & Custom Sofa Breathe New "Living Room" Into a Cozy Space
After a fun winter with friends, we realized a few updates would make Happy Cabin more functional for a crowd. Over the last few weekends, we added a big, custom leather sofa for lounging and a dining nook for family dinners. The sofa has a full-sized memory foam mattress for extra guests. The table has a live-edge feel and a dining bench for cozy dinners in front of the fire.
The inspiration for our updates was our first winter of cabin life. One chilly evening, we had a group of 13 friends cooking, eating and playing games. Tucking the table into a nook made more space for a larger living room. The custom sofa takes advantage of every inch with comfortable seating for 7 adults and even more kids. We toyed with the idea of removing the rocker/recliner to open the flow between the dining and living area, but it is so nice to rock in front of the fire with a good book. Function won out over form.

We caught some early-morning prowlers on our security camera! It was a good reminder for all of us how important it is to STAY AWARE--to stay aware of our local ecology, to stay aware of how our actions affect our wildlife neighbors, to stay aware of how important it is to store food in bear-safe containers and make sure left-overs don't get left outside.
