Steal This Look: A Wood-Paneled Camp Kitchen in Los Angeles

November 23, 2021

Earlier this month, we featured a fully off-the-grid cabin in the Angeles National Forest renovated by Los Angeles design firm Commune. Clad in cedar, solid white oak, and concrete floors, the project is one of the most refined cabins we’ve seen yet. The small camp-style kitchen includes a plethora of design elements to co-opt, beyond the special details such as finger joinery cabinets and limewashed walls. Here we extract a few of our most favorite details with sources to match.
