The House
Aaah, cabin life. Chill, cozy, and — in the case of this ’70s A-frame in Soda Springs, California — cramped, dark and dated! That was before designers Christina Valencia and Kele Dobrinski got their hands on it. Kele’s parents, Jim and Kim, had bought the Lake Tahoe–area house for their whole family to enjoy as a getaway. “There’s something so picturesque and quirky about A-frames,” says Christina. “The shape is just fun, like a permanent tent.” The whole house, trim included, is painted the same custom moody blue. The color is just as striking next to leafy trees in summer as it is to snow in winter.
