The cabin's two upstairs bedrooms are compact, including this bedroom for the couple's two young children.

Though the three-bedroom cabin is just 1,500 square feet, Josh Kjenner's design prioritized storage. These lacquered cabinets include custom pulls by builder Etchbuilt.

For the upstairs bedroom, pub-grade wood flooring was chosen, which helped reduce cost.

The living room sits beneath the mezzanine-like upstairs bedrooms, with a knotty fir ceiling providing a touch of rustic cabin vibes. The Chill Time sofa is by Sundays.

A centerpiece of the living room is the Stuv 16-Cube fireplace, sitting atop Ikea drawers outfitted with iKustom metal fronts. The tiles behind the stove are by Micro, and the wall sconce by Viscosi.

Josh Kjenner's design devoted a majority of the square footage to ground-floor public areas: a combined living-dining-kitchen area that's conducive to entertaining. The kitchen stools are by Bouclair.
