Alaskan Cabin Remodel

Read the full story of this makeover

A bright crimson door greets visitors to Jennifer and Noah Jenkins' Tee Harbor, AK, cabin.

The kitchen ― rebuilt from the bare studs ― features contemporary touches such as concrete countertops, which the Jenkinses taught themselves how to pour.

An antique hutch gets a second life in this remodeled Alaska cabin. Now it holds wineglasses and a collection of vintage bread boxes.

Old salvaged oars become handrails for the cabin's stairway and complement the white beadboard walls.

Galvanized steel planters provide just the right amount of rugged storage ― and a fun metallic glint ― above coat hooks in a mudroom.

Noah Jenkins built the elevated staircase that links house and trail.
