MiY 3d: Modern Cabin
Making it Yours (MiY) explores ways to use stylish investment pieces for the home while keeping up with changing lives and changing tastes. In this third edition, I’m focusing on the ever popular Madeline Weinrib Zig Zag Rug. It started out in the home of a young woman who had just splurged on the rug (it was the most expensive thing in her apartment!), and it is making its way with her through several changes of residence. We first saw it in the living/dining area of her girly apartment, and then in her bedroom. When she and her sweetie moved in together, they made the apartment more masculine, and now they’re updating it a bit.
This one is quite a departure from my normal style, but I’m liking it a lot. The chair, lamp, wire spheres, side tables, and paint color are all here from the last edition of MiY, but the feel has been totally changed. Art by Dolan Geiman is always a good choice, and I think he is one of those rare artists that appeal equally to men and women. A stately sofa with nailhead trim has replaced the old couch, and a pinecone pillow probably intended for Christmas decorating fits in well year-round here. I included the coffee table because even though it’s new, it looks like an old rustic piece.
We’re nearing the end of this edition of MiY now, and we’ll see the rug move into a dining room for the last installment.

Love the paint color, what a great trip down the man chic lane you’ve provided!
Love it! It’s nice to see something more masculine but still very much MIL. Can’t wait for the next installment.
Such great ideas! Your style is so fantastic.
Gorgeous – this is my favorite post (EVER) of your’s!!!
I love that sofa–it’s so sleek without being cold. The balance of this is so nice–cozy and homey but still modern and fresh.
Love the mood board. Just enough to get the theme. It would be easy for anyone else to go too kitchsy.
