Powell Brower Interiors

The owners of a cabin near Shenandoah National Forest in Amissville, Virginia, tapped Powell Brower Interiors to outfit their retreat for entertaining and weekend guests. “We added sleeping areas, game tables for both adults and children and enough lounge seating for a crowd,” principal Nancy Powell relates. “There’s also a basement theater and a custom bunkroom.”

Furnishings were arranged to maximize views; pieces highlight wood trim and organic materials. Says Powell, “It’s a refuge to let the clients recharge and soak up the scenery.”

"It’s an organic, warm, textural space appropriate to both function and location."
