Branching out
The Adirondacks go glam with earthy faux bois (and real wood) accessories.
While white faux bois accessories -- emphasis on the “faux” -- looked spot-on in recent seasons, the trend today is toward realism, with rustic-yet-refined materials that are modeled from, or often are, actual wood. These pieces may take style cues from old-fashioned camps, but the look fits as easily into city spaces as out-of-town retreats.
