Tina Spangler, a.k.a LuxtonLake, uprooted herself from her New York City apartment and lifestyle for the woods of upstate New York. She found her home in a forgotten community in Narrowsburg, NY called Luxton Lake. Once a thriving vacation destination for African-American New Yorkers the area was mostly abandoned in the 1970's when the damn was removed and the lake was drained. Tina found a dilapidated 1950's cabin in foreclosure and with very little funds, decided to take the leap and fix it up.
See how she did it and get inspired by her unique vintage style!
