On The Inside

 

 

 

 

 

 

During our log home restoration, we did extensive renovation to the exterior and also to the interior. Actually, it was more my wife and her ideas that did the interior decorating.

When we bought our log home, it was pretty plain on the inside, that is until my wife got to work.  Starting in the kitchen, the cabinets were light maple, the countertops were butcherblock and the ceiling is textured.

To give it a more “cozy” look, she put ceramic tile over the butcherblock. The cabinets were darkened by using a propane torch and lightly charring the wood and then applying a mahogany gel stain. The ceiling beams are 1×6 western red cedar attacthed to 2×4 blocks stained with a walnut oil based stain. The island was an old dresser that was modified and is setting on 2×4 blocks ( because I never finished it) and the “stuff”, well you will have to talk to my wif about that. I think she made a deal with a certian restaurant.  Staye tuned for more “On The Inside”.
