The rustic, log cabin feel draws us back to a quiet time, one that is both charming and inviting. This project has all of these elements and more. The warmth of the logwood walls pairs perfectly with the soft blue cabinets and the strong contrast of the dark kitchen island completes the look. The cozy feel that the logs give carry over to the master bathroom giving the owners a unique space they can really enjoy. This project also has some fun features including an area to wash the dog and an open shelf pantry. A second kitchen downstairs means more space to entertain friends as well. From kitchens to bathrooms, this home’s rustic appeal makes it a place that takes a step back in time but comes with all the comforts of the 21st century.
Kitchen + Pantry
Objective: To design a kitchen that integrates with the log cabin walls and feel of the home.
This kitchen has unique needs, the cabinets had to mount and integrate directly into the logwood walls. We were up for the challenge and everyone was pleased with the final results. Color choices were also important in this design as we didn’t want the beauty of the cabinet design to get lost in all of the wood tones so a soft blue was selected for the perimeter of the kitchen and a shade of black for the island. The hardware was a different color for each area but similar in style making our point that you can often mix and match your hardware to still achieve a unified look. Lighting was a critical piece for this space, using under cabinet lighting eliminated the shadows that are common for this area, and the canned lighting provided targeted light throughout the kitchen, adding pendant lighting over the island provided the final illumination needed. The frosted glass front cabinet doors stand out against the cabin wall and make a beautiful look in the kitchen. One bonus area is the additional seating around the two unique live-edge tables. Surrounded by several chairs that have a rustic feel and vibe to them. Who wouldn’t want to come for a visit? There is also ample storage in the open shelved pantry along with additional cabinets which are perfect for keeping larger items like crock pots and serving platters. This project takes us back to a simpler time and draws you in for an evening of good food and conversation with friends.
Bathrooms
Objective: Create bathrooms that are functional and blend with the rustic log cabin style.
Soft gray is the perfect complement to the warm wood walls in this stunning master bathroom. The his and her sink combination allows each person to have their own separate space including a tall cabinet, drawers, and storage under the sink but in an asymmetrical design. The large, fully tiled walk-in shower is tucked neatly to the side has additional lighting and even a seated area. The guest bathroom is just the right size for storage and has sufficient counter space to even place extra towels for visitors.
Specialty Areas
Objective: From a second kitchen to a designated area to wash the dog, the homeowner wanted these spaces incorporated into the design.
The homeowners wanted to include some additional areas in their log cabin that would accommodate their specific needs. They decided to create a custom space where they could easily bathe their dogs and be able to store supplies. Deciding to include a beverage refrigerator to keep extra drinks cold for guests meant they would never run out and selecting the color red was a great choice for this space as it made it fun. A second kitchen was also created to provide additional space to host gatherings and parties.
