Need help furnishing and decorating log cabin

LK Homes
hace 5 años

Hi, We just bought an older log cabin and are in the process of updating it. I need help furnishing and decorating the living room and the bedrooms. I feel like there is too much wood in the whole house (the log walls, wood ceiling and the oak floor is almost in every room). I picked a Petra Slate Horizon tile (see in the picture) to cool down the orange color of wood. I was planning to tile the kitchen and the sun room with the Horizon tile. I do not know what colors and accessories to bring to this log cabin so it has a cozy mountain feel, but at the same time is a little bit modern. I guess i am looking for a modern/lodge style if it exists. Any help and advise from professionals is very appreciated. Please see the pictures.

    While we wait for your countertop photo . I am asking for that as from what it looks like that the slate you are considering is not going to work with it. Also, the yellow in the slate is going to make the orange come out more. I've had both slate and wood floors in the kitchen. Wood floors are much softer on the legs, warmer and if you drop something less chance of it breaking though it could dent the floor. I also found that the slate is harder to clean with all the crevices. I think a wood floor speaks more luxury than slate, too.

    I know that you want to break up all the "orange" but once you start layering in the furnishing and accessories the focus will be taken off of all the orange. Personally, I think you have great wood floors and I wouldn't touch them and I really don't see "orange." I see beautiful wood with the right furnishings. I'd rather see you spend the money for the kitchen on possibly new countertops, if they are what I think they are, and stainless steel appliances.

    If you are dead set on changing out the flooring how far are you thinking of bringing the slate out? To the column?

    Is this a full-time residence? If not, is this seasonal? Just trying to get a feel for when it will be used as that could dictate the furnishings.

      Yes, we are taking the furniture on Saturday and I am hoping that we assemble most of it over the weekend. The mattresses are coming on Tuesday but due to my work schedule, I won't be able to set up the beds until Thursday. You will see a lot before you leave but also you will have plenty mistakes to fix when you come back :)

      I did not buy the black center piece at C&B. It was too big, too heavy, too expensive ($165 with tax). I would need to spend another $100 to fill it up with candles or other decor. Also, I don't want to pay about $200 for 2 hurricanes for the island form BL. Do we have a cheaper option for the island decor? What about just having my fruit bowl and maybe fresh flowers?

      You can try the red bowl on the island. My only concern is that the red may clash with the orange in the perimeter counter top but since the bowl isn't sitting directly on it it may be fine. I'd start there and then if we need to go in a different direction we can. Have you looked recently at TJ Maxx or Home Goods for candle sticks/hurricane or a vessel of some sort for the DR table?

      Looks like Hobby Lobby has a sale on the fake fruits & vegetables right now.

      Don't forget that you have those 2 domed pieces that might also work on the island.

      Thank you. I forgot about my domed pieces. I will use them on the kitchen island with the red bowl.

      Are you still planning to surprise me with the faux fur blanket and pillows for MB? I purchased this exact set with the yellow quilt.

    • tedbixby
      hace 5 años

      I'm guessing that the red bowl and dome pieces aren't going to compliment each other but it doesn't hurt to try. I might be pleasantly surprised :)

      Dang, I forgot about the pillow and faux fur...

      As far as the pillows on the bed. Are you thinking of doing exactly what the photo shows? Are you thinking of using that one pillow that keeps showing up in your photos.

      I was thinking to do the same set up as in the picture and I would also use the blue pillow i have

      and I also have 3 of these euro pillows at home. You will probably say "no" to these. It was one of the first purchases for the lodge. I bought them over the holidays before we even closed on the mountain house, thinking that this linen color will work with anything :)


    • tedbixby
      hace 5 años

      Oh yes- the "will work with everything" thought. And then it doesn't! I think we should wait til you get the bed made and see if we need to do anything.

      I was thinking about the MB dresser. Do you know if this dresser is still available? Sorry for the poor photo as I didn't see it on it's own in your IB.

      No, this dresser is not available. I contacted the seller multiple times but they never responded. I will set up my bed with the navy bedding tonight and see what else we are missing.

    • tedbixby
      hace 5 años

      OK. We'll get it figured out. From what I could find, the MB bed and night stands were part of the Newport collection which was available in 2004. Charish has the QUEEN bed for sale for $2300. You scored on this buy:)

      I thought that the bed was called Somerset. It is still available on EA website but I do not want to pay EA prices.

      Oh, I'll have to go look. Either way, you still scored :)!

      I relooked at the one on Charish. I think they made a mistake as it looks like your Somerset. Thanks for letting me know as it helps in my search.

      I am sorry, but I changed my mind on the GB dresser. I never blue taped it in the room but I think that it might be too big with 2 queen beds and 2 sliding barn doors behind it. I decided to set up the beds first and see how much space I have left for a dresser. I think, I'd prefer to have a smaller table to put the TV on and not the full size dresser in GB. If I have enough space and can buy the white dresser the same day.

    • tedbixby

      Do you know if it is on the showroom floor? If so, you could take a drawer from the night stand and see if the stains compliment each other. It's not bad and better than others you have recently show though it is still a bit casual.

      I just ate a whole sleeve of Mint Girl Scout cookies in 15 min.. thanks Girl Scouts for not making me feel guilty for eating them since my purchase of 5 boxes were going for a good cause. But dang, it is way too easy to eat a whole sleeve. And I don't think I'm the only one that does this in one sitting?

      I think you are doing the right thing of waiting on the GB dresser until you get the beds in there. Especially since you aren't sure of it fitting. Am I right to guess that the closet is a walk-in with some shelving so a dresser isn't really needed?

      Yes, there is a walk in closet with shelving but I still need a little table for the TV. It can not be on the wall because of the sliding barn doors.

      Do not worry, you are no the only one who can eat the whole sleeve of the mint cookies. We used to eat bags, not just sleeves per day in the office. Mint and the coconut are my favorites!

      What do you think about something like this for GB TV table for not so "matchy matchy" look?


    • tedbixby
      hace 5 años

      Now you are thinking like a decorator. Much more interesting than matchy, matchy. I'm on board with this line of thinking for the GB. And I like this piece as it has has some drawers to it and has that "rustic" feel to it like the beds.

      Thank you!!! I will lower the horse painting when I am by myself. I had my mother in law telling me where to hang it and I didn't want to argue with her too much. It was even higher and I made them lower by one log.

      I still have two blank kitchen walls. Any ideas what I need to do here?

      Kjoy - thank you for the sketches! I love the gray frame too but I am not sure I like the scull...

      The size of the moose painting fits perfectly in the LR. I was thinking to buy it and see how it looks in the house.

      I don't know what I want to do with the empty kitchen wall. I like how the bar cart looks in there but I am not sure if I want to give this option to the renters to drive around the house with the drink cart. Also, I don't know if this would be a good space for a desk, but I would like to have some work/office area to set up my laptop instead of working at the dining table.


    • kjoy1

      Ok. No worries. Just throwing out ideas at you:) I will continue to ponder that kitchen wall. I think the moose is definitely worth trying.

      I am working on M bedding, bath rugs and towels right now. I do not like the yellow quilt for M bedding i have. I ordered new quilts in ivory/beige colors from Macy's to see if they might work better with the navy duvet cover and pillow cases.

      Please post all your ideas for any part of the house as they are very helpful to me. Ted is on vacation and I need as much guidance as possible with the final details from all of you! Thank you!

      This is my current color combination for M bed.
