Suggestions for Cabinet Hardware in Log Home Kitchen
Comments (14)Logcabinkitchen, thanks! The back wall of the backsplash does match the red loft wall. The red wood is actually reclaimed barnwood from a dismantled barn. I don't have any pictures posted on here but I can post a link to the photo bucket album. It's just a small vacation cabin we built, so it's on a much smaller scale then yours, but maybe you'll get a few ideas! Here is a link that might be useful: cabin photos...See MorePaint color?drywall/backsplash tile/granite counter-log home kitchen
Comments (11)Thanks Patricia...paled grayed green sounds appealing-Ill look at those colors...as for cabinets-yes, theyll be installed directly on the log wall...we're blessed with an amazing cabinetmaker who is skilled in log home cabinet installation....we also have kiln dried logs-so they wont shrink/settle too much. Ill attach a pic (not a great one, but the only I could find at the moment) of the lower furing wall we had originally built for the lowers--then tore out-because that would have made a backsplash stick out several inches-a ledge--it would have looked weird, & would have pushed fridge & cabinets out too..eating up several inches of kitchen space. So, we took out the furing wall-moved the fridge outlet to the corner, literally, of the log wall & drywall (can see it in my 1st pic of original post-midway up the wall) & plumbing was able to come up through the floor instead of the wall-I conceded & instead of a wall switch am doing an air switch in counter for disposal-only thing left was switch for over sink light-which for convenience-I wanted near the sink-so we're doing a shallow mount light switch under the upper cabinet, to right of sink-unconventional I believe-but a good tradeoff in my mind. Our cabinetmaker is making the upper cabinet rails a little longer anyway for lights/outlets under the cabinets-so I think it will work out ok. I may need to always point out to guests where that switch is-but worth it in order to have a normal 4" granite backsplash on the log wall. The tile will cover the open areas on the drywall/range side--including behind the chimney hood. Sooo..thats the plan-its been one of those ongoing challenges that went on for quite some time-& we finally got everyomes input & solved the problem..yay! :) Now for the fun stuff :)...See MorePainting kitchen cabinets in log home
Comments (44)Living in a log home myself, I wouldn't paint the wood cabinets. And in fact, in just about any home, I would not do it. I do understand about perhaps too much wood... but my interior walls are sheetrock with lots of wood trim. So... I paint the sheetrock, not the wood. I like the green quartz choice - parts of my kitchen counters are somewhat similar, form Viatera. But green inclusions with brown flecks. I find that it works in a good log environment. My other counter is Luna Eco from Silestone, which from a distance looks white. Personally, in a log home I can't want to paint any trim or cabinets. I'd find the best stain tone, instead. (My interior stain is all "natural" toned - just a hint darker than when the logs were cut.)...See Morewhat color cabinets for log home
Comments (7)I think the walls, cabinets and floor should be the same tone and all of the flooring would have to be changed in the open area. They could also paint cupboards and/or island if adding one (as you mentioned layout would be changing) to break it up a and select a color that works with the rest of the space. It may really help them decide by looking at lots of inspiration pictures...See Morejoann23456
