Log cabin kitchen makeover
Comments (8)Our summer cabin is also natural wood throughout the inside. We also recently painted the cabinets because they have turned orange in the 50+ years we have lived there. Our counters are laminate, so I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a backsplash when we painted . (we are DIYers and live 400+ miles from the cabin.) Bottom line? We have kept the wood as a backsplash and have never had a problem. It wipes clean and stays fresh looking....See MoreKitchen makeover

Comments (2)gray green walls are working against you. the floor is good. the pinkish can be made to look "a light wood" which is really what it is. depends on if you want to go the interior design route w surface changes or major changes /alterations to cabs. I wouldnt alter them until I did some other things. below: parchment color walls/ removing some wall cabinets/ a cleaner white shade for counter or find a granite.......See MoreIn need of Ideas for Kitchen Makeover
Comments (17)Looking again at the pictures, I would definitely paint the cabinets. The dark wood of your dining table just doesn’t work with the kitchen cabinet wood tone. And the upper door arches don’t work with the simple style of your table and a really updated look. If you do decide to replace the upper doors, you might consider doing glass in one or two upper doors where dishes are stored - maybe next to the sink. Getting rid of that arch piece over the sink window is a must, and should let in more light and make the kitchen feel more open. The countertops are white - and look okay? And are another big expense to replace if not necessary. But I wouldn’t like to try and do (match) white cabinets with them. A blue, green, gray - whatever works with the rest of you home’s decor would be better. You can still have a FEW things on top of the cabinets, but simple decor pieces only - a FEW baskets and a FEW pottery pieces perhaps, to add texture and color, draw the eye up and fill the gap. The top trim piece should be removable and could be cut down to a simpler edge - instead of the dramatic fan out at the corners. That would also update the look. Adding pulls instead of knobs could be a problem because of the existing holes, but at least changing the knob hardware to black or a dark oil-rubbed bronze would add a better accent with that dark table. Light floors are in and seem to continue under the table, so why change?! If hardwood and you are worried about wear, add a mat or rug. And yes, the fan definitely needs to be replaced by something more modern - if a fan is really needed at all? or a simple flush mount light fixture. Maybe even a simple flush mount with dark metal trim like the knobs. Assuming the dark dining table is staying, you need to make any kitchen changes work and flow with it....See MoreGolde Sohn
