Putting the Design All Together

As we search for stuff for the cabin we run across items occasionally that although they might not be for the construction of the cabin, we have to buy them for decorating when it's done.  Since we are stuck here in March waiting for spring to officially arrive I thought I would post a few pictures of some of the items we have bought for the cabin.  Double click on the photos to see the details.

This is a ceiling fan we purchased to be installed in the loft above the bed.  I think this will be so beautiful turning at a slow speed on hot summer evenings.

We found this pine table and six chairs at a thrift store.  A little sanding and varathane and this should look fantastic in the dining area.

This is a coffee table for the great room.  It is a slab of cedar tree 4 inches thick set on twisted oak tree roots for legs from the Washington state area.  It came out of a lodge up in Wyoming I was told.

I bought this antique bowl and jug as a Christmas gift for Cheri.  I think she's planning on using a triangular wood stand in the loft bathroom to display it.  The bowl is about 18 inches in diameter.

We have ideas of using glass door knobs and escutcheon plates like these for all of the interior doors.  All of them will be different, but the glass door knobs will all match.  Sounds like fun to me.  So far we have collected just a few.

The ceiling in the cabin will be 16 inch diameter log construction with tongue and groove pine spanning the entire surface.  Similar to these photos.

Well, we'll keep dreaming of summer and posting every so often.
