Finishing the Cabin Basement

We've had the cabin for almost three years now and we've finally reached the point to finish our walk-out basement. I'm looking forward to using it as additional entertaining space. Greg has visions of putting animal heads on the wall....seriously, he's going to get me kicked out of my membership to Defenders of Wildlife & The National Wildlife Federation! :-)

Anyways, we decided to do the walls in tongue & groove wood to continue our theme. One of my unnamed relatives likes to remark about our cabin "it's too bad you don't have a wall to paint." It's a log cabin! And also I'm too lazy to paint walls......hee,hee!

Here's phase 1 - first wall is done and so is the stair landing.









Anyways, while Greg is dreaming about his potential man cave, I'm thinking about where the wine cellar is going to go......

Last of the photos

I just realized I've taken thousands of photos of our log home. Here is the last of them. Some of these you may have already seen before. Our place is still a work in progress and my next projects include landscaping, finishing the basement and completing the loft furnishings. Oh - and getting a real LIVE dog to put in there! Greg - if you're reading this - get ready!

P.S. Each Thursday for the rest of April, I am going to draw a name out of my followers and send them a SURPRISE GIFT from my nature store. So you get ready too!






Here's the loft freshly carpeted. Looks like a great place for a party!





My moose themed bathroom.




I don't know who is going to change those light bulbs!





Can you picture Scarlett O'hara coming down these stairs? ha,ha!






Here's our log cabin before it was stained.





We stained it with a medium red-tone brown. The darker stains last longer - approximately 5 - 6 years.




This year we'll be able to stain our deck. This is my observation point to check on all my neighbors. Seriously.





Marvin has requested a window seat. We'll see....
