Log Home Remodels

Log home remodels are just as important to plan as starting from scratch.  When remodeling a log home, it might something as simple as adding architectural elements or something as complex as adding on or expanding rooms. Whatever the case, ideas abound.  Here are some to consider before starting your project:

1. Use rustic railings, banisters, and balusters.
2. Add timber framing to ceilings.
3. Create distressed mantels and stone work to fireplaces.
4. Use hewned wood flooring with knots and other natural enhancements.
5. Change out counter and bar tops so they are made from timber or log.
6. Bring in log posts to place in corners, frame larger room entries, and to stairways.
7. Accent window casings, doorways, entryways, and outdoor rooms with timber and log elements.
8. Cover over accent walls using tongue and groove paneling or other wood treatments.
9. Bathroom vanities can be changed out to feature antique looking pieces.
10. Stain glassed windows, accent pieces hung in windows, and light fixtures add to the ambiance and beauty.

The suggestions here are meant as a springboard to inspire your creativity.  Think outside the box when it comes to your log home remodeling ideas.  Consider themed rooms, and do not forget to address the landscaping of the log home as well.
