Here’s a really nice kitchen…
But…
I try to persuade my clients away from having a log kitchen because…
A) The kitchen cabinets cover up most of the logs… why go through all the trouble and expense of having nice logs and then covering them up? Plus it is a lot harder to mount cabinets on the irregular surface of a log wall.
B) Log cabins tend to be darker rooms whereas a kitchen needs to be a bright space (notice how all the lights are turned on in this photo while light is pouring in from the window?)
C) Log cabins are trickier to wire and plumb than more traditional framed rooms are. Kitchens need plenty of outlets and sources of water.
D) Log cabins tend to have low ceilings and kitchens tend to be better spaces with taller ceilings.
