Great Log Cabin Bathrooms

With the help of primitive and rustic decorating specialist Dagny Musclow (The Old Tin Shed in Bird’s Creek) we’re pulling together the ‘look’ for every room in the log home.

To whet our whistle and get us thinking about original and themed room designs, Dagny had us sit down with a stack of magazines and imagine what it would be like living in those rooms.

Barnboard for the Bathroom

Veronica found this and we all adore the look…

It is only fitting, after all, that Dagny introduced us to this style of decorating - her home office is floor to ceiling barnboard and she sells many barnboard home decor items at her shop (Check out The Old Tin Shed - Rustic Decorating Catalog to get some great rustic ideas for home decor.)

Salvage Shopping Anyone?

Having decorated a few houses of my own in rustic style, I know full well what this means for us and I just love the idea. We need to hit the salvage shops - now in nearly every town, as well as online - to find some antique sinks, mirrors, and plumbing hardware. As I buy pieces, reproduction or actual antique, I will show you the deals I find and the prices we paid.
