Wouldn't this bathroom be perfect for a cabin?

around the house

I am running low on ideas today so I turned to House Beautiful. They came through, as always...
Don't you love the red chairs?

If I ever have triplets I will be referring back to this picture...

This room would be a perfect fit for a cabin.
I love the throw across the foot of the bed.

two things

#1- I like the sliding doors in this room (really I just like the room). I think they would be cool in a cabin.

#2- This cranberry dessert is just what I need to use up some of the giant bag of cranberries I bought (I am making the cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving, which will take exactly 1/4 of the bag of cranberries I bought).

cabin-exposed beams

I saw these first two pictures on Chic Coles where they talked about the exposed beams. It got me to thinking, exposed beams are perfect for cabins. So I googled.



While I was googling another thought came to me, shelves rather than cabinets. For a cabin, I think they would work.



Exposed beams, I love the use of this room (minus the heart rugs).

This came up with exposed beams but what I really loved was the door and the bedspread.

cabin bedrooms

Today I have been searching cabin bedrooms. I found close to nothing. Most cabin bedrooms on Google could easily be mistaken for a seedy motel, no thanks. Although there are few examples, a cabin (or cottage) can still have beautiful rooms sans motel blankets and pre-fabricated quilts.

From my hours of searching I have determined these are the basics for a rustic room.

Simple. Cabin decor should be simple and rustic. Wooden rocking chairs? Perfect.

Warm. Those paper thin motel-esque bed lines? They won't keep you warm at night and they don't look good. A good white comforter is essential.

Quilts. Perfectly acceptable, they add a touch of the rustic and they are generally warm. I think the best way to showcase them is at the foot of the bed. At the very least fold the top over so you can see some white from the sheets or comforter. None of this fold the quilt over the pillows so you see nothing else.

the perfect built in bunk bed

Little Moth has found yet another perfect bunk bed. This one is exactly what I envision for our eventual cabin remodel (well, maybe the beds will be a little longer so they can possible fit an adult). Train style bunk beds at home, I love it.

rustic

I was perusing Anthropologie today and noticed they have suggestions for different home styles. This beauty comes from the "modern cabin" section. I love it.

lovely library

Friend Martha forwarded me pictures of this lovely library. It spurred a conversation about books at cabins/vacation homes. Nice idea, don't you think?

cabin deck

via Design Mom
Our family cabin is way up high in the mountains, about 8,000 feet above sea level, I believe. Outside of the cabin there is a nice large wood deck. It is great to have. Unfortunately due to the large amount of snow fall in the mountains the deck takes a lot of upkeep. Often in the spring part of it will have collapsed from the weight of the snow. When I saw this min-century modern outdoor space I was inspired. Sure a wood deck is nice but a concrete outdoor area would require less upkeep. I will have to throw the idea at my Dad. Maybe we can incorporate it into our eventual rebuild designs.

cabins on my mind

I have cabins on the mind this week, sorry. I have almost convinced my Mom (I still have a long ways to go with my Dad) to get new bedding for our cabin. I love the way Stephmodo decorated the rooms of her France house, I want to use this picture in my cabin inspiration book.

My family wants to rebuild our cabin eventually so from time to time I like to imagine the different things we could do. One thing we must do is to have a big window wall like this one. Amazing.

The other thing I would like to do is to have one room with bunk beds everywhere for all my nieces and nephew(s). Add guard rails to these bunks and you have perfection.

Brighton "winter's front yard"

I have been working on a new blog. We are renting our family cabin in Brighton, Utah so we wanted a nice website/blog to advertise it. I am quite proud of the end product and excited that I learned a few blogging tricks along the way!

Putting together the site has made me homesick though, I love Brighton and the mountains and the cabin. I can't wait to go back in December!

cabins on my mind

I have had cabins on my mind since last week, can you tell? Here are some interiors I like for cabin spaces.



I don't really understand how they made the birch wall but I love the look of it.


As I recall my brother and mother are very pro log cabin, so exposed logs could be a good option for us.

I don't like real animal heads, they creep me out. This picture made me reconsider obviously fake animal heads.


The bed is what caught my eye in this picture.

cabin inspiration

My family has a cabin in these mountains, it is an amazing location. One day we plan to re-build the cabin. I like these pictures for inspiration. The first one is my favorite but I highly doubt I could get the rest of my family on board.

modern river house

I love the look of this Austin home. The entrance reminded me of one of my Mom's additions to the theoretical redesigning of our cabin, a wall of windows that faces the mountains.

cabin fever

My family has a cabin in a small skiing community. I love it. It gets so much snow that you can't use the front door during the winter. I can't wait to go up there during winter vacation!

I saw this suitcase on Caitlin Creer Interiors, it would be perfect for our cabin.

cabin inspiration

My family owns a cabin in the mountains and we are planning to rebuild it in the next couple of years or so. While we were in Yellowstone my Mom saw this Lodge and we decided we like the style of it. It kind of seems like a summer camp almost. Anyway, this is the start of the cabin inspiration posts.

I love the combination of the rocks, wood and the smaller windows.
