Log Cabin Kitchen Tips
Buying a log cabin kit from American Log Homes & Cabins is an exciting first step toward building your beautiful new house. While it’s wonderful to watch it take shape, the real happiness comes when you begin adding the finishing touches. This is when your house truly begins to feel like a home. Considering your kitchen is the heart of your new oasis, it’s a great place to start.
Equipping a Log Cabin Kitchen
Stocking a kitchen from scratch can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re a big fan of cooking or baking. Don’t worry; taking things step by step can make the process easier.
If you don’t already have appliances, that’s the perfect place to start. Many people understandably focus on the large appliances, such as the range and refrigerator, but don’t forget the small ones. Items like air fryers, coffee makers, and slow cookers can help you make some incredible meals and snacks. However, be mindful of their size. They should be large enough to meet your needs without taking up too much space on your counters or in your cabinets. This is especially important if you have a small kitchen and/or limited storage.
Now, on to the small tools, equipment, and other items that make it possible to cook and eat properly. Start with the basics you need for cooking and baking, such as pots and pans, baking sheets, whisks, spatulas, measuring cups, and mixing bowls. What you choose can depend on your specific cooking and baking techniques. Think about what you usually like to cook and bake, and go from there.
Make sure you have storage containers on hand. This includes ones for your own use as well as to-go containers you can give guests if you plan on entertaining. Next is buying dishware. Depending on your preference, you can buy full sets with everything included or purchase individual pieces. Don’t forget essentials like dish towels, sponges, and cleaning supplies.
Food should be the last to go into your kitchen. Stock up on pantry basics, such as salt, pepper, and flour. When you’re ready to move in, you can fill the fridge.
Decorating a Log Cabin Kitchen
How you choose to decorate your log cabin depends on the vibe you want it to have. Some homeowners stick closely to a rustic theme, incorporating nature-inspired artwork and earthy hues throughout the room. Others take a different approach, such as filling their space with an eclectic mix of any colors and items that they love. The choice is yours. Whatever you decide, decorative touches like curtains, anti-fatigue mats, and artwork are a few items that can make your kitchen a more welcoming, lovely room in which to spend your time.
Adding Personalized Touches
The personal touches you add are some of the most meaningful and important items in this space. They’re what make your heart happy anytime you see them. For example, you might display a handwritten recipe passed down from your grandmother or showcase cookbooks you found in a hidden gem thrift shop during a solo adventure.
You can also choose to have items custom-made, such as having a generational recipe printed on a hand towel or apron, so it’s always close to you whenever you want to make the dish. Start with at least a couple of cherished pieces to create a cozy, homey space; you can always add more items along the way.
