County Class

It doesn't take a tremendous amount of creativity to come up with a nice little wall feature if you undertake the job of decorating a country cabin. The old single shot .22 in this picture was handed down from my Aunt Katherine and Uncle Pat and my brother Mark and his family gave the picture to me for Christmas several years ago. This simple little ensemble hangs on one of the bathroom walls of our Missouri log cabin. I doubt we'll get any awards from HGTV for this presentation, but it works for me. 

The interior walls are covered in western red cedar boards; tongue and groove on the left and straight edge 1x6 on the right. I varnished the cedar with a couple coats of semi-gloss polyurethane. Although you can't tell from this picture, the exterior walls are large 18" diameter western red cedar logs--you can't go no better (except maybe 20" logs"). 

Should I come up with any other ideas on how you too might become a "county class" log home interior decorator, I'll share those with you too. And of course, I'll keep you posted....
