COW Cabin

IMG_8332

It’s been a long time since I’ve posted but I’m back blogging! I’ve been working on our new project, renovating the COW Cabin (an acronym for our last names). There’s lots to do so I’ll be sharing some before and afters. The cabin has beautiful wood walls BUT we are installing new hardwood floors so we needed to switch it up to avoid the wood walls/floors look. We thought we’d just paint them a creamy white color I chose, but it’s did not look good. Then my sister suggested white washing! Well it looks beautiful but LABOR INTENSIVE! Luckily the old floors hadn’t been ripped out yet so we could just be super messy about it. Once the floors are in we will do a white trim to make the look cleaner. Btw is was about 90 degrees, hence the bathing suit sarong look for painting.

The stairway landing needed to be extended- there was about two feet of unused space. The upstairs will be carpeted so what was poor use of space is now a cozy transition to the loft!
