Every situation is different, and there are limitless options to choose from when deciding on a Kitchen Remodeler to work with. Here we show a neighbor of yours in Plymouth who was looking to have a Kitchen Remodel after over thirty years in this cozy log cabin.
Our clients tell the story best.
The owner has a baking business, so expanding the island, making the kitchen longer with more cabinets, and adding the double oven was a big help.
Hanging the cabinets on the uneven log wall was very challenging.
The new chandelier above the kitchen table was another tricky wiring challenge. Since we expanded the kitchen and made it longer, the dining room table had to be pushed over. That also meant that the old chandelier, which was originally hung from a log rafter and was connected to wiring that the electricians ran in a groove on top of the rafter as the house was being built, was no longer centered over it. It had to move over about a foot. So we fished the wire out by slowly chiseling into the side of the log. Once we located it and pulled it through the side of the log, we built the wooden chase you see above the chandelier, ran the wiring into that and hung the new chandelier from it.
The kitchen floor is wide pine plank flooring, that was installed about 15-20 years ago. As pine and polyurethane age, it starts to take on a warm reddish-orange tone. In spots where we had to install new flooring, we had to figure out a way to match the patina of the old floor. Anyone with any experience knows that when you try to stain pine, it tends to look a bit blotchy, and can be a bit tricky. If we had tried to just stain the new boards they would have stuck out like a sore thumb. What we ultimately ended up doing is use blonde shellac, which is a type of sealer/finish often used for woodworking. The result was a floor in which the new floor boards are virtually indistinguishable from the old original floor boards.

The backsplash is ceramic subway tile, which also serves to hide the wiring. Since this is a solid log home, there are no cavities in the exterior walls or ceiling to run plumbing or wiring, so we routed out chases in the logs for new wiring, and then covered them with the new backsplash.
