Interior Design of a Mountain Log Cabin

Once upon a time, there were Carl Jones, Mary Beth and Dan McCrary having their evening cocktails, chatting and sharing design ideas. Then Mr. Jones decided to make e few sketches on a napkin that later become the smartest thing he ever did. The simple sketches turned into what is now a beautiful rustic log cabin in the mountains of Alabama.

There is nothing to say about the gorgeous nature in Alabama – green woods and flowing rapids nearby. When making the project for the house, Dan McCrary wanted to make it look like it has always been there. He wanted to create such a home that fits the landscape in a natural way, not distinguishing the human made from the organic life. This was the main reason why there a lot of rustic materials used for both home interior design and exterior design. You can find timber supports, fireplaces created of native stone and also retaining walls.

The property is located in Mentone, which is not very far away from Birmingham, where the McCrarys live. They love to drive to their summer home in weekends where they take all the pressure off and enjoy the mountains. In order to achieve this natural balance, they decided that they wont use gutters, sheetrock or grass around the log. Keeping the place simple, yet elegant, they placed a metal roofing and native wood and stone for the interior. Reaching the house is easy – your just through the gravel driveway and you find yourself in front of the main entrance to the log.

Heading to the kitchen you will find a stylish farmhouse sink. Rustic white kitchen cabinets complete of the overall appearance of the gorgeous family log cabin. Reconstructing the walls of the kitchen was a needed action, because not using a sheetrock was a problem – the heating pipes were exposed. The solution was to make them flow under the house.
