I WORKED IN CABINETRY FOR A DESIGN COMPANY.
Option 1 works great.
If you place an island later on it will be nice to have the fridge accessable where it is.
Also option three we try to avoid stoves up against walls for hazard reasons.
Yes its a pony wall but they are kinda tacky.
I'm sure whatever option you go with will turn out great as I trust your process!
Such a wonderful family getaway and I’m sure the whole family is thrilled to give it a fresh look. For such a small kitchen I’d say keep checking the restore and marketplace for someone selling their old cabinets. You might need to do a little finagling but ultimately you’ll end up with a nicer finished cabinet at a lower price. If possible concealed pantry storage is a huge bonus in a family getaway, we know from experience! You guys are gonna make this place beautiful, can’t wait to follow along! ✨
The moment I saw the cabin from the outside I envisioned a huge deck spanning the entire front of the house. I would make it the same level as the front door. I know that you're redoing the kitchen but this could be a future plan. It would be a great space for everyone to hang out.
Ah it’s so great you’re improving the cabin after enjoying it free of charge for years then it’s wonderful to give back to your aunt and the cabin itself 💗 Sure the cost of the new kitchen, flooring and shelving would be what you’d have had to pay if you had to pay for rental accommodation on your vacations so it’s definitely a worthy investment. Enjoy the fun of designing it all.
I like the suggestion already made to have a tall pantry cabinet. Storage is super important in a small cabin, and when you and your family, and other family members gather, you will need to have lots of room to tuck away your pantry items. I don't favor the stove being next to the sink, especially since, as you mentioned, that is next to a hallway. I think you could do the unfinished cabinets, as the cabinets would look better a solid color with the light flooring you are looking at. I'm sure you will figure it out. Thanks for taking us along this journey and I look forward to seeing the plan come together!!
Thank you so much for the feedback, I appreciate it!! 😊
I think you'll be happier with simple cabinets painted in one of the lovely shades you are so good at choosing. Maybe think about wood or butcherblock countertops? And deep drawers are so much more useful than the standard bottom cabinets.
I’m so happy for you to have such a special place. I can’t wait to see how you fix it up!
Thank you! I'm excited too! 😀
So excited to follow you and Mike on this remodel. I know whatever you all decide to do, it will look great.
How blessed you are having access to a family cabin! We raised a large, rambunctious family and my advice to you is keep it simple and family friendly. When my kids were really little they would often double up in bed but as they matured they obviously needed their own space. I prefer trundles to double bunks, just my opinion. Good luck with your project.
Changing the carpet and light fixtures will make a big change. The sectional looks so comfy!
I'd go with unfinished cabinets and do a pretty rustic color. Maybe a nice green color with brass hardware. And do butcher block counters. That would be so pretty!
What a fun project on such a beautiful lake! I'd prefer the refrigerator in same spot to avoid having little ones running or playing by a hot stove. Also may work better to grab a cold drink without getting in the way of the cook, if the fridge is not in the middle of the kitchen. More work, but less expensive and less "busy" to paint or finish the cabinets vs the hickory. Love the idea of white cabinets with butcher block for a rustic countertop. Consider deep drawers for lower cabinets, if not cost prohibitive. Sand colored walls? I'd do a table instead of an island unless you need the extra storage. Counter height is not as comfortable for elderly and little ones. Also think about doing puzzles, playing cards or board games on rainy or cold days, and using the chairs for extra seating in the living room or outside on the new deck. My suggestion for additional chairs to replace the sofa: denim is very durable and casual for slipcovers, pillows, or cushions. Everything goes with jeans, right? Ooh, white eyelet curtains!
I was thinking the same thing. I love my under cabinet drawers. I even keep my plates in one I like the idea of having a window bench with storage for seating on one side of the table.
Soooo excited to see what you do with this! ❤
Thank you!! 🤗
So excited to see what you and Mike do with the cabin! I like the idea of the unfinished cabinets so that you can paint or stain them any way you like. Option one for the kitchen layout looks great. Also, you just have to get those green oars! They are perfect! ☺️🚣🦆
Woah! I am suprised u restrained your self this long. I would have been pulling things out and painting when I was 12. What a fun project!
I would not get rid of that plaid chair just yet. I think once you get that "cabin" vibe going, it will fit in nicely! JMO
I love your vision for your sweet cabin. One thing about planning your kitchen, if at all possible there should be space on both sides of the stove, it should not be against a wall. Best wishes for many happy year in your cabin.
Thank you for the feedback! I appreciate it!! 😊
Think vertical, more enclosed storage for food, and a flexible floor plan. If you put island seating in the space, you may be restricting furniture placement options for large gatherings. A window seat with storage that also works as banquet seating with a table is very practical. The photo featuring the natural hickory cabinets appeared to have such a design. I know you like open shelving; is this practical when the cabin is not used every day? Per the living space with the board-and-block bookcases: Should you do built-ins, I would use the entire wall and extend the top shelf over the door.
You're both creative and make great effort to be good stewards of money and time; have fun researching this project and coming up with some fun ideas!!!!
Loooong time viewer. Love your content and your heart for the Lord!
What about modification of option 1? Only instead, use a thrifted, tall, armoire style cabinet to save money for closed pantry storage. That would balance your eye (tall bulky fridge in far right of “L” and then tall, heavy cabinet on left.)That cabinet could also be a lovely focal point for your eye with some character dead ahead when you walk in the cabin. It could be painted a color that you tie in with pillows or decor in living room- maybe a nice dusty, earthy blue or green? Then do the open shelving between for dishes and pretties. And the microwave could potentially be placed there as well depending on depth. Just a thought!
Yeah! Great ideas!! Thank you so much! 😀😀
It’s cute already… but it can be even cuter with a little update. Agree … not all white in a cabin. The oars are cool above windows as curtain rods . Using prebuilt bookshelves with doors on the bottom ( made to look built in) will hide/store all those videos and games. Have fun ! A Porch the length of the house would be super cool with a swing bed on it !
In the living room... would definitely get rid of the striped sofa and have the island with barstools for eating. Would seem more spacious visually. Also would have two matching dressers flanking the fireplace with floating shelves above for decor. and some books. The drawers could house lots of games and overflow, making it look less busy. Nice lamps on the dressers with some cabin decor stacked on old books, of course. What a totally fun project. As for the kitchen having smaller appliances and sinks... this is a cabin, not a home. ...so just for a weekend or extended stay its fine. Yes, I think a hutch for a pantry and decor would be awesome.
Ooh goody can't wait to see.
The cabin has a lot of potential. Your ideas for the outside ( porch and shutters) would completely change the look to a cute cottage/cabin look. It would be a lot of work and money…is it possible to get other family helping. I can see with 4 little boys this cabin almost on the lake would bring wonderful family memories.
I look forward to seeing what you do with the cabin. Your husband is cute.😊
Thank you!! 🤗
Oh my goodness!!!! I'm sure there is a lot of oars there but you can also use them for coat racks? and towel racks? in your bathroom just put some hooks on them and they will be good to go! just an idea!!! It's so beautiful how Idea!!!!! What a gift! that project will be. And your husband is so talented in building things, it's going to be an amazing journey! And lots of more memories to treasure!!! It's a blessing!!!
Butcher block looks great and is very affordable. Look into old hutches etc for cabinets. Hickory can be very busy. We have it on the ceiling in our bedroom and the grain is very varied in color. You will do a great job.
I know you could find those cabinets for FREE! They're out there waiting for you to find them! Give yourself a budget and make it happen. You have the eye and talent to make this work.
A built in pantry (with angled door) in the corner works really well. Fewer cabinets needed and the island serves as the expanse of counter space.
Remove that window in the dining so you can run the cabinets a lot longer against the wall. put on a large L kitchen with huge island. You can put new windows further down the wall or over a sink
This video made me tear up! My in-laws had a cabin on Diamond Lake, Cassopolis, MI. We stayed there every other weekend all summer long. My husband and then our own children grew up spending summers there! We have wonderful memories!! My father-in-law passed away and it got sold. Our kids are in college now. My heart swells when I see a cabin on a lake. It was truly the best blessing! We also refreshed it on a dime! Loved it! 😊
I have similar story, as my father- in-law passed also. We spent many years with our children at the cabin on Secord Lake. Unfortunately we recently had to sell and I’m so sad that my grandchildren will not be able to experience the cabin.😢
I also think restoring the fireplace is a cabin must and definitely would keep checking at the Restore or online for used cabinets. It's amazing what people get rid of just because they want a new look. It would be much less expensive. Also, definitely agree the cabin is screaming for a front porch. Can't wait to see what you and Mike come up with
Exciting..can't wait to see how you all will fix it. Thanks for sharing the memories with us, so sweet!
Depending on the size of your windows, old oars make beautiful curtain rods. ❤
I’d go with the unfinished. Mainly because the hickory cabinets I’ve seen are so variable in the light vs dark areas in the graining and can sometimes be very busy looking. Knowing you typically don’t like “busy” I think you might be disappointed with the hickory cabinets once you got them, and you would have paid more.
Great feedback, thanks Trina!! 😊
@Pine and Prospect Home - Simple Decor Ideas .... I would have to agree wuth the previous comment regarding the hickory , it can be " busy " and depending on the surrounding areas, it can be too busy and distracting. What a fun project, ohhhh my , what a C u t e place , as far as the structure. A fireplace is a must in a Cabin. :) I would probably place the T V on one of the sides of the fireplace. Definitely taking out the one sofa will be helpful to creating a better footprint. :)
Of the layouts you showed I think #1 makes practical sense for use. Having the refrigerator on the end allows everyone to access it without getting in the way of “the chef”. Having the microwave on the other side allows easy use for kids, too. I would not put the microwave above the stove. Really not functional for most users especially if you are actually cooking a meal. Keep a large table. It functions for meals, games, crafts on rainy days, dessert with coffee and long conversation….use a long bench along one side that you can slide under the table for space saving. Tables encourage family meals. ❤ What fun to consider the possibilities.
Hi! Whatever you do will be so beautiful!
If you decide to paint the cabinets a light color, you could maybe do a wooden countertop to keep the rustic feel.
Just a thought as an option.
Option 2 open shelves would be great for dishes.Banquet setting with storage would be great.have fun 🙏
Excited to see your plans going forward!
I think used cabinets would be so much cheaper and maybe even better quality. It’s a small space so may not be as hard to find. I like the fridge where it is. Can’t wait to see how the Lord provides. What a beautiful way to give back to your Aunt. She must be thrilled. It will also be a blessing every time anyone stays there.
This is exciting! Can’t wait to watch the renovations!❤
What a great opportunity! Is the lake Crystal Lake? The kitchen island should have your sink and a dishwasher. Keep the stove on the wall that it is on and the fridge where it is. It's a fire hazard to have the stove enclosed. To balance out the kitchen, have a wall cabinet on the end of the other run of cabinets, next to the window. I know you are trying to save money, but if you buy the unfinished cabinets and paint them, you might save enough to do a more custom countertop. Those pre-fab countertops with the built in backsplash are limiting. The Hickory wood is expensive and has a lot of pattern that can make it seem busy in a tiny space, verses a painted cabinet. Another upgrade idea for you is to build an outdoor shower. Coming back from the beach will be a breeze if the kiddos are "sand free" before coming into the cabin. God bless your new endeavor, I can't wait to see how it turns out.
What a blessing!
And how exciting. I can’t wait to see what y’all do!
What a fun and wonderful project! No matter what you end up doing, I"m sure it is going to end up being lovely.
Since it's a cabin, I'm actually thinking the unfinished cabinets would work well and I think painting them a light but brighter color would suit a cabin well and bring a subtle color, without overwhelming or darkening the room. Having a few upper cabinets not only gives you storage, it also gives you visual interest as well and finishing things out with open wood shelving would certainly be appropriate for the space and the basic use of a cabin.
I actually like the first layout the best with the fridge where it is, slightly moving the sink, moving the stove over on the other wall and mounting the microwave to the left of the stove. Since this is a cabin that will theoretically be used by more than one family, there will more than likely be more than one person in the kitchen at a time, so separating the microwave, the cooktop/oven, the sink and the fridge, is a good idea so one space doesn't block or interfere with another.
Since you are thinking of something different than just the table and chairs, what about building a long seating bench with storage under the window and put a long, but more narrow plank style trestle table in front of it with chairs or a bench on the other side. Since it will be used by multiple generations, I personally would go for chairs on the opposite side from the built in storage bench to make it easier for the elders in the family that over time may develop issues that make it more difficult to sit on a backless bench. Something else that I immediately thought of was I loved the directors chairs you showed in the video, if you got something like that, you could have several set up to use in place of the sofa you want to remove and then turn them around and use them for the table whenever needed, so you'd free up floor and visual space, actually save space while also supporting the needs of the space and family.
I also love the idea of a nice porch at some point. What a lucky and well loved little cabin. Enjoy the project and the process.
You articulated exactly what I was thinking! So now I need not write everything, as you covered each detail beautifully☺.
@@susanjohnson3973 LOL I'm so sorry, but isn't it lovely knowing there are like minds out there in the interwebs. 8-)
How exciting!
So excited to follow along this journey. I like the microwave away from the stove.
How fun and exciting!!!! I’m so happy for you guys and can’t wait to see how the cabin turns out!
Don’t give up on your dream. So what if it takes time, you’re young and your husband has solid carpentry skills. We have a camp on an island on Lake George and it has been a work in progress for…ever. And l love my hickory kitchen cabinets. 😊
Anything you do will look great. I like the mock up with the fridge left in place.
Thank you so much!! 🤗
I so am excited to see what you guys do with this property.
How exciting!!❤
Some people can go spend any amount of money and make a place beautiful, but where is the creativity in that? I can't wait to see what ya'll do with the cabin. Thrifting along the way is fun. I know it will look great. Look what you two have done with your home. I'm excited for you.
Oars make really cute curtain rods.
I can’t wait to follow the process ❤
Such a special place full of memories 🥰 thanks for taking us along! It will be fun to watch the progress!
I look forward to the transformation. It is always fun to see the before and after of renovations. The way you are cost efficient is another plus I enjoy following along with. I now understand your connection with South Carolina. See you soon!
Yup, that's the connection! 😄 Thank you so much!! 😊
I M SO HAPPY FOR YOU GUYS
❤ so excited to see the end result
I would cry tears of joy if you came to my house and said, "can I do a makeover?"!!! You have an eye for creating lovely, peaceful places! Looking forward to seeing your finished work on the cabin!
Can’t wait to see what you decide, it will be beautiful!,,,,
As you can tell, I am so excited for this project and you!
Could you utilize the existing cabinets and reconfigure them? I can’t tell for sure but it looks like 3 separate cabinets. You could buy similar cabinets to complete the space and paint them all to match. New countertops would bring it all together. That would save you tons of money.
Yes, for sure! Unfortunately they're pretty old and tiny, but we can definitely look into that. Thank you for the helpful feedback!! 😀
If you used the existing cabinets as the base of the island,they could be painted and not have to match the rest that you buy.Also,think about not getting rid of a table altogether as older people have a harder time getting up to perch on stools and besides,where would you do the puzzles?!😂😅🤣 sometimes you can find affordable drop leaf tables that have a long drop to the floor so that it makes a huge dining or work space when needed but can also just raise half (against the wall) and seat six.
Looks like you're having fun preparing to fix up this cabin your family member owns. There are lots of memories that other members of your extended family have in the cabin in its original state. I hope this is a positive experience for all of you and doesn't create hard feelings as the rest of the family watches you change the cabin for your channel. I wish you all the best in this flip and with your loved ones.
Oh no, not at all! Everyone is so excited and all agree that this update is way over due!! 😄
I think fixing up the cabin is a fantastic idea. I'm not sure if other members of the family are going to help with the expense. If not they should so you all can get the cabin updated the way you really want it. It has so much potential. Perhaps puting in a built in bench set for the table will help with space. Please take us a long for the ride as it will be fun to watch.
Sometimes family/$$$/ creates feelings. Good luck. I hope it works out well for you. You seem so sweet.
So much fun and yes, so much potential
SO excited for y'all!!
Thank you!! 😀
Very exciting. It will be worth the upgrades in the long run.
Fun project! Lot’s of potential! I love the bunk room! So practical to have lots of beds for family and friends!
I am so excited about the possibility of you redoing the cabin!
My suggestion is buy the paintable cabinets and do “butcher block” counters.
I know it will be beautiful when you finish. I like the refrigerator where it is and put the microwave over the stove. Open shelves are pretty but upper cabinets would give much more storage
So much fun! Great potential!
I know whatever you decide to do with the cabin, it will look amazing, and I can't wait to tag along on the journey!
Aww thank you so much, I'm excited too!! 🤗
I love the cabinets you're looking at, the padded bench under the window would be perfect with a long harvest style table. Can't wait to see how it turns out
What an amazing place to be able to put your decorative stamp. Hope you can upgrade the appliances. Market place would be a great place to look.
How exciting! I’d go with the unfinished because you and your husband are so good at painting and making things beautiful. I can not wait to see the cabin after you have put your stamp on it! Thank you for sharing.
I think an outdoor kitchen and shower down the road will really help. Maybe even consider an outhouse as a second toilet option when you have large group there.
Hi Andrea! What a wonderful place to have grown up at and to now share with your family. The idea of investing in it for the long haul is a good idea! I liked all three options but I would really consider at least one if not two more uppers or one long one that gives you a pantry. You do have a large family, that will only grow as they get older and want to bring friends, then wives, etc. Not that you can't refresh it again later. I can't wait to see what you find to furnish it. Wish you lived near me and could come to my garage sale next week, have I got some finds you could use! This is an exciting project to watch unfold. Thanks for bringing us along for the ride!💕
I love that she said just not all white! Looks like it’s going to be such fun!
Look forward to seeing how you fix it up. If it is anything like your home it will be beautiful. I love fun projects like that.
My husband and I have done a cabin in the mountains and a condo at the river.
Looking forward to your renovations on this darling cabin! 👍❤️
Thank you! 😊
I’m so excited!! Love the colors on that countertop you were looking at!!
Looking forward to seeing what you do with the cabin.
I will be here for every step of this journey! I know it will be amazing! You guys are so talented!
Won you have a place! And if anyone can change it ….. you and Mike are the ones that can hands down!
It’ll be beautiful when you get finished. Blessings
What a special place for your family! I love all of your ideas. So fun to dream and plan up a renovation!
OPTION # 1 ❤❤❤ for sure!
That cabin could be so cute!! You have such great ideas and as great of a decorator as you are, it will end up adorable!
I love the way those hickory cabinets look. Beautiful 🤩
Yes It definitely need some updates. After seeing what your husband can do I don’t see any problems and materializing anything you have in your minds. Above cabinet and L-shaped kitchen maybe even a U-shaped kitchen woodwork in there. Personally I’d put the woodstove back in but that freestanding electric thing does not look good the TV mount it would be nice Built in cabinets on both sides of that fireplace would also be a perfect place to store away all those movies games and puzzles. Also what I did before I finalized my plan and building my little cabin was get the dimensions on grid paper. And then there is I’m sure a website where you can print off the different measurements of the countertops cabinets furniture etc. and that way you can move it around on your grid sheet to find out what looks best
The lake, Andrea.💙It’s dreamy and such sweet memories too.💙
That L shaped kitchen with an island would be super cute and fixing it up like your basement would be adorable.
Oh I would go with the unfinished cabinets. I like the layout where the stove positioned away from the sink. I know you and Mike will make it beautiful.
Awwww! We had cinder block and wood bookshelves growing up! 😍😍😍
I like then one moving stove and fridge. Having the stove next to sink for food prep and cooking sounds good ❤
Excited to see what you do
Thank you!! 🤗
What a wonderful place to make memories with your family! I like #2 option you showed with the unfinished cabinet maybe painted a navy color with antique brass hardware. A dark butcher block counter is really nice and easier to refinish when needed. (Hard to repair damaged or worn laminate.) How about a peninsula between kitchen and dining with a banquette in the dining corner? Add storage under benches. Can't wait to see what you come up with!!
I like the idea of unfinished cabinets that you paint a neutral shade, butcher block countertops, with an island made out of old doors that is open on the back for your trash can & recycling and maybe even a little room for a shelf also.
For the flooring, I would personally remove the carpeting and paint the plywood or whatever is underneath, a shade of brown with an oversized faux boi ( fake wood ) look, or a large stencil design repeated throughout.
I’d buy two somewhat matching vintage sideboards or buffets for either side of the rock wall with open shelving above and definitely find a way to make it into a real fireplace by saving money on all the other areas.
I purchased used appliances off of marketplace for our cabin and all three cost us a total of $600! They’re all stainless and have worked great for us the last 4 years.
Whichever wall is the largest should house the television; but do you really watch it on vacation?
I’m sure whatever you & Mike come up with will be cozy and adorable!
Looking forward to this sweet transformation! 🤍
LOVE the hickory cabinets!
Real wood stove you need to get. Turn the table the other way and turn your microwave island to the middle for a true island. Put the stove on that wall and extend the original base cabinet with sink down to the fridge. If you use two upper cabinets for the new island base with a full counter top that extends a little that will give you room for a couple of bar stools. Great cabin. The porch would be wonderful. Reuse the old microwave base by taking off the doors for upper cabinet over the stove.
I'm here for the make over! Bring it! I like your choice in Hickory cabinets & counter top! Understand about the unfinished & savings. Can't wait 2 c what u do!
