That’s exactly what happened with the couple that owns this cabin on Bay Lake near Deerwood, MN. Here’s a peek at our process, starting with their goals, moving through design ideas, and finally to the amazing outcome.

Cabin Remodel goals

  • The project began with a conversation to better understand their goals and what they were looking to have accomplished with the remodel.
  • They were looking to update and refresh the cabin they had purchased 18 months prior, but wanted to retain the charm and warmth the log interior provided.
  • Goals for the Kitchen: larger island area, reconfigure space for refrigerator, more pantry storage, keep view of lake from sink.
  • Goals for Entry Area: Create a more efficient use of space.
  • Goal for Fireplace: Replace with gas insert and clean stones to match other improvements.
  • Goals for Floors: Refinish the original Douglas Fir floors and replace the vinyl flooring in kitchen and entry area.

Planning and implementation

  • We started with a 3-D virtual “walk-through” (click the images to see what it looked like!) to provide a unique glimpse of the finished space well before construction began. This step helped finalize any design changes in advance and kept the project on time and on budget.
  • Weekly reports and schedule updates were provided, along with ongoing communication with our team.
  • Our goal was to exceed their expectations with our choice of quality materials and craftsmanship, staying on budget, and keeping the project on time. 

Outcome

  • Kitchen remodel went so well that the project expanded into other areas of the cabin.
  • Porch walls were repainted to coordinate with the new kitchen cabinetry.
  • Stairwell was repainted and re-carpeted to lighten the interior space.
  • Main floor and upper bedrooms were re-carpeted and ceiling tiles replaced with bead board and beams for a more authentic feel to the cabin.
