Interior log cabin design materials

General Lee · Dec 28, 2011

One of these days I want to start transforming the interior of my house to that similar to a log cabin. Whether it be tongue n groove slats on the walls or "look a like" logs. Probably won't be the whole house but I want to do my game room first and see how it goes. I'm hoping to do it this coming new year. Anyway, this forum is filled with great info and was wondering if anyone could provide some links or info for companies that sell these type of materials. Anyone that has done something like this please feel free to share your experiences.

Not sure if you will be able to access this (let me know if the link doesn't work). It's a slide show of a barn house in the Catskills and and a few of the slides show the use of the old barn siding for the interior (they used Mushroom wood for the exterior).

I have a barn frame almost exactly the size of this one we are planning to erect as our retirement place and the design of this place caught our eye.

i've seen wood siding that looks like logs. it is flat on one side and round like a log on the other. you could use this like panelling. not sure if theres any lumber yard around where you are and i don't know if lowes or hd have it.

This would be the easiest and is close to you, or you could check if they sell 1/4 rounds. There are quite a few log home suppliers in the East and North East.
