What Knot to Do - How to Balance and Update w/ Knotty Pine EVERYWHERE!
We are about to extensively update a 1970s ski cabin fixer. I'd like to keep the ceiling's knotty pine, but need to get rid of some of it - it's everywhere! Would love your design ideas to make this an updated "rustic modern" living space. (PS the emerald green carpet throughout is going away. We're thinking of European oak 7 1/2' planks in the living space...also the fireplace will become gas and have a new surround - ideas welcome for this too - want to put a tv over the fireplace so probably need a concrete mantle, and I'd also like a hearth to sit at it)
There's wall of windows 22' high. I'm thinking about updating the trim around these windows with something very dark stained for some contrast, then using the same dark stain for the ceiling and beams in the kitchen across from this window wall. It's also been recommended to drywall over the walls until the trim at the ceiling, and introduce a lightly painted room (perhaps a warm white or greige). Also, how do we improve the existing pine? Currently there're smoke stains from the fireplace on it, as well as water stains from a roof leak (has since been re-roofed). Do you have it sanded and then restained? I think we'd like it more matte than glossy.
Would love to be inspired by your feedback. Thank you!

il y a 3 ansI'd keep the ceiling and trim wood, but paint all the walls a warm white. Whether that means paint or wallboard should be decided on with your painter. Especially since you want wood floors, you need the white walls to break up all the wood. I would leave the trim and ceiling the color it is, but use a lighter, almost natural finish for the floors.

il y a 3 ansAgree with both felizlady and calidesign, warm white on the walls would greatly help, plus your furniture adds to the wood overload since it is the same color as the current walls and ceiling.
Mockups for you
Warm white walls, also I grey washed the fireplace stone to lighten it up a bit.
Dark stain on the window trim.
Grey carpet/floor color
Hope that helps!

il y a 3 ansDernière modification :il y a 3 ansIm not opposed to painting the wood - I have a cabin with several all wood rooms - in the attic I painted the floor, in the living room I painted the walls white - I have a covered porch outside that makes that south facing room a cave, and I added vintage paneling to the kitchen but painted my unfitted cabinets.
In your situation, with all the light - I’d try this... Play with the wood first because you can enjoy one look for a while and change it later.
The wood painted is pretty, I wouldnt drywall. I used an oil based primer. For water damage, I plan to try a light sanding and wax-free shellac.

il y a 3 ansDernière modification :il y a 3 ansI have done many many renovations on places where materials were a little bit of an eyesore because of over use or a little bit on the hard on the eyes scenario. What I think you need to do is put things into perspective the pine makes up for most of the house so you need to find ways to use less of that colour tone when it comes to fur and kitchen. Light greys on kitchen cabinets with a different tone bench top thinking of ways to soften and add more range to The colour palette and feel of the place. In your case I would first get rid of that green carpet you could also have floorboards in a colour that is completely different to the walls and ceiling and then have many large rugs that will complement the pine. I would take all that timber furniture out that has the same tones that match the pine and go for fabric pieces to soften the look, better lighting nice brighter curtains/window coverings. Update the kitchen I think it will automatically complement and soften all the pine work, did I already mention that green carpet is doing no justice to the pine on the ceiling and walls lol

il y a 3 ansI inherited much the same, (but with ugly asbestos vinyl floor tiles instead of green carpeting). I decided to whitewash the walls, keep the ceiling wood, and put in a wood floor. I love it - so much brighter than it was before! Good luck with your lovely home!

il y a 3 ansDernière modification :il y a 3 ansThis was a log home that I helped an owner furnish. The owner hated the all over "orange" when she initially saw it empty prior to purchasing it. We made a plan of rather than changing it we would make it fade into the back ground by focusing on the furniture and accessories. She says the "orange" no longer bothers her. With your wall of windows, new flooring and the right furnishings do you need to really drywall or do you think it will make such a huge difference to you that it will be worth it? I think you are taking away the houses character when you start to drywall. And as far as staining your pine, you better try samples 1st as the stain may not take as you imagined and you could end up with a bigger issue.

il y a 3 ansYou have a lovely place! We have a pine ceiling in our sunroom and love our light sage walls. We did large 20x20 tiles on the floor to avoid wood overload and decided to embrace the yellow in our furnishings. Good luck!
