Movie night in the cabin loft!

We are headed up to the log cabin tomorrow morning. We usually like to bring a movie or two to watch at night. Especially since we only get 2 t.v. channels up there. The loft is the perfect place - we lay out a blanket and some pillows, I pop some popcorn and then we dim the lights.

Anyways, so here's the movie Greg picked and thinks we're going to watch. (Did you doubt it was going to be an action movie?!)













But Marvin & I picked "On Golden Pond." By the way, thanks to those of you who reminded me of this movie and how the loons were in there. I can't wait to see this again with fresh eyes! (FYI - I put the Amazon link below in case you would like to get this too.) Are there any other movie classics you would recommend for the log cabin?

P.S. I have a blogger friend coming to visit me on Saturday for lunch. Can you guess who it is?!

The Loft Project

As my friend Jen at Unglazed would say, I need to get "cracking" on the loft! So far we have carpeted and put a guest bed up there. On our to do list are blinds, furniture (night stand, seating area) and a room divider screen. Our loft is a little over 300 square feet and all open so I wanted to make sure I made good use of the space. The room divider screen will add a little privacy for the guests in the loft and allow me to create a separate seating / reading area. Here are a few that I found:

I found the above room screens at Home Decorators, Black Forest Decor and Target. I'm still on the hunt for more!

Geez - will somebody put some blinds up?

Cabin Loft

I love the loft in our log cabin. I love being able to look out the front windows to see a higher view of the lake. I love being able to survey the living room downstairs and feel like I'm looking down on my log kingdom. Now I just have to figure out what to do with it. Maybe part of it can be a bunk house for my stepson and his cousins. I can put up a folding partition wall (maybe a wildlife screen) and then create a separate sitting area with comfy couches whereby you could read and listen to music. Then I think about that beautiful rustic writing desk I saw in a log furniture magazine and imagine creating a little office. I've also seen where people have created a game room area and placed a pool table upstairs. I would recommend to anyone building a log cabin, that a loft is a necessity. There is just so many creative things you can do with it - and the best part is the views!
