I think the kitchen in a log home (or any home for that matter) seems to be a big social focal point in today's times. When you have an open floor plan, the "cook" can see and still converse with everyone in the family room area. And likewise, people can pull up a seat at the kitchen bar and converse with the cook and nibble on some snacks! It creates a family/friend connection and encourages conversation (a lot in my case! I talk too much!)
I've been picking up some odds and ends for our kitchen. I think it's coming together...

Pull up a seat! Can I get you a cocktail?

I love these kitchen towels. I told my husband he's not allowed to use them - just look at them.

I picked up this ceramic acorn candy dish. Would you like a chocolate kiss?
