Kitchens
The kitchen is, at once, two things: the heart of the home and a workhorse, too.
It’s a communal gathering space where friends and family come together to share stories and laughter over a cup of coffee, a favorite meal, or a midnight snack. At the same time, it’s a hardworking space in nearly constant use, where ease and efficiency are of utmost importance.
This is why we believe every kitchen in a Moosehead cedar log home should be equal parts welcoming and practical. Our designers work closely with each homeowner to ensure the overall flow and functionality of their kitchen suits their daily lifestyle and preferences. Whether you envision an open-concept layout that seamlessly connects the main living room to prioritize connection, or you desire a bit of separation to maintain a sense of calm, you’ll find inspiration for a design that suits your family’s lifestyle as you explore our kitchen photo gallery.
As you browse, you’ll discover plenty of ideas for interior finishes, too. Will you choose natural wood cabinetry or painted cabinets? Do you prefer open shelving or glass-front doors? Granite, marble, quartz, or even butcher block countertops? What about plumbing, light fixtures, and hardware in bronze, black, nickel, or chrome? The customization options are virtually endless. Seeing these choices in real-life cedar log homes can help you settle on a look you love.
