WIHH, info please
Could you please tell me what the interior walls of your cabin are. If you can direct me to them I would love to see the pictures. Thinking about doing mine with yellow pine boards but they sure are expensive. Thanks.

Thank you so much. I could not remember the ship lap siding. I just love yellow pine so will probably use it but like i said it sure is expensive. May have to do one wall at a time. I love your cabin and enjoy looking at the pics.

WIHH got one thing wrong. Our walls are not yellow pine. They are red and white pine.

I will be following this thread. I am trying to figure out if we should use Knotty Pine T&G or some other variation. It seems there are lots of combos for cabin wall coverings out there.

Beautiful cabin, Thanks for sharing the pictures. Did you build it yourselves? I love the kitchen too. Cabinets are NICE. I built our "big" cabin in 1992 and used what I had as I didn't want to spend much. Our kitchen is 6'x6', a 2'x3' island with a 2" pine board countertop. Cabinets are painted bead board from an old grainery, solid barn board lower doors with picture frame moulding around the board, 3 upper cabinets have barn board frames but with bubble glass in them, built this last winter. I used barn boards as much as I could, horizonally above old tin roofing for wainscote and a barn board chair rail. Living room ceiling is rusty roofing tin nailed under the rafter ties, all insulated with 16" of blow-in insulation. The interior of the bedroom is bead board, whitewashed walls in light yellow, above barn board wainscote, chair rail and drawer fronts, ceiling is white. I painted an old arched beadboard headboard and built in night stand shelves a cream color. Looks good but then 9'x11' is small....James

Here in the back of the house (hallway, bathrooms, bedroom, laundry/mud room) we have painted ship lap siding (usually used for exteriors) but we loved its rustic character and quality - its about 8-1/2" wide, is cut to overlap the edges and shows spaces between the boards - on purpose for texture and interest. We think it make a nice "canvas".
In the guest bedroom we used ship lap and just sealed it for a more rugged look. Its got alot more imperfections, color variations, flames, character and knots than the pine but we like it, too.
But in the "great room/living room/dining room/kitchen/den" we used 5" yellow pine tongue and groove and we also used it for the ceilings throughout the cabin.
Here's a link to the entire album of photos Our Cabin Home |

I always love seeing pics of your home, so beautifully done. That print above CF's head is one of my all time favorites, I'm so jealous that I don't have one on my wall!

I snuck a peek too, very tasteful and very good workmanship. Its so hard to work with wood like that (at least for me) when your going to keep it natural because every mistake shows up. I like the shiplap inside also, gives it an older feel and provides a visual contrast to the wood.

Red, white or yellow they are still beautiful. I just love the color of yellow pine though and it is what I want. Just don't know about the cost of it. Might have to do one wall at a time.

Wihh and CF, what a beautiful home you have there. I especially like the 5 does and the 10 point was very nice as well. What is the sq ft of the little off grid, if you don't mind my asking. The serenity bedroom is a beaut.

All of the ceilings and most of the walls in our cabin are pine T&G too. I love the way it reflects the light and gives everything a warm amber glow. It makes our cabin the coziest place in the world to be, especially on a snowy or rainy evening.

I went the pine ship lap route myself for the gable end (the lower walls are all solid logs). I really like it not just for the looks but it's incredibly easy to work with. For interior wall you can up pick 1" pine ship lap for a pretty reasonable price at Home Depot. It's not that much more per foot than the finished textured plywood that's trying to look like boards and there's a lot less waste since it's not in 5x8 sheets.

As of today I have decided to do the walls and ceiling in yellow pine tongue and groove. Now I have to decide whether to stain and varnish or just seal it. I will be so thankful when we get through with everything but, it will be a while because my DS is doing it and can only work on sunday afternoon after church. He is a wonderful son who just goes along with any changes I want even though sometimes it means having to redo something. When we get finished I WILL learn how to post pictures. Thanks WIHH and CF.
