The knots, colors, grains, and mineral streaks stand out and draw the eye toward them like no other wood can.

Getting Away from Painted Drywall in Your Log Cabin

If your plans call for getting away from drab painted drywall, cedar paneling may be ideal for your log or conventional home. Use it in one room, a basement, the garage, a man cave, or all rooms. Drywall and cedar paneling can both be colored, but panels have a distinct advantage in that it has character, charm, coziness, and beauty.

If you want a lighter color for walls and ceilings, you can use whitewash (white ash) stain that still shows knots and the grain of the wood.                                 

Another benefit of cedar walls is it’s easy to sturdily hang pictures, artwork, and decorations without drilling unsightly holes for picture anchors. You can also order pre-finished cedar paneling.
