Where to Go to Get Cabin Furniture, Decor and Accessories For Cabins at Fishhawk Lake

Cabin that Sold at Fishhawk Lake for $247,000 2011
I always get asked where to find furniture, granite or marble countertops, cabin decor and all the “cabiny stuff” that makes vacation properties for sale at Fishhawk Lake look like those popular magazines! I will mention some of the places to go to locally as well as catalogs that I frequent that might be helpful to those trying to upgrade or simply update the home they’ve just bought from me.
Using local artisans, builders, and simply going online can save money when you’re located out in the middle of nowhere at Fishhawk Lake Recreation Club in the itty bitty town of Birkenfeld Oregon. For example, we used a 2nd generation company by the name of Absolute Granite and Marble in Vernonia Oregon located only a half hour away, and they were fast, efficient, less expensive and true artists and personally come recommended by not only me, but several others who’ve used them for their new homes or remodeled kitchen updates at Fishhawk Lake. I found them to be true artists after seeing what they did with matching the striations in my Rain Forest Green marble that I used for all of my countertops in my kitchen. They coordinated with my local friend who does all kinds of remodeling projects and together they made it look stunning for far less than I would’ve spent if I’d gone through a company located an hour and a half away in Portland. I put together a Resource List link on my website that can also help you with companies that have been referred by members of Fishhawk Lake Recreation Club who are all licensed and bonded. About an hour and fifteen minutes away is called North Plains Fireplace and Furniture. We walked in and found all kinds of stoves, wood, pellet, etc., but we were actually looking for a new log kitchen table and chairs and perhaps a rug or two. They had that and more! They ordered us an aspen log table and six chairs made to order that will match perfectly our huge rocking chair that we already had from one of my past clients. They also had access to a rug that I had seen in a Cabela catalog and gave me a price that was about $40 cheaper AND they’ll deliver all of this for a nominal fee.
Here’s a home I have for sale that has many of its decor coming from Elkhorn Furniture in Oregon or Black Forest Decor. I’ve bought many items from both places.
- This 2 BR/1BA LAKEFRONT Home FOR SALE $279,000
Another furniture place that I just discovered at the Log Home Show held at the Expo Center is located in Clackamas, OR. and is called Oregon Log Furniture and they do custom handmade furniture and also had candleholders, clocks, etc. I bought a picture frame with an elk on the frame at the show and haven’t been to their showroom yet, but someday! I just found another incredible furniture company online: Woodland Creek Furniture…we’re going to be purchasing a gorgeous redwood table from them and so far their customer service has been exemplary. Their website is: www.woodlandcreekfurniture.com.
Update: August 2010. Here is the new table from Woodland Creek and chairs were purchased at Pier 1 Imports.
Another company I discovered online around the same time that I found Woodland Creek Furniture is a company called JHE’s Furniture Place (www.logfurnitureplace.com). We were looking for a “lodge-like” king sized bed frame; something unusual for our large master bedroom. Jason is the owner and a great guy who answers the phone himself and is readily available to offer personal customer service. I had ordered something unusual that took some time to build and I had looked around on other sites but found his to be the most reasonable and he made it easy to do business from states away, as they’re located in Tennessee.I ordered an Adirondack Log Bed and nightstands. They came very well wrapped and nothing was nicked or scratched, but boy is it HEAVY!
There are numerous catalogs that I can suggest for different cabin-like decor. BlackForest Decor is one, although some of their pricing can be a bit spendy. Plow&Hearth is a good one, especially for little items, or garden and bird accessories, windchimes, etc. Wild Wings specializes in nature themes. I had mentioned Cabela which is a catalog that I receive, but found out that there is also a store located a couple of hours away in WA. state. But online works just as well for me, and UPS and FedEX both deliver right to my doorstep.
Pier 1 Imports is a great store for cool, kitschy type stuff and their candles are truly the BEST. I’ve also spent very little money at Goodwill getting some carpets, furniture, baskets and fun decor for our investment cabin that turned out really well for very little money. There are also neighbors at Fishhawk Lake who are periodically parting with furnishings that they have put up on our local bulletin boards and you can get some great cabiny items for very little expense.
As I discover more of the decor that fits this style for our Fishhawk Lake residents and members, I’ll try to update this for you to peruse. Then again, you can buy up here and have it be fully furnished and not have to do a THING for a couple of years except bring your toothbrush and your family and friends!

to browse your site on my iphone during lunch break.
I enjoy the knowledge you provide here and can’t wait to take a look when I get home.
I’m amazed at how fast your blog loaded on my phone
.. I’m not even using WIFI, just 3G .. Anyhow, fantastic site!
Marla, thank you for a wonderful comment!! Enjoy~
I’ve been surfing online more than 4 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours.

made good content as you did, the net will be a lot more useful
than ever before.

Good day! This is my 1st comment here so I just wanted to give a quick shout out and
say I truly enjoy reading through your posts. Can you suggest any
other blogs/websites/forums that cover the same topics?
Appreciate it!
Lucas, I don’t sorry to say!
I would like to thank you for the efforts
you have put in penning this blog. I am hoping to view the same high-grade blog posts by you in the future as well.
In fact, your creative writing abilities has inspired me to get my very own website now 😉
I sure appreciate the compliments! Good luck to you!
I’m truly enjoying the design and layout of your site.
It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more enjoyable for me to come
here and visit more often. Did you hire out a developer to create your theme?
Excellent work!
Carmen, I did it completely myself! Learned as I went. Since it was free, I figured what-the-heck. I have a WordPress website, http://lakehomesatfishhawk.com/ that I DID have a developer put together, because it had to pull my multiple listings off of my local real estate IDX, but what is nice is that I already know how to navigate through this and can do it on my other one as well.
Thank you for the comments/compliment!
Hi there very cool site!! Man .. Beautiful .. Wonderful ..
I will bookmark your website and take the feeds additionally?
I am glad to find so many useful info here in the publish, we’d like work out more strategies on this regard, thanks for
sharing. . . . . .
First of all I would like to say excellent blog!
I had a quick question that I’d like to ask if you
do not mind. I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your head prior to writing.
I have had a difficult time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out there.
I do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually wasted just trying to figure out how to begin. Any
suggestions or tips? Thank you!
I’ll be happy to answer your question. Thank you for enjoying my blog. I’ve written since I was a kid, so honestly, it’s been intrinsic. But, to jumpstart you, why not do stream-of-consciousness writing? Don’t THINK too much. Pick up your pen, or your pad, keyboard and just GO, without self-editing. Go as long as you can without stopping until you simply run into the proverbial mental wall!
OR: jot down several small sentences, or phrases. Then, walk away and come back and look at them. You could even do a group of topic choices or lead in sentences and hit save. As a writer, I put them in draft and come back to them, re-reading them with “fresh eyes”, as if for the first time. That way, it’s as if you are reading your work with the frame of mind of being someone else. It can also help you catch misspelled words, run-on sentences and such.
Hope this helps!
Right here is the perfect website for anybody who hopes to understand this topic.
You realize so much its almost hard to argue with you (not that I really would want
to…HaHa). You definitely put a brand new spin on a subject which has been discussed for years.
Excellent stuff, just great!
Thank you SO much for the enthusiasm!!
Have you ever considered about adding a little bit more than just your articles?
I mean, what you say is important and everything.
Nevertheless just imagine if you added some great pictures or video
clips to give your posts more, “pop”! Your
content is excellent but with pics and videos, this website could certainly be
one of the most beneficial in its field. Awesome blog!
There are many photos on this blogpost….did you not notice them?? Why do I need video of static furniture and decor items? No need.
Very good post. I certainly love this site. Stick with it!
Hello, I think your site might be having browser compatibility issues.
When I look at your blog site in Opera, it looks fine but when opening in Internet
Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up!
Other then that, very good blog!
Very nice post. I just stumbled upon your blog and wished to say that I’ve really enjoyed surfing around your
blog posts. After all I’ll be subscribing to your rss feed and
I hope you write again soon!
Very descriptive post, I enjoyed that a lot. Will there be a part
2?
I am truly glad to glance at this webpage posts which consists of tons of useful data, thanks for
providing such information.
Hi would you mind letting me know which hosting company you’re working with?
I’ve loaded your blog in 3 different internet browsers and I must say this blog
loads a lot faster then most. Can you suggest a good internet hosting provider at a reasonable price?
Kudos, I appreciate it!
This is a WordPress site. It helps to keep the photos at a smaller image size, too. Hope this helps!
Hi! I know this is somewhat off-topic but I had to ask.
Does running a well-established website such as yours take a lot of work?
I am completely new to writing a blog but I do write in my diary daily.
I’d like to start a blog so I can share my experience and feelings online.
Please let me know if you have any kind of suggestions or tips
for new aspiring bloggers. Appreciate it!
Yes it does!! This particular site is free. I taught myself how to develop it–and I am not a “techie”, so I would say, Go for it!
Do you mind if I quote a few of your posts as long as I provide credit and sources
back to your site? My blog site is in the very same area of interest as yours
and my visitors would certainly benefit from some of the information you provide here.
Please let me know if this ok with you. Many thanks!
Go for it! And thank you for the comment.
Your style is so unique compared to other folks I’ve read
stuff from. Thanks for posting when you’ve got the opportunity,
Guess I’ll just book mark this site.
