Cabin Update: Our Cosy Wood Burning Stove

Partnership with Contura, all words and pictures are my own

Back in January I shared an update on our little cabin while it was under construction. I remember the day well. The sun was streaming in through the windows, even so, clouds formed in the air as we spoke. We decided then and there we needed a log burner!

The idea was to place it in the corner of the sitting room, so we’d be able to see it from all the corners of the cabin (after all, it’s about the hygge, right?).

Our go-to was Contura, who are well respected for producing high quality and efficient Swedish-made log burners .
Since our cabin is only 30 metres square (323 f2), we were looking for a relatively small model and settled on the woodburning stove Contura 810 Style
Above, you can see how it looked when I tested it out using the virtual tool back on that cold January day! 
Would you like to see how it looks today?

Tadaaaa! This is the view from our bed! I can’t tell you how much we love to wake up beside a roaring fire. So cosy!

The 810 model is available in several different finishes and we chose black steel, with a black steel plate underneath.

We also opted for wood storage underneath to save space (it’s only a tiny cabin after all) – it’s great to not have to go out to the woodshed every five minutes and I love to be able to see the logs, they add a cosiness to the room even when there’s not a fire on the go!

I have to say, the log burner is so efficient that we haven’t had to use our electric heating once – we’re mercifully grateful for that right now!

Roll on the Swedish winter, we’re ready for you! If anyone’s looking for us this weekend, we’ll be right here by the fire! 
Do you have a fireplace too? I’d love to hear about your experience!
Have a cosy weekend friends!
