Natural interior walls

Take a peek inside of the front door of this stone cottage and notice the interior lighting how it washes down the stone wall. Nice. There are great rewards to having unique wall surfaces on the interior of a home, such as that of stone and of log. These two natural materials create rooms like no other material can.

A one-of-a-kind cabin

An old log cabin, re-purposed years ago into a larger farmhouse. An interesting choice to side only the newer addition areas, and to side it with natural edged siding. Likely you’ll never see another with that combination.

Learn from the mistakes of others…

2019-06-29T10:24:10+00:00

We’ve all heard the saying that… “we learn the most in this life from our failures”.
And unfortunately… it’s true.
A better way to learn is from observing OTHER people’s mistakes… and successes.
When building something as significant as a house we want we want to avoid painful “life lessons” as much as we can. Few people will share their mistakes with us (it’s often embarrassing and humbling) so we need to make a habit of seeking them out (that’s not hard to do when it comes to something as large as house).
It’s been a lifelong passion of mine is to study houses… to learn from the best and avoid the rest.
In this week’s episode of Handmade House TV I take you to three small houses that I recently came across in the search for land for my next home. Each of these houses was built about the same time… within a few hundred feet of each other… likely for about the same amount of money.
Two of them turned out tragically, while the third… stands proud and true.
What can you learn from them?
These two poorly built homes in this episode ignored the 12 Keys to a Handmade House… if you haven’t watched the free video that I put together revealing the 12 keys make sure and check it out sometime! Here’s the link… The 12 Keys to a Handmade Home

As modest as they come

There was a season in my life that I would have loved to have had a place like this to live. I wish I knew more about this place… it appears to be located in a national Park on the west coast…

Log cabins are tough

No one has ever called a log home “wimpy”.

Yes, there is a little sagging going on in that one corner but the rest of the house is straight and true. Amazing.

Exterior stone work adds SO much to the enjoyment of one’s home, just look at what this simple layout of steps, path and retaining wall have helped to influencing the feel of this home.
