One day you will have the home of your dreams (if you don’t already).
Perhaps next Thanksgiving having a home like this will be on your list of “things to be thankful for”.
Don’t be concerned if you don’t know where to begin… if you have found your way to this site… if you find yourself looking through the images here and have been reading my short commentaries on them… congratulations, you’ve already begun!

It doesn’t take that much more effort, nor that much more material, to frame up a home with timbers rather than by using laminated lumber from Home Depot, but the difference in appearance and durability is amazing.

The logs are in place. The window is set and ready to trim. And then it’s time to chink!

Here we have Washington Inn, located in the small village of Little Washington, Virginia.
The stone chimneys, although oddly locate are attractive. There is a farmhouse look to the place… very nice siding and a copper roof. But, what sets this place apart, what gives it such richness, is that deep red paint. Love it, or hate it, it’s affect cannot be denied.

There is no right or wrong answer.
About have of the cabins that I have built or seen over the years have had neutral-colored paint trim, or, the trim has been left natural and unpainted. The other half of these cabins the owners have decided to “liven the cabin up” with bright colors, most often red or green. I can’t say that I have a preference, they all are attractive.
It’s more about the shade of the color, than whether or not there is a color. (avoid lime green for example)
