Log cabin kits always seem to fall so short of the standard provided by our ancestors. The “handworked” surface added to this kit in no way resembles that of the vintage cabin also pictured here. I will never understand how some view the act of abusing new wood as “aging”.

Hundreds of years old, and yet more attractive than any new home that I’ve ever seen.

Stones can be handy for things other than building, like making soup, or forecasting the weather…

Here we have one of the appendages to George Washington’s home… Mt Vernon.
Amazing isn’t she?
So simple, yet perfection, found in simplicity.

A two story porch off of the end of a cabin is a bit unusual, but I’m sure it’s a very enjoyable space.

It seems whenever I post photos of cabins online that small ones like this draw the most attention and the greatest number of comments. I can understand why.

I can appreciate the corner stones not being painted… it adds an extra visual element to the home…

I regularly am getting requests for guidance in where to best find plans for a nice small log cabin. My response is that I’ve never found plans anywhere that I like… they are always too… modern… brick rancher type… or Mclogmansion… where as I admire the classic cabin style.
I am in the process of scanning and issuing copies of my hand drawn plans of cabins that I have built in the past (at a huge discount), but the process is slow and I’m so easily distracted… mainly from putting together the Handmade House Academy program. For anyone interested in obtaining these proven plans they should consider signing up to my newsletter on my site… handmadehouses. com for updates when they become available… also… consider signing on to the upcoming “Academy” where I will demonstrate how I, or anyone, can draw their own plans. (the course will be well worth it for that skill alone) BTW… I did not draw this image… I’m a builder… lol… not a pen and ink artist… maybe one day though I’ll be able to do this craft too… skill comes through practice, after all.

The beauty of timbers combined with brick…
