A whitewashed cabin… oh my… she is so fine.
Most people love wood so much that they just can’t ever bring themselves to painting it. I’m often torn myself… but I can say that I’ve never seen painted wood that looked bad.

I do love canned tomatoes.

“I’ve got an idea! Let’s put the staircase on the outside of the cabin… think of all the room that we would save!”
Great idea on a pleasant Spring day… mighty miserable the night a freezing rain sets in.

Here’s the back of a nice cabin… but… wait a minute… it’s not a log cabin!
It has the classic historical log cabin proportions and design that we all know and appreciate.
It does have some really nice stone work too.
And, there is plenty of natural wood to be seen thanks to the weathered board and batten siding.
Given the choice between manufactured logs with a modern design, or a cabin designed like this with no logs, hands down, I’d take this place any day!

Even the ruins of an abandoned and neglected handmade home is attractive.
This is not a toxic waste site.
No need to haul everything off to a landfill.
The remains can be enjoyed by all, or the materials reused.. and even at this stage, the house could be restored, and once again occupied.

Now here is a cabin that REALLY impresses.
And, why is that?
It’s because she is just SO tall.
Log cabins by their very nature often look low and “squatty”.
Logs are heavy so builders tend to stop laying log courses quickly as the height of each hoist increases.
Also, all those horizontal lines found in a cabin tend to create a visual effect of shortness.
I have never seen a cabin that I felt was too tall. When the time comes to build your dream cabin… once you think the cabin is tall enough… add two more courses. Once it’s completed you’ll be tempted to send me a thank you card for how well it looks.

I have found that many who live in log cabins tend to have gentle souls.

One of the great features of living in a classic log home is in the knowing of the strength of the structure… you fear no ill wind.
Take a look at the size of this barn and imagine the weight these logs must bare when the barn is full.

Such a clean design on this cabin.
No frills.
She is a classic.

I’ve always admired white farmhouse-styled kitchen cabinets. There is something “homey” feeling about them. Especially when there is a grandma in the photo.
White cabinets might not be as rich looking as natural wood cabinets but they are universally loved, easy to clean and hold up better than natural wood finishes.
