Just because there is snow on the roof doesn’t mean there isn’t a fire inside.
Isn’t it amazing how much the simple wreath adds to the beauty of this home? Without it this home might appear cold and abandoned… but with this simple loving touch the home becomes… inviting.

There are four clues that indicate this cabin has been re-built in a different location… 1) the jar lids that are still nailed to the ends of some of the logs (a common method of numbering the logs)… 2) the front door and wide trim around it (although old, they don’t quite match do they?) …. 3) the bottom sill log on the front is in perfect condition (likely from another salvaged cabin)… 4) and some of the logs on one side of the cabin don’t match those on the other side.
Overall, a fine job rebuilding an old cabin… (but, I’d have been tempted to add some windows and a front porch… and a chimney).

A “whitewashed” mountainside cabin.
Notice how well she fit’s the site. And how well a walk out basement works on a slope.

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!

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

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)
