Dee, Hi. I've seen set in dressers, closets in dormer areas and they look great! It's a smart way to use what would otherwise be wasted space. I agree....more storage does equal more stuff. Our guest room does have a WIC but its being used for 'our'…
Katy, Congratulations on building your new log home! We're big football fans too and we love our music. We opted not to have a TV in our great room because we wanted the focal point to be the fireplace. Our TV is in the loft area. I guess you could…
Victoria,
Hi! Our kitchen is directly under our loft, so we were able to used several canned lights. We also have a pot rack w/ light over the island, a light over the sink, and one over our stove (in the hood section of our microwave). For future…
Kimberly, Good morning! You've raised a good question....in as little as three years ago, you'd find several log home finance companies advertised in most of the popular log home magazines. In looking through some of my most recent issues, I'm not s…
Our dream began 2006 when we purchased our lot with hopes to complete our home by 2011. We placed our FL home up for sale mid 2009 hoping to sell/move early 2010; given the market, it surprised us all when it sold within 6 weeks! A miracle that can only be explained by GOD!
a little of both...R&R and window treatments! in August, in October Dave and I will probably bring up some more furniture and stuff, but mostly just enjoy the color!
Love the new pictures Shelley...sure do miss "home" and all my great neighbors. I'll be up for a long weekend. Aug. 19-22, then we'll both be up for the third week in Oct. for "color"! Can't wait to see you guys!
Hi Terry and Shelley: yes, it seems I have to "approve" comments, so it just takes some time. Sorry about that... one bad apple spoiled the bunch, so now I have to approve each and every post. What a bother! I'm not always in front of my email so it just takes me a while to get these approved so they will post. Anyway, I appreciate your concern about our financing woes. I do agree with you... I figure God always has a plan, so sometimes these things are out of our control, but He knows what's best! We almost bought a parcel of land and it turned out to be right next door to a cement factory and all the groundwater was polluted. The closing blew up at the last minute... good thing! We live about 6 hours away from you guys but would LOVE to see the house somtime! Keep in touch... Rose
Not sure why the comment didn't post! Sorry about that. I agree with you on your last comment, tho... Goldens do seem to be popular "Log Dogs", don't they? There's just something about gentle Goldens and the peace and quiet of a log home -- they just go together, don't they?
Terry and Shelley, your home is SO beautiful! We've hit a roadblock with financing, so still wishing and dreaming. Now that I've seen how great your home turned out using regular construction with log siding, I think that's the route we're going to go too (logs dry out too fast here in the high country of Colorado, so we have a lot of twisting and warping, even with "kiln dried" logs). Great job! You're an inspiration to us all. ( :
So glad you are in...I know you are sooooo excited and we are too! Got our CO so, this time (June 10th) its all about decorating! A mountain party is certainly in order! =) Dave's going to be a "deck ornament" tho, he has surgery on wrist and elbow before we head up there, so he gets to just relax and heal! (and celebrate!) See you soon.
We have just joined this forum and I enjoyed watching the progress of your log home. We are planning to build like you did - regular construction with log siding. Your house turned out beautiful and I am wondering if you have a pieces of advice you would like to impart.
I noticed people were not always nice about your building style...I disagree you should enjoy the wonderful home you created.
We have just completed the planning stage and are headed to the county approval and permitting stage...a little nervous but more excited!
As I mentioned, we would welcome any advice that you may have for us. (If you have time)
