Oh, it's lovely! There's something very cozy about log houses. <3

Yeah, I think that has a lot to do with it. Just very earthy and cozy and warm. Some of the ones they build now are just unbelievable!

My boss and her hubby just bought a little cabin and some property for their retirement home. Eventually they're going to knock down the existing cabin and build a brand new one. This is the model they've chosen: http://loghomelinks.com/barna/plans/monterey.htm

Oh, that's lovely! It's just amazing what they're doing now with log homes. They're not just little log cabins (although you can still get one of those too). LOL, some of them are multi-million dollar estates now. Needless to say, I'd never be able to afford one on a teacher's salary.. haha.. but a girl can dream. I just love how serene they "feel". Just all cozy and whatnot. Plus after living a lifetime in the big city, I'm so ready get away from it at this point, go live in the woods and be a hermit of sorts.. LOL

Oh, what's that behind the house? Why, it's your smaller GUEST log house, where I will be coming to visit... purely to help with that writer's block (in between morning and afternoon horse-back rides), of course, because I'm so nice that way. :-D

Wouldn't that be awesome? We could have our own "writer's retreat" at my place! Gather a bunch of us LJ fic writers and just hang out for a week at the ole log house! LOL

Sweet. I'm so there. ;)

BTW - I have *always* wanted a log home, ever since I was a little girl. My idea of a compromise is to (when I actually get a house) decorate the living room lodge style. Lots of wood with hunter green as an accent color.

And my log home love is once again rekindled.

gen717 September 11 2010, 10:16:41 UTC

I've always loved them too, and the lodge style decor. I do have some in my home now, but I'd call mine more Native American themed? I still find it earthy and comforting. Hunter green is a fave of mine. :)

This is totally my husband's dream house!!!

gen717 September 11 2010, 10:17:42 UTC

Woot.. he can buy it for all the LJ fanfic writers so we can have a retreat.. lol. We'd give it back to him, of course.

OMG! Me too! There's something so beautiful about log houses and the one pictures is stunning!

gen717 September 15 2010, 03:25:03 UTC

Isn't just beautiful? So peaceful and serene. Wish I was there now! LOL
