Log and Timber Home Living

WHAT’S HAPPENING ONLINE

Cabin Studies • Step inside Sunset Ridge, a 1,150-square-foot cabin in Ohio’s Hocking Hills region that proves smart design is just as valuable as square footage.

Designing a Garden Room • This is next-level indoor/outdoor living.

Bucket List Building • Owning a custom log or timber home is a once-in-a-lifetime dream for many, but building it comes with costs that are very real. Divide and conquer, and you can achieve your goals.

Rock Your World • The push and pull of this Montana home’s masculine and feminine elements shines bright in its timeless and highly functional kitchen.

Pastime Design • Ultra-customizable, log and timber home floor plans offer the opportunity to put the fun back in functional.

Little Details, BIG DIFFERENCE • Just because you’ve already built your own log or timber home doesn’t mean you can’t optimize your place for the lifestyle you want. Take a look at these three approachable ways you can update your place to enhance your hobbies and interests — without building a whole new house:

Counting Stars • This primary bedroom gets its panache from an all-out Americana theme. Such a nostalgic motif feels perfectly appropriate for a classic log home poised on a 25-acre tract of land near the Salmon Falls River in southwestern Maine. A muted palette that leans toward maroon rather than fire-engine red and a soft, weathered version of Old Glory blue imbues a sense of down-home comfort. Dream up a similar look for your own bedroom with these finds.

Alternative Thinking • Log, timber and hybrid homes are uniquely designed, so whether you’re building new, adding on or restoring, these one-of-a-kind structures sometimes call for equally unique heating and cooling solutions. These alternative systems offer creative ways to stay comfortable — physically and financially.

Chalet by the Sea • On Vancouver Island’s eastern shore, a cedar cabin outfitted in coastal style offers the ultimate waterfront retreat for nature lovers.

THE TOP PLANS OF ’24 • Overlook the Oscars; forget the Grammys … we’ve got your award winners right here.

Creating an Energy-Efficient Environment • From light bulbs to appliances, small-but-sustainable swaps can mitigate rising energy costs.

MORE THAN THEY BARGAINED FOR • A Pennsylvania couple trades a boring, brick ranch for a larger-than-life, resort-style home, brimming with character, inside and out.

Farm Fresh at the Shore • Combining design aesthetics can be a challenge, but in this waterside home, a talented architect and skilled timber framer make it look easy.

Classic + CONTEMPORARY • With loads of natural materials and wide-open spaces, this Ohio retreat offers an elevated take on traditional log home style with a design that appeals to modern living.
