Modernizing a Log Home
This homeowner came to us with a heartfelt request: to transform their rustic log house into a place they could truly love—a home where they could comfortably live out their years and joyfully welcome visits from their grandchildren. From the very beginning, the goal was clear: create easy, seamless one-level living and brighten and open the spaces wherever possible.
We approached the design with an emphasis on warmth, accessibility, and flow, rethinking each room to bring in more natural light, improve circulation, and make daily living simpler and more enjoyable. The result is a refreshed, welcoming home that honors the character of the original log structure while offering the comfort, openness, and livability the homeowners envisioned for their next chapter.
In the following photos you’ll see the BEFORE, DESIGNED, and AFTER process that helped us create this beautifully renovated home.
