Release Body: Log Cabins: Past & Present
is an incredible collection of imagery that takes you on a tour
of old and new log homes, offering restorers and new homebuilders
alike a chance to recreate architectural traditions in a home
for today’s family. There’s inspiration for every
room inside, as well as the exteriors of structures that are part
of time-honored landscapes. Examine details of log finishing and
chinking, staircases, windows, doorways, and floors that work
together to frame the log home lifestyle. Hundreds of photos make
this a priceless reference for planning and furnishing your dream
log cabin.
Hearthstone
began thousands of homes ago in 1971 as a restorer of
old log homes in the southern Appalachian Mountains. It wasn't
long until there were more people who wanted those homes than
there were old logs for restoration. When Hearthstone
set out to learn how to craft new homes – it was
imperative to keep the quiet strength of character of those original
log and heavy timber homes of the Early American Timberwright®.
Though thoroughly designed and engineered to reflect the experience
of thousands of homes and the best in modern technology and comfort,
Hearthstone’s log homes remain what they were at our modest,
yet proud, beginning: faithful reproductions of those 150-200
year old, heart-stopping, hewn, and dove-tailed homes that were
the pride and labor of our forefathers.
