Back of Custom Log Home

While the front of our custom log home looks quite tame and quaint, the back is an altogether different story!

Remembering that the front looks to the road (nestled well behind rows of pines) the back of the houses faces the pastures where our Rocky Mountain horses graze.

This is why all the windows and doors are facing southernly (again good planning for energy efficiency).

Points of interest:

• The shed dormer I discussed earlier that allows for full height in the loft and upper bedroom area.
• The upper deck that opens from the loft living room/den/office. Right now it is Veronica’s upper deck.
• The full length deck on the main floor - entrance from the dining room.
• The windows on the main floor are, left-to-right: kitchen, dining, bathroom.
• Full walkout basement with one large window (my office area).

Yes, my office is in the basement in this house. Only because I saw a desk at Ikea that I just had to have and it doesn’t fit anywhere else in the house! The desk is a glass top with the word “love” in 50 languages etched into the surface. Now who could resist? So now I have a new task added to my ‘later’ list - decorate the basement suitable for working.
