Living in a Log Home in New Hampshire’s White Mountains
Tuesday, March 31st, 2009
I never realized how much I’d come to love the Mt. Washington Valley. It’s just such a beautiful place with the clean air, amazing water, skiing and, of course, Mt. Washington looming over us like a big sleeping lion.
What makes the area even more appealing to me is the log home I live in. Yeah, I have the babbling brook out back that is starting to come alive after a winter’s freeze, and I may get to see a bear walking through the land looking for something to eat after a long winter’s nap, but it’s the home itself, it’s alive with nature!
I have trees in my home, and it is one of the most comforting feelings. Trees as beams on the ceiling, trees as beams on the walls, it’s beautiful. Even after living in the log home for 6 years, I wake up every morning and still feel like I’m in a vacation home, far away from everything. 
Decorating a log home is a blast, you can make it look like a fun, ski lodge, or sheet rock a wall or two to paint and retain light.
Log homes tend to be dark, so one must learn to use lighting the correct way, with sconces, up-lights, or track lighting in certain places.
There’s a lot to learn when living and building a log home, so if there’s anything I can do to help, just email me!. You can view the log homes for sale in NH White Mountains too!
