Custom Ashville
This custom log home is based on the popular Ashville model. Featuring floor to ceiling windows and a large front deck, the Ashville log home plan gives the grand, spacious feeling of a mountain lodge in a modest footprint that keeps the daily routine easy and organized.
In this version of the Ashville, round log purlins and a sturdy log truss make for a warm, welcoming entry. The covered porch details like a wrought-iron lantern and cheerful teal door add to the rustic, friendly feel of this home.
The spacious deck off the great room is ideal for outdoor entertaining, complete with a covered side porch perfect for a stack of firewood and a grill.
Classic log cabin features like exposed log purlins, square log corners, and well-proportioned roof lines give this home a timeless charm, while the simple black framed windows and dark shingles add modern sophistication.
With soaring windows, round log purlins, and a cozy fieldstone fireplace, the great room embodies the rustic grandeur of log home living.
Colorful art and plenty of natural light adds to the cheerful warmth surrounding the fireplace. Practical built-in storage cabinets flank the hearth, and a chunky cedar mantle reflects the sturdy, rugged feel of the stone.
Floor to ceiling windows take in the forest views by day, while understated track lighting offers a soft glow when the sun goes down. The warm cedar tones complement the wooded landscape beyond the deck, and unlike pine which tends to turn a dated brassy gold with time, Northern White Cedar will simply lighten a bit with age if left untreated.
Exquisite craftsmanship highlights the natural beauty of Northern White Cedar logs. The stairs to the loft are situated along a sturdy log truss in the center of the home, and timeless leather furnishings and a natural fiber rug feel grounded beneath the vaulted cedar log ceilings. The hallway below the stairs leads to two first floor bedrooms- a practical use of space in this compact design.
The open kitchen and dining room is tucked just beyond the main living room with versatile seating and an efficient layout. The spacious dining area fits a table large enough for entertaining, but bar seating in the kitchen is just right for a quick snack. Touches of matte black throughout lend an understated elegance to this light-hearted space.
Dining Room Opening to Great Room
The simple L-shaped bar makes meal prep a breeze. The soft denim blue cabinets break up the warm wood tones, and keeping the countertop a simple neutral gray ties it all together. The large apron-front sink and simple cabinet hardware are both functional and timeless.
Sleek, stainless steel appliances are tucked neatly into Shaker-style cabinets for an understated and practical look. A half-lite door leads to the mudroom beyond.
Practical shaker cabinets continue into the bathrooms, this time in a soft, misty gray. A little sparkle in the gold pendant light and faucet are a perfect complement to the warm cedar tones and dark gray tile.
The versatile layout of these bathrooms works for a standup shower downstairs and a full bathtub in the loft. Simple, square, double hung windows keep the room from feeling too busy, while letting in plenty of natural light.
A cozy, rustic bedroom offers a serene retreat. The plush light carpet and soft bedding are a soft contrast to the solid wood of the walls, ceiling, and furniture. Simple matte white wall sconces add a touch of modernity while still coordinating with the understated, gentle feel of the room.

Custom Corporate Retreat
The open concept great room in this custom corporate retreat is the perfect example of how to create separate areas in a large space. The sturdy cedar post defines the corner of the fireplace living room, while a second sitting area offers floor to ceiling outdoor views between the wall of windows and an exposed log truss. The dining room and kitchen are each well-defined, but still connected by the large island with bar seating.
The great room embodies the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern elegance. The vaulted cedar log ceiling with exposed beams and solid round trusses makes for a commanding space, with a comfortable sitting area in warm tones adding a grounding softness. Multiple layers of lighting, including rail lighting, chandeliers, wall sconces, and floor lamps, offer an array of options to create the perfect ambiance.
The stacked stone fireplace and wall-mounted flat screen T.V share the stage as the focal point in the living room. The wooden mantle seamlessly transitions to the ceiling for a cohesive, organic feel.
A separate sitting area serves as a calming repose from the main living space. A lower ceiling and three walls of windows defines the space while remaining connected to the great room.
The modern look of this kitchen feels just right under the rustic cedar log ceiling. The secret to blending these two seemingly opposite styles is quite simple- by keeping the cabinet and chair colors neutral and incorporating natural stone on the backsplash and countertops, all the elements look right at home.
Large pendant lights centered on the island echo the smaller task lighting over the sink, creating a ceiling-like effect below the exposed beams.
The simple layout of the kitchen proves that bigger isn’t always better in a task-oriented space. By not crowding the wall with too many upper cabinets, there’s more room for natural light and a beautifully tiled backsplash. The large island adds plenty of storage and ample counter space, with task lighting and clean white stone for a naturally contemporary look.
The kitchen and dining area embrace a rustic yet sophisticated design. Exposed ceiling beams set the tone, showcasing the natural charm of cedar. Clean white walls, stainless steel appliances, and simple furnishings offer a contemporary balance to the rugged cedar framing.

Unassuming white becomes an accent color when paired with natural wood, matte black metal, and dark stone tiles.
Forgoing a full laundry room for a hallway laundry nook is a great way to save space. Simple task lighting and wide, open doorways define the area and maintain a practical, modern feel.
Another lesson in balancing rustic and modern is displayed here in the entry hall. The rugged ceiling beams transition easily to the warm wooden walls, while the sleek closet doors and wide paneled light flooring showcase a more refined application of wood. Paired with clean white walls and modern sconces, the entrance is simple, cozy, and stylish.
The primary bedroom feels restful with shades of blue and gray, but the abundance of light, patterned rug, and soaring cathedral ceiling add a bright and cheerful balance.
A fresh white accent wall and simple furnishings keep this tidy bedroom classic and comfortable. The rustic wooden walls and light wood floor are balanced by a modern area rug, crisp striped bedding, and sleek black hardware.
Square exposed beams on the loft ceiling give it a more modern look, tying in nicely with the abstract area rug, white walls, and simple furnishings for a room that’s contemporary and cozy.
A loft is a classic feature of any log home, and the versatility of such a space is demonstrated here. Perfect for yoga, reading, or napping, the simple loft is a great use of space.
The loft is comfy and casual, but maintains a refined look by keeping the color palette simple. Only navy, gray, and white are used throughout, so even mixing plaids, patterns, and textures feels cohesive.

Corrugated metal is a bold choice for a ceiling, but paired with natural wood it feels just right. Just like in the kitchenette it reflects lots of light, making this cozy bunk room feel bright and fun.
