 |
| Built in 2002, the Rogers' cabin looks long rooted in the northern Georgia forest. Susan especially loves the dark green metal roof; when it rains, the sound reminds her of childhood summers in her grandmother's tin-roofed home. |
 |
| Not one of the interior doors in Alan and Susan Rogers' fits a standard profile. All are antiques, just as the stair railings and banisters are fashioned from old poles that were originally used to dry tobacco in sheds throughout the South. In the dormers above the first floor, weathered barnboard sheathes the interior walls. |
 |
| A fireplace wall dominates the living room. Composed of local sandstone that was gathered from area creek beds and fitted into place on site, it represents the spirit of the cabin, which is a triumph of reuse, recycling and taking cues from the environment. Susan eschewed new furniture and, instead, outfitted her home using inherited and found pieces. |
 |
| The simple kitchen cabinets came from a local building-supply store; more important than the source was the rubbed-back finish and the unassuming design that suits woodland living. The kitchen counters are fashioned from stone-simulating Formica. No fancy, shiny building materials were well-suited for this house, the homeowners and the builders agree. |
 |
| Windsor chairs, painted black, surround the antique dining table. Susan Rogers' insistence that nature take priority resulted in an interior perfectly matched to the cabin's ancient logs and recycled architectural elements. |
 |
| The patina of age lends unmistakable vérité; a new copper vessel sink, placed atop a weathered piece of furniture and fed via wall-mounted handles and spigot, is paired with a Tramp Art mirror in the tiny powder room. |
 |
| The first-floor master bedroom provides extensive views of the surrounding woodland, yet feels like the private retreat it is. Susan used an old door to create the shelf above the headboard, finding that this kind of repurposing of old pieces creates the perfect aesthetic fit for a log home. |
 |
| In the master bathroom, Susan gave fresh life to the top of an old dresser by hanging it above the tub, where it provides storage. The hefty metal brackets, too, echo the functional spirit of reuse that built this house. |
 |
| Log-house construction lends itself to countless storage solutions. In the dining room, an old metal baker's rack, pushed against the corner of an interior wall, looks as though it had been planned and built into the house. |
 |
| A wicker couch, peeled coffee table and ceramic vases create a romantic, Old World setting on the sleeping porch. |
