Reclaimed Log Home in Colorado | November 2008 | Log Home Living
|
| Salvaged and new logs blend to give the cozy cabin an authentic look. The home's original floor joists and roof rafters found a new life as exterior trim. |
|
|
|
| The focal point of the living area is the fireplace. Not a part of the original structure, it was crafted using stones from the property. Salvaged wood from the original upper level and a New Jersey barn became door and window trim, as well as a new TV cabinet crafted by homeowner Paul Kingsbury. |
 |
| The centerpiece of the kitchen is the 100-year-old stove. It was rebuilt to include a new insulated electric oven. The burners are original and are totally functional. |
 |
| Floor-to-ceiling windows in the main-level master bedroom allow sunlight to pour into the space and also provide a view of the rolling hills of the Kingsbury's property. |
 |
| In the downstairs bath, the flea-market antique sink is an authentic touch in this already historic structure. Kitschy red country curtains and a pair of porcelain chicks atop the cabinet inject a burst of color and whimsy. |

Oh, I'm so enviouse. I used to live in Colorado, now I'm in D.C. on Penn. Ave. Imagine that, I miss Colorado and my wife and I dream of owning a home just like this one.
I have an environmental website and I'm just waiting till we retire.

Hello!
As far as we know, this gorgeous house isn't for sale. Sorry! Yes, there is some acreage---a significant plot, but not for Colorado. Yes, there is water/sewage on the property. They tapped into a well and have septic.
Good luck in your log home search!

For many years I have been working with people who have us build new log homes. However over the last 3 years we have been working more and more with folks restoring older log homes with awsome results.
