These Log Homes Were Restored to Tip-Top Shape

Before: Dining

Set on 300 acres beside Montana’s Clearwater River, the spacious Emily A was built of hand-peeled and fitted larch logs in the 1990s. The new owners especially enjoy the rear deck overlooking their pond and the Mission Mountain Wilderness.

AFTER: Great Room

Patricia replaced the trio of upholstered couches with a double-sided, tufted-leather sofa to create two distinct seating areas, one facing the mountains, the other the fireplace.

AFTER: Dining and Kitchen

 Owner Patricia changed out the flooring, cabinetry and appliances in the kitchen. The design for the alder cabinets, for example, was inspired by her bedroom furniture.
