Designing Your Log Home

As you start designing your log home, the layout you choose will surely reflect the way you intend to use the home. You will undoubtedly think of more closets, office space, a bigger living room, spacier kitchen, a large master bedroom with full ensuite, all these are part of why you want to build your new home. When you are designing your log home, plan on years ahead and how that may affect your design now. The majority of the population has reached the 50's mark and now are in a financial position where they are able to build their dream home. You have to think about many more things for the home now then you did 30 years ago, like two-car garages, home offices, more electrical appliances and outlets,etc,. Think, as well, that nowadays there is much more glass in our homes. We constantly change what we like, carpet for instance may not be as popular as before, now its wood floors and tiles. Front porches are also returning. Formal dining and living rooms are disappearing, now its open kitchens fewer hallways and more master bedrooms on the main floor. The last thing you want to happen is to live in a home that hasn't met your expections.
