The right attention to detail can connect modern with log cabin rustic.

With the right attention to detail and design, the charming, rustic, natural elements of a log home can partner beautifully with modern amenities. In this New Hampshire home, we incorporated a modern kitchen without compromising the bucolic aesthetic of the logs.

The open floor plan and thoughtful spaces seamlessly blend modern elements while preserving the exposed natural architectural features.

The color scheme is purposefully simple, letting the logs inside and the views to the outside be the focal points.

This home features 10-inch-diameter eastern white pine logs in combination with wood harvested from the property.
