Press
Release Body: Log Cabins: Past & Present is an incredible
collection of imagery that takes you on a tour of old and new log homes, offering
restorers and new homebuilders alike a chance to recreate architectural traditions
in a home for today’s family. There’s inspiration for every room
inside, as well as the exteriors of structures that are part of time-honored
landscapes. Examine details of log finishing and chinking, staircases, windows,
doorways, and floors that work together to frame the log home lifestyle. Hundreds
of photos make this a priceless reference for planning and furnishing your dream
log cabin.
Hearthstone began thousands of homes ago in 1971 as a restorer
of old log homes in the southern Appalachian Mountains. It wasn't long until
there were more people who wanted those homes than there were old logs for restoration.
When Hearthstone set out to learn how to craft new homes –
it was imperative to keep the quiet strength of character of those original
log and heavy timber homes of the Early American Timberwright®. Though thoroughly
designed and engineered to reflect the experience of thousands of homes and
the best in modern technology and comfort, Hearthstone’s log homes remain
what they were at our modest, yet proud, beginning: faithful reproductions of
those 150-200 year old, heart-stopping, hewn, and dove-tailed homes that were
the pride and labor of our forefathers.
