Christmas in the Woods

The 3,950-square-foot house differs most from the typical log home on the inside, where the design is light and airy.

With the exception of the master suite, the first floor is almost entirely open. Unlike in many log homes, a number of the interior walls are plaster rather than wood. And to tone down the visual effect of the log walls that are exposed, Lynda used an opaque stain to cover the wood grain and knots. A balcony from the upstairs opens the space even more.
