With trees as far as the eye could see, it's no wonder that pioneers, trappers, loggers, and mountain men used logs to build shelter from the elements. Log cabins embrace fond memories of days past. From the solid woodworking of Early American pieces to the ornate embellishments of the Victorian era to the quarter-sawn oak pieces of Gustav Stickley - whatever your heart desires, that style will fit in a log cabin. Although its roots are buried in other lands, we've adopted the log cabin as an American icon.
Arts & Crafts style, which first blossomed in England, made its way to the United States in the early 1900s. Its abundant use of handmade wood furniture makes this style a natural in log cabins.
A verdigris light fixture illuminates this great room and shows the Asian influence on Arts & Crafts design. The Stickley-style chairs and sofa are a perfect match for the finely finished wood mantel.
A stained-glass masterpiece at the front door makes a striking first impression. A table lamp with a mica shade lights the Stickley sideboard and sets the stage for an authentic Arts & Crafts interior.
