How to Build Cabins

Oh to be able to get away from it all. To my own private place, away from the crowds. A place of my own heart and design.

Cabins Lodges...

THIS year more and more American families will pile into their cars and take to the hills - or seashore - to seek refuge and blessed escape in their own little -or large-cozy retreat.

Sheer luxury, yes, but at prices, we have found, that are well within the reach of most of us.

We have run across many interesting people in the preparation of this site and the book that goes with it -in fact all the folks we've contacted were somehow relaxed and thoughtful types.

This, we discovered, was no coincidence.

These people had already tasted the rich, clear wine of freedom and pure air.

They had taken time out to live, and in living they had come alive.

Enjoy - D.T.

Wrought Iron Décor for Rustic Mountain Charm
Johann Erickson
1102 Anyone having had the privilege of visiting the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee knows well the thick pine forests, tumbling rivers, and delightful atmosphere of days gone by. The scenery is breathtaking, yet cozy mystical, yet warm and inviting. Log cabins, hearty food, and friendly people typify life in the Smoky Mountains. Wildlife abounds, and narrow meandering roads consistently promise yet another captivating meadow just around the next bend. For those fortunate few who live in the Smokies, home is in a wooded glen, or a scenic view of the neighboring ridge. Life is rustic, comfortable and serene. For the rest of us who long to revisit these enchanting forests, even if we live in Midwestern suburbia, we can bring the ambiance of the Smoky Mountains right into our own homes with traditional rustic /www.onlinediscountmart.com/wrought-iron.html target=_blank>http://www.onlinediscountmart.com/wrought-iron.html>wrought iron decor.

Smoky Mountain decor is fairly easy to emulate simply visualize the woodland scene and take that vision into your living room. It might begin with a wrought iron welcome sign posted cheerfully on your front door, welcoming you, your family, and guests into the indoor mountain sanctuary. As you walk into the room, the rugged wood paneled walls are warmed by a rawhide shade atop a sculpted forest wrought iron lamp. An antique rocker sits next to a crackling fire in the fireplace and the heavy pine sofa is flanked by wrought iron end tables, each with a base covered in sculpted woodland scenes. The room needn't be sparse, but don't overcrowd it either. A few rustic wrought iron accent pieces will compliment your mountain flair. Fine touches such as a moose switch plate cover, a bear light sconce, elk bookends, and a /www.onlinediscountmart.com/30333.html target=_blank>http://www.onlinediscountmart.com/30333.html>moose coat rack will add rustic character without overwhelming the senses. Round out the look with a wolf pack mantle piece just above your fireplace.

Cozy up the powder room with matching wrought iron bathroom accessories that will give rustic character to this most private of rooms. A decorative towel bar, hand towel ring and tissue accessories can be bordered with either bears, moose, horseshoes, fish, cabins, cowboys, horses, or any number of woodsy designs. Top your bathroom mirror with a cabin scene vanity light. This array of rustic pieces can be offset with a wispy white shower curtain and window covering, bringing to mind the morning mist hovering over the woodland coves.

The kitchen, like the rest of the house, should feel cozy, but open, like a hunting lodge. A large, rugged rectangular table and sturdy chairs will be the focus, and an inviting accent is a handsome wrought iron chandelier with four hanging globes depicting western themes such as cowboys, horses, bears, and wolves. A hanging metal pot rack suspended from the ceiling over the stove will free up extra cabinet space. Add a splash of color with a big bowl of fruit in the middle of the kitchen table, right next to the wrought iron salt and pepper holders.

Last but not least, the bedroom, with its sturdy pine bed, antique quilt and braided rug. Add to the warmth with wrought iron cabin light sconces on the wall above the bed. A moose wall shelf with hooks for hanging clothing or accessories will be both practical and decorative, completing the rustic look.

A rustic mountain lair can be yours even if you live in suburbia. Adorning your rooms with natural woodland wrought iron decor will make it feel as if your home is a charming extension of the woods outside. The only thing you'll be lacking is the view.
