This week in SSC:

"Take a picture of a permanent architectural detail INSIDE your home."

We live in a very rustic log home that my husband built over 30 years ago before we met. This is one of two vertical logs in the TV room that supports the horizontal ridgepole that holds up the roof. The house was his own design and he chose each tree from a local forest for the logs. I usually wind up looking at this log and thinking it's pretty cool as I watch TV. It's one of my favorite details of this part of the house.

You've got such a beautiful home and your husband made it himself! That's got a be a wonderful feeling to live in a place like that. I really like the lights twirled around that upper log.

Thanks, Kenny. Those are my little fairy lights. They actually cast a good amount of light on the room. They're nice for watching TV.

Can't get enough of your log cabin in the woods.

Karen's Place club has replied to Puchinpappy club
Aww, that's sweet, Pappy, thank you.

My uncle visited once and he spent the whole time grilling my husband on how he built the house he was so intrigued. I guess a lot of guys have a dream of building a log cabin but not many get the chance to do it.

That is really lovely Karen. I love beautiful wood features like this and to live in a log house must be so nice. Enjoy the rest os your weekend and keep safe.

Thanks, Carol. I've always been a fan of all things wooden too. Luckily logs were affordable at the time. Now it would be near impossible unless you were rich.

HI Karen!
I've loved this interior image of yours from the first glance.
So not only beautiful in itself, but a portrait of a house, elegant in its conception, but also so comfortably, intimately and warmly lived.
My best compliments to your husband and to You who have been able to represent it in such a suggestive and evocative way.

Hi Karen

A very nice picture, made special by the table lamp, but mor particularly by the knowledge that your husband built it so long ago, and so carefully that is still stands today! Great respect to the gentleman!

Best Wishes, and stay safe!!
