Owning a log cabin is so dreamy to think about.
It’s one of those homes that remind you of a peaceful getaway.
There’s a certain charm to it that exudes warmth and comfort, and it’s a highly versatile structure.
You can style it up a bit, and it’s a perfect mix of new and old interior design.
The logs give you that vintage feel of homes from the old days, but you can add something more modern to its overall design to make it look modern or chic.
And it is a plus if you have an inspiration or something to base it on.
Log cabins are built in a certain way that makes them stand through extreme weather, including hurricanes.
Buying pre-cut and pre-drilled wood will make building a sturdy house easier like people built it centuries ago.
When he bought an old log cabin, this man found a treasure and remade it into his 1830s-style dream home.
The log cabin was entirely out of shape.
All you can see is its primary structure.
According to this man who posted his rebuild story on Imgur, most of the logs were rotten; some needed much help, while others were utterly useless.
The previous owner needed to label the logs that could still be used.
It is because the logs needed to be arranged the same way.
This is one advantage of log cabins because their frames and the rest of their base structure are crafted to be built faster and sturdier.
After the logs were dismantled and labeled, it was time to move them into his property.
He transferred the logs as they were labeled and supposedly arranged from the bottom to the topmost part.
The log cabin slowly came together one log at a time and added a new roof, window, and door frame.
He started working on the interior, especially on some log cabin must-haves.
While wood has “thermal mass” to keep any log cabin in comfortable temperatures no matter the season, he wanted to ensure that he stayed warm during the winter.
So, he built a brick fireplace in the middle of his home and right in front of their long dining table.
The loft bedroom looks cozy, too, with that little skylight.
It has enough space to sleep two people comfortably.
The wood heading up there was also made of thick, strong wood and kept in its original state, adding a rustic look inside his home.
He also shared a photo of his log cabin during the winter. Isn’t it dreamy?
It’s like everyone’s dream home.
Others may not like the thought of being in a house made of wood, especially during the winter, but the way this man built it somehow felt warmer than most homes with heating.
This man is a genius for creating a home for himself out of an old cabin and making it so homey you’d like to welcome yourself in.
