The stylish Cutter range set out to challenge the nostalgic and romantic design that had typified wooden garden furniture for many years. The designer Niels Hvass therefore focused his design on clean, simple lines, and this has resulted in an honest and elegant design. The range started with the beautiful Cutter Bench and has since been developed into a complete range. As previously mentioned, Cutter was originally intended for the garden, but the beautiful simplicity of the range has shown itself to be ideal for hallways, bathrooms and kitchens.

Tucked away in the backwoods of Torch Lake, this home marries “rustic” with the sleek elegance of modern. The combination of wood, stone and metal textures embrace the charm of a classic farmhouse. Although this is not your average farmhouse. The home is outfitted with a high performing system that seamlessly works with the design and architecture. The tall ceilings and windows allow ample natural light into the main room. Spire Integrated Systems installed Lutron QS Wireless motorized shades paired with Hartmann & Forbes windowcovers to offer privacy and block harsh light. The custom 18′ windowcover’s woven natural fabric complements the organic esthetics of the room. The shades are artfully concealed in the millwork when not in use. Spire installed B&W in-ceiling speakers and Sonance invisible in-wall speakers to deliver ambient music that emanates throughout the space with no visual footprint. Spire also installed a Sonance Landscape Audio System so the homeowner can enjoy music outside. Each system is easily controlled using Savant. Spire personalized the settings to the homeowner’s preference making controlling the home efficient and convenient.

Log Cabins Over The Ages Log cabins have been in existence for a long time and it is assumed that they were first built during the Bronze Age. This means that humans have been living in log cabins for over 5000 years. Written works from that age show that logs were placed over one another to build log cabins and if there were any gaps in between logs, then wood chippings were used to fill them. Log cabins are more prevalent in the cool climes rather than the hotter ones and this is the reason that you can find a lot of log cabins in Europe rather than in South Asia. The early settlers in North America used the Scandinavian technique of building log cabins when they settled in the cold parts of the continent. Over the years when larger homes started being constructed, log cabins started being used as outbuildings. Though they were used as outbuildings the charm of log cabins has not diminished. In fact, Abraham Lincoln has gone on to say that he was proud to be born in a log cabin. In the United Kingdom log cabin construction ceased considerably in the 20th century. People found it below their dignity to live in log cabins, as they thought that it was just basic housing. However, over time, log cabins have made a comeback and you can find log cabins in almost every garden in the UK. It has become a very common sight. There are many log cabin kit providers in the UK like Waltons. The choice of log cabin is also many such as: • Corner Log Cabin • Log Cabin Studio • Home Office Log Cabin • Insulated Log Cabin • Pool House Log Cabin • Traditional Log Cabin and much much more. Nowadays everyone likes to be hands on and hence you get DIY log cabin kits. Everything is laid out for you and you just need to follow the steps mentioned. You can do it alone or you can get one or two of your friends or family to help you and you will be able to create a log cabin. Creating anything gives a lot of satisfaction and when you create something truly nice you will feel genuinely overwhelmed. If you do not like to get your hands dirty then you have the option of asking the provider to send professionals to come and set up the log cabin for you.
