No matter how you say it, Ward's got the
most of it. As the founder of the manufactured log home industry, Ward Cedar Log Homes has been producing
homes of the highest quality for over 80 years. Our northern white cedar is insect and decay-resistant and
has the highest insulating factor of any log available. Years of research and testing have been invested
into our superior technical system of keeping homes air- and water-tight. And our complete home package
includes many well-known brand names, such as Andersen windows, Owens Corning* shingles, and Schlage
locksets. Call us today to receive our 80-page Planning Portfolio with
more than 30 home designs. And let our experience guide you

Conceal's light texture simulates the natural roughness of wood. Plus, Conceal's 7 colors blend in with the most popular stains
used on log homes. The combination of color and texture makes it hard to see where the caulking ends and the logs begin.

Instead, they just blend together!

Name Dropping
THREE WELL-KNOWN NAMES SPICE UP THE HOME
DECOR MARKET WITH NEW FURNITURE LINES.
Sweet Sensations. Piggybacking
on the success of its sister companies,
Pottery Barn and West Elm, foodie para-
dise Williams-Sonoma is cooking up its

own furniture line. Look for casual,

European-inspired dining and living room furni-

ture, along with entertaining accessories, lighting, bedding and

bath linens. Currently catalog only, the retailer plans to launch an e-
commerce site next spring, followed by a few retail stores in major
markets. 888-922-4110, wshome.com.

Ruggedly Handsome. The luxurious new

Lodge Collection from Eddie Bauer Home is turning
heads, thanks to its perfect blend of rustic and
refined details. We're talking oversized sleigh
beds, leather seating with antiqued-bronze
nailheads, cashmere-blend blankets and
400-thread-count bed linens. We love the
bouquets paired with jewel-toned
floral

glass hurricanes (pictured above). 800-426-8020, eddiebauerhome.com

Worldly Pursuits. When was I a little girl, I used to read

the J. Peterman catalog ogling the artful illustrations and dreaming
of an exotic African safari with its mysterious main man. (Of course,
that was before "Seinfeld" spoofed him on national TV!) These days
the elusive Mr. P (yes, he really exists) can be found promoting his
new 32-piece Jeffco Furniture line, which ranges from rancher chic to
J. Peterman
globetrotter glam. 888-647-2555, jpeterman.com.

Floor Bored?
No matter how beautiful your hardwood floors, occasionally

you need a little "something-something" to perk them up.

Enter Interface FLOR, an ingenious line of modular carpet tiles

that you can arrange to create personalized area rugs. Try

multicolored looped pile for a mosaic effect in the rec room.
Or opt for nubby sisal to add visual texture to your master

 More than just a heat source, fireplaces nowadays have become the focus of living spaces, making them must-

haves for most home owners. However, picking the best fireplace and accessories from the endless brands and
devices available can be daunting. To help you make a choice, there's What's In Style Fireplaces. This book
reviews all the options available, including the latest trends and technologies, so you can design a stylish and
efficient system that's also a sound investment

Joanne Still, a product and design writer, breaks down her suggestions based on form and function: how your
fireplace will look and how it will heat the room. Vivid color photos illustrate fireplace styles and architectural
forms, as well as the detailing and accessories you can choose to complete the look. She also suggests how to
arrange furniture to take advantage of the heat and offers tips for creating decorative mantel displays and plac-
ing art on surrounding walls. And once your vision is clear, you can use her resource guide of manufacturers
and associations to start shopping.

time meeting the 16- to 24-inch ground
clearance requirement. As a result, the
lower logs are often in harm's way.
Our advice: If your log home is

built on a slab, overhangs are even

more important. Try to protect as

much wall as you can with a wrap-

around porch or the widest possible

overhang (3 feet is ideal).

4 RAISE THE ROOF.

Overhangs can present some
design and construction challenges
especially for very steep roofs. As a roof
gets steeper, overhangs must extend
downward more for each "run" (a unit
of horizontal travel). So a 2-foot over-

hang might extend low enough to block

window tops.

DETE ATION
One couple builds a pet-friendly paradise in the rural Southeast.

At the end of a long day, nothing

beats the unconditional love of a dog.
Unless, of course, it's several dogs.

Vastly outnumbered by their pets, Valerie and Fritz Bates live with their
four-legged friends (10 dogs, 5 cats) on 7 wooded acres. They also host a

revolving door of foster pets, thanks to Valerie's role as president of the

local volunteer animal rescue program in Pickens, Georgia.

Five years ago, the Bates clan lived in a stick-frame house that was too

formal for their lifestyle. They wanted a home as inviting and forgiving
as their brood. Fortunately, Valerie is a talented interior designer and
Fritz is a sought-after landscaper. Together, they designed and built

Look on the Bright Side
It's true: Logs absorb more light than dry wall. And homes with
lodge-style high ceilings call for more lumens than traditional homes.
So how do you avoid living in the dark ages?

In this home, Valerie and Fritz Bates relied on a combination of

sources to create the three basic types of light: general, task and accent.
The great room alone features reading lamps and wall sconces,

spot tracks above the mantle, accent lighting in the corners, incandes-

cent recess lighting and track lights that dramatically brighten the

cathedral ceiling 30 feet above. Exterior landscape lighting built into

the stairwell walls illuminates the steps.

Perhaps the most original use of lighting is saved for the

screened-in porch where globes shaped from twigs and wrapped in

miniature white Christmas lights hang year-round from the rafters.

Another bright idea: ceiling fan fixtures offer a warm glow when more
light is needed.

and a band of willing volunteers (i.e.,

friends and family) made the transition

from bare bones to finished project.

That included framing, decking, floor-

father did all the electrical work.

"My parents were always helping," she

says. "We spent so much time together,

even cooking out on the construction

site. Those were fun times."

Stairway to Heaven
Valerie's design sense leans toward
open, spacious rooms, but she also

appreciates the element of surprise.

"I don't like to walk in a front door

and have everything exposed," she says.

To achieve these seemingly opposite

concepts, she designed a hallway that

runs from the foyer clear through to

the back of the house. As soon as you
enter the house, you have a choice:
explore doorways that entice you into

the belly of the home, or yield to the

tempting natural-twig railing and
climb the stairway to the loft.

First-time visitors immediately ask,

"Who did your railing?" Like so many of

the home's details, the banister is rustic

yet sophisticated, and one of a kind.

Fritz crafted the railing from native

mountain laurel cut from a thicket
growing on his relatives' property.

this experience turned out to be a labor

of love with beautiful results.

Getting Started
After purchasing more than 60 acres
of land 2 miles outside of Marietta,

John started sketching plans for their

log home in the fall of 2000. His
daughter, Kelly, an industrial designer
for Gillard Construction, then worked
up the plans in a CAD program. "I

didn't make many changes to his

ideas, just a few minor ones to get it

into the right proportions," she says.

Drive Time
The Gillard house rises majestically out of the side

of the hill, overlooking the valley below. John designed the

driveway, which is almost a half-mile long, "to follow a natu-

ral path through the trees" and preserve the heavily wood-

ed property as much as possible. This makes the land seem

less developed, which is just what the Gillards wanted. "We
like the openness and the freedom of the country," John

explains.

Another design consideration: the slope of the hill,

which was too steep for the driveway to come straight to

the front door. To lessen the incline, the driveway curves up

around the house to the garage out back (at the living-

room level). Then it circles down to the front of the house

Designer Peggy McGowen shares

her top-secret recipe for

log home kitchens in an

open floorplan.
BY WYATT MYERS

In the old days, kitchens and dining

rooms worked as separate, clearly
defined areas in a house. Some
kitchens had a small eating area or
breakfast nook. But, in general,
each room had its own unique role
and the two rarely crossed paths.
How things have changed.
Today many home owners are using open floorplans, where the
rooms ebb and flow as freely as Madonna's chi. In smaller homes,

combining the kitchen and dining room can be a practical, space-

saving choice. But, even in larger homes, some folks simply prefer

"sandwiching" (pardon the pun) these rooms together.

"One of the main reasons for this design change is the overall de-

formalization of the home," explains Peggy McGowen, a certified mas-

ter of kitchen and bath design and owner of Kitchen & Bath Concepts
in Houston, Texas. "People are becoming more casual in their

lifestyles and, as a result, dining and kitchen areas are becoming more
integrated."

Here Peggy serves up her favorite tips for designing a top-

notch kitchen in an open floorplan.

When it comes to kitchen sinks, our
designer-in-residence has one mantra:

Bigger is better.

"These days the designers at my

firm generally select sinks that have a
large basin on one side and a smaller
basin on the other," Peggy says. "This

lets people soak a pot on one side and

rinse dishes at the same time."

Another new trend: under-counter

sinks. "Mounting the sink below the
counter just looks nicer in contempo-
rary kitchens," she says.

Appliance Compliance
So far, our designer's ideal kitchen has a
big sink, knotty wood cabinets, and stone
countertops and backsplashes. And in

her mind, there's no better complement

to these elements than stainless steel.

"No other material can give you

the same clean, professional look in the

kitchen," says Peggy. "Several of my
clients have installed large stainless-

steel ovens with high BTUsand a few

have even installed smaller stainless-

steel refrigerators specifically for pro-

Hot Tips

for Designing a Fabulous (and Efficient) Fireplace

Whether it is a grand
masonry fireplace
stretching high
through a cathedral
ceiling or a small gas
fireplace tucked into a
corner, your hearth will no doubt be a

focal point of your log home. But a

hearth is more than just a place to

light a fire. By following these simple

guidelines, you can create a powerful

architectural element that gives you

much enjoymentand warmthfor

years to come.

Light My Fire
The first question must always be:
What kind of heat source should I

choose? The answer depends on how

you want to use your hearth.
If you want an open, crackling
blaze and don't mind the effort of cut-
ting or buying firewood then you'll do

fine with a wood-burning fireplace. If

you'd rather just flick a switch for

instant gratification, go for gas.

On the other hand, if your main

goal is to create an efficient heat

source for your home, then a wood or

pellet stove may suit you best. Or con-

burning fireplace designed to generate
maximum heat through a combination
of secondary combustion and radiant
heat from a large surface area. To fur-
ther maximize your hearth's heating
power, locate it on an interior wall,

preferably near the center of the home.

Pretty vs. Practical

Although an open fire is very inviting,
it consumes considerable fuel as well as

oxygen from your room. With a sealed

fire, you burn less fuel, but you also
lose the sound effects and visual impact

of a roaring fire. In fact, with many

wood-burning stoves, you can't even see
the flames. If you do opt for a covered

flame, ceramic glass doors radiate con-

siderably more heat than tempered

glass doors.

Heat Things Up
With an open fire, most of the heat
goes up the chimney. Well-designed
fireplaces and stoves have air spaces

around the combustion chamber to pick

up heat and transport it to the room
through convection. Some units also
have ducts that direct the heat into
other rooms. Otherwise, a large ceiling
fan can drive rising warm air into

other rooms.

Room with a View

I've seen many scenic views compro-

mised by placing an imposing fireplace

right in the middle of the vista.

Consider locating your hearth to the

side of the view. During the day, you
can focus on the scene outside. At
night, you can face the fire.

While the fire is likely the reason you
want a hearth in the first place, the

We call it The Mountain View, but if this log home were built
with a view of an ocean, lake or forest it would still look great.

home is warm and comfortable just the way it is, but it can
easily be expanded to fit your needs.
