Home Design tip!
Start with the BIG picture. Begin with the structure, the look of the home of
your dreams. Then drill down to laying out the interior rooms - sizes,
placement in the home, etc. When developing room dimensions, keep in mind that
logs are thick; a 12 x 12 bedroom shrinks considerably when your walls are 8-12"
(or more) deep. Look for opportunities to add built-ins wherever possible;
shelves, closets and cabinets conveniently spaced will help to control the
inevitable clutter that always appears from nowhere
Although your architect or log home manufacturer will meet the code standards
for things like electrical outlets, consider adding more than what the average
code calls for in rooms that will have high demands. Decide where you will
place your entertainment centers, computers and other such gear and make
allowances for such needs.
