Realizing Their Log Home Dream -
Anna & Larry Nelson's Journey
For years Anna and Larry had talked about building that very
unique and perfect log home, a desire that many folks can relate to. With a fondness
for natural materials and superb craftsmanship, log homes were an obvious
choice. The couple's eclectic collection of antique furniture and classic
cars and trucks were also a strong influence in all of their considerations.
Another natural and essential selection of course was the stone from their own
business that they have so wonderfully developed. Thus, all of the
elements were in place for this inevitable project and a decision was reached to
fully pursue what they had for so long seen in their own "mind's eye".
A trip to Louisville Kentucky was soon slated to come and visit
various exhibitors in a log home show, in their quest for selecting the supplier
of their projects. It was there in Louisville that we had the privilege of
meeting this special couple, and soon thereafter design work was underway for
their new home. Initial construction of their personal residence, and the
residence of Larry's mother began soon after. This couple from Arkansas
faced exceptional challenges during the process, meeting each and every
challenge along the way. Now the rewards of their dedication and
persistence are all coming to fruition, as their home is currently finishing up.
Some up-to-date photos of these nearly completed projects are featured in the
photo gallery below.
Project Notes
Both the Nelson residence and Mrs. William's residence (Larry's
mother) are handcrafted homes, featuring full scribe saddled notched Douglas Fir
log work, stunning architecture, and large expanses of decks, open balconies and
more. And in fitting fashion, the central feature is the use of their own
stone, quarried right on their property, in diverse applications throughout the
homes and the "hardscapes". Nothing less the a perfect 10 is the score for
Anna and Larry, for truly they have delivered two masterpieces in gallant
fashion.
