The Rustic Cabin: Design & Architecture
With a focus on architecture and details, Ralph Kylloe introduces creative rustic designs that are reviving the age-old tradition of cabin craftsmanship. Included are newly built log and stone homes steeped in history, not only of the region where they are built but also of the log-building history of Scandinavian ancestors and mountain men whose small log cabins protected them from the harsh elements of the mountain frontier and gave them comfort by a cozy fire. Displaying photographic details of the highest-quality workmanship in stone masonry and log work, these homes also boast a blending of fine antiques and contemporary furnishings. Arts & Crafts, Scandinavian, and western legacies in furniture building and interior styling steal the scene in many rooms.  These homes are rich in vision, beauty and warmth-photographed and framed by Ralph's keen eye for quality and richness.
