"I used a compass and laid out the design so every major room framed
the rising sun and the beautiful Highwood mountain range in the distance,"
James says. "From the front door, the cathedral timber-vault with a prow
overhang mimics the mountains on the horizon. Bowed vertical windows
wrap around the expansive prairie."
Two massive, full cedar tree trunks hold up the balcony and frame the
main living area, which is set off by a full wall filled with log slices of
various sizes.
"I had seen different styles before and thought this would be different
since it is such a large space," says Angela, who conceptualized the log wall
herself. "It's all made to feel as though you are still outside."
Most of the rough-sawn reclaimed beams used throughout the home
were originally part of an old barn, she says.
"Angela was very interested in the contrast between modern and rustic,"
explains interior designer Laura Stearns, owner of Georgia-based Studio 21
Interiors. "We wanted something that was kind of mountain-chic. Nothing
that was traditionally thought of as being a cabin, but a space that was still
homey-feeling."
The epitome of relaxing in luxury.
A floating timber staircase pairs modern design with
rustic simplicity.
