Outdoor Seating Pavilions, Pergolas, and Arbors Made from Logs
Monday, January 15th, 2007
If you’re a log home owner and you want to extend the rustic lifestyle to the backyard, you might consider a pergola, pavilion, arbor, or other garden structure made from logs.
The sheltered seating area shown here is one of several structures available from Romancing the Woods, a company that specializes in gazebos, railings, gates, benches, bridges, pergolas, etc. in rustic styles that might have been found in 19th-century European estate gardens or that fit into the popular Adirondack Great Camp style. The company builds with eastern red cedar and other tree species indigenous to the Catskill Mountains.
Looking to add a table to your recreation room or bar area? Or maybe you need to add an eating place to an outdoor living space. If you like the look of wood, it doesn’t get any more woodsy than this “tree trunk” teak pub table. It has matching chairs that ought to make you feel like you’re sitting and sipping your wine in the great outdoors.
If you’ve decided to go with a rustic theme in the kitchen of your log home or log vacation get-away, then you might want to carry that through to the accessories. This wrought iron paper towel holder has a fun wilderness touch with its decorative pine cones. It’s available in an upright countertop version (shown) and a horizontal under-cabinet mounting version. Either one will cost you about $18 at Sticks & Stitches.
