Log Home Ideas

If you’ve built your log home in a remote location–or at least one surrounded with trees, a lake, mountains, etc–you’ll probably want to spend lots of time outdoors enjoying your view. This means you need some good outdoor furniture. Maybe you even want something built with logs to continue the loggy theme into your outdoor living area. Now you can find lots of log furniture, but there isn’t too much out there designed to appeal to sports fans.

That’s why this rocking chair made from logs and skis is pretty unique. Couldn’t you just imagine it on the patio, or perhaps even inside by the fireplace, in a mountain cabin near a ski resort?

Offered by Northline Express, the rocking chair is made from creamy white Canadian Cedar and recycled sports gear. You can get the piece online for $350.

There’s just no limit to the accessories out there for log cabin owners. Of course, you have to be into the rustic wilderness-saluting items to dig something like this Black Bear Lodge toilet bowl cleaner and brush holder. It’s certainly not for everyone. It is, however, a way to hide a toilet brush in plain sight.

The brush holder is disguised as a cute little bear that is holding its nose and hugging a tree stump. It’s designed to make scrubbing the potty more “bearable” (I swear I stole that joke from the product description…. it’s not mine. Really…).

The bear brush is available from Amazon for $22:

What rustic log home would be complete without rustic knick-knacks? Here’s one that is actually functional. This Western-style napkin holder can adorn your table where everybody can grab a wipe when they need one, or it could sit on your desk in your home office as a letter organizer. (That’s what the folks over at AJ Treasures say anyway…. I don’t know, does anyone actually get letters any more in this e-mail age?)

Regardless, the die-cut-metal, stag-and-tree holder only costs $4.50, so it’s one rustic accessory that won’t break the bank.
