Photo by Greg Page Studios When Tom and Sue Jellison first bought land in Three Rivers, Mich., Tom
had a simple plan, you might even say a “manly” plan: Build a log cabin
and outfit it with a fireplace, bar, loft, and bunk beds. Period. Sue,
Tom’s wife, had a vision for a log home, one that included nice
amenities. “Yes, I wanted heat with running water!” Sue says
with a smile. “I also envisioned bedrooms upstairs with bathrooms. I
just wanted to make sure it felt more like a home than a hunting lodge.”
Ultimately, the couple installed granite countertops and pine
cabinets, as well as several crafted features, such as the copper sink
basins and intricate wood carvings. She also wanted to outfit the entire
cabin with log furniture, including headboards, dressers, nightstands,
tables and chairs, stools, end tables, lamp stands, flower vases, and
more. In the end, the two minds came together on a
plan. “We wanted to make the cabin unique and rustic but also
comfortable and inviting,” says Tom. |
