The
idea of behind rustic furniture was to create interesting pieces
using natural materials such as twigs and logs that would blend
into a decor and not stand out . Rustic furniture makers today
follow the age old tradition of using natural materials to create
spectacular furniture and rustic decor pieces. Rustic furniture
usually has no set line or angles. Each piece is individually
crafted .
Once you have a log home with rustic elements you will want to
continue that element with the furniture and decorations.
Finding beautiful log furniture, stairs and railings, and other
pieces that will complement your beautiful log home is easier
than you might think. Log furniture is naturally beautiful. You
can see all of the character and wood grain of the logs used in
every piece of wood furniture. Log furniture made with timbers,
twigs and branches brings nature right into your home or cabin.
From custom crafted twig furniture, stairs and railings to antler
chandeliers, your unique rustic look is just a few clicks away.
Here you will find a wealth of information about Adirondack log
cabin homes, log home floor plans, financing for log homes, construction
tips on log homes, Adirondack custom log homes, log home photographs,
and much, much more!

Adirondack
History & its Museums The history of the Adirondacks has been shaped and influenced
by many powerful forces. Logging, mining, farming, tourism and
even medicine have all played a major role in the development
of the region. In the early 1800's, towns like St. Regis, Paul
Smiths and Old Forge sprang up taking advantage of the vast timber
resources and iron ore deposits. In the central Adirondacks, pioneers
cleared the large tracts of land for farming creating the first
settlements. And beginning in the late nineteenth century, the
Adirondacks became a popular destination for the rich and famous.
Known as the "Gilded Age", this period is famous for the construction
of huge rustic compounds called Great Camps. We invite you to
learn more about the history of the Adirondacks by visiting the
many museums and historic sites. click
