previous home property in
Atlanta have been treated and
used to appear as structural
beams and as accents. The
craftsmen from Matthews also
took some walnut cut from the
couple’s property, planed and
sanded it smooth, trimmed it
in barked saplings, and gave it
a durable clear-coat finish. It
serves as a stunning focal point
in the kitchen.
Carolyn Gaston said her
husband had a vision when
the couple bought the home
about 14 years ago, but she
didn’t see it back then. It was
just an ordinary house with
a nice view. They added the
beautiful log cabin look to the
exterior a few years later. The
interior work just began in
November. And now, with the
interior nearly completed, she
is so thrilled, she says she has
to pinch herself every day to
believe where they are living.
Gaston had nothing but praises
for the quality of work done by
the Matthews company. She
said that working with Brad and
his crew has been wonderful.
They brought ideas that fit just
what she and her husband had
in mind for a country living
feel.
Gaston loves the innovative
crisscross pattern Matthews
created for the doors so much
that they decided to carry the
motif throughout the home.
All the doors — from kitchen,
to storage, to cubbyholes, to
the sturdy-looking double-
hung closet doors that mimic
barn doors on a track, and
the standard doorway doors
between rooms — carry
through the country feel.
The home’s interior now
matches its exterior appearance:
a natural beauty full of charm.
If you are looking for ideas, you
can do an Internet search for log
cabin or A-frame homes. But it
is always wise to work with a
local contractor.
