My house at Christmas

[Tess]

I was talking earlier about having to do Christmas at my house every year because its a log home. Here are a few pics of my great room. They are a couple years old but its basically the same every year. I love to decorate for the season

gorgeous...very warm...did you guys build it.

 

[Tess]

Yes. It was our dream home. What we always wanted. Now that we are in it and getting older (55) I can see why people move into condo's when they get older lol

Looks like a picture postcard. Beautiful.

Beautiful! Also, the photos are well taken (composition & lighting).

Is their extra work/maintenance due to the fact you own a log home?

Its a full time Job inside and outside. Windows constantly need cleaned. The out side needs to be stained every so many years or it will turn gray. Who gonna do it in 15 years. I can barley keep up now. Not meaning to sound ungrateful.
Just realizing its not a home I wanna take car of when Im old.
The view and property are amazing. I cant see leaving it.
I enjoy the outside more then cleaning the inside. lol
Im all good with giving the house to my boy in a few years and propping a tent on this hill lol. I do love fixing it up for Christmas though.

Wow! Is that a landscape painting or a photo processed to give that effect?
