Synopsis

This remarkable book will show readers how to transform a home of any style into a relaxed, cabin-like refuge. Although rustic, natural images and accessories predominate, cabin-style homes can be created in many themes, depending on your idea of a perfect retreat -- seashore cottage or mountain hunting lodge, north woods hiking cabin or bayou fishing camp. But what all cabin-style homes have in common is their ability to create a sanctuary from the busy world of cell phones and appointment books, workday commutes, and committee meetings. A cabin-style home is a place where the pace of life seems calmer, where peacefulness comes before punctuality, where evening card games are more common than cable TV.

In addition to hundreds of idea photos, this book includes nearly thirty ingenious but simple-to-build projects to help create the cabin-like feeling of peace and freedom in any residence.

About this title

Synopsis

In an increasingly busy, industrial world, the themes and images of the natural landscape have never been more important to our spiritual and emotional well being. For people with the means and opportunity, getting away from it all now means retreating to a rustic, out-of-the-way cabin to recharge the inner batteries-an escape from glass and concrete and plastic into a world where one can enjoy forest foliage, open skies, and clear running waters. Now, it's possible to create this kind of retreat in your primary residence, using the textures, colours and images from the world of nature. This remarkable book will show readers how to transform a home of any style into a relaxed, cabin-like refuge. Although rustic, natural images and accessories predominate, cabin-style homes can be created in many themes, depending on your idea of a perfect retreat. But what all cabin-style homes have in common is their ability to create a sanctuary from the busy world of cell phones and appointment books, workday commutes, and committee meetings.

In addition to hundreds of idea photos, this book includes nearly thirty ingenious but simple-to-build projects to help create the cabin-like feeling of peace and freedom in any residence.
