Embracing Timeless Elegance: Wood Homes Lead the Way in Future Home Design
There’s no need to rely on crystal balls for a peek into the future; it’s already unfolding. Tucked beneath expansive log ceilings and illuminated by the inviting radiance of natural wood, log and timber homes stand as trailblazers, leading the way for trends that have now become mainstream in 2024.
In a world where trends come and go, log and timber homes remain a beacon of enduring elegance, beckoning others to join the journey into a future where home design is both timeless and forward-thinking.

Nutella Star Bread

The Pattersons’ Southern Grace
Southern Grace, the log home of an entrepreneurial young couple in rural Tennessee, is both Southern and gracious yet definitely not a typical farmhouse. Homeowners Nick and April Patteson challenged Honest Abe’s multi-award-winning designer Michael Hix to design the floor plan using their own rough sketches. Hix designed a 4,924-square-foot house with 21 rooms on three floors, which April characterizes as “Southern plantation meets industrial elegance.”
We host log raisings, open houses and other special events throughout the year. You are always welcome to attend these free events!
