The great thing about a log home is that the wood is very friendly to light. It is easy to make a warm and inviting atmosphere using lighting. I have been surrounded by artists my entire life and although I am no artist I have an appreciation for the importance of art in life. With lighting I have tried to add my small part. And, of course, it should all be part of the home automation system. This post just contains photos of the fun parts of the lighting system.
