Many log home and log cabin owners choose mission-style lighting for homes. There are many lighting websites out there. I came across TheBrightSpot.com . Their site contains indoor and outdoor lighting in Mission and other styles. I like their selection. Nice work.

Have you ever want to make your own log furniture? It’s fun to do. I created my first log bed out of standing dead aspens that I gathered from the Foothills near Denver. I hand selected each log. I brought back more logs than I needed but that’s normal. Then came the sanding, making the tenons, making the cuts and fitting everything together. It was a great weekend project.
I took a look at Rustic Log Originals’ website – www.rusticlogoriginals.com. They created and sell a DVD titled “Design and Craft your own Rustic Log Bed”.
The DVD covers:
• Selecting the right trees
• Removing the bark
• Making the cuts
• Mortise and tenon joints
• Creating & assembling the headboard, foot board and attaching side rails
• Applying a finish to the logs
When you go to their site, there is a video sample on the main page. The video quality looks great so I imagine that their DVD has the same quality.
If you decide to build your own log bed, you’ll enjoy creating it and you can take a nap after it’s complete!
