The Cabin becomes "The Lodge"

Mr. Bechtel and I went to inspect the cabin today.  Whoa!  It became a lodge while I was in England.  Without feminine influence heavy beams were stained rugged walnut colors, rough cut stones were installed around the fireplace - with a mantle that should support at least 2,000 pounds.  Mr. Bechtel is crazy about it.  He said something like, "this is what my taste was like before we got married..."  I was not reassured by this comment.  But the longer we stayed there the more I liked it and decided it just needed a few area rugs, soft pictures, and throw pillows.This is the loft - my favorite area.  I can imagine grabbing a book from the bookcase at the top of stairs and settling in for a lovely afternoon. 

 I can't resist showing a few of the things I decorated the bookcase with:
Uggh, this is a horrid picture of the bookcase.  It was just in it's "beginning stages".  However, I must point out Grant's checker board, Dad's old coffee pot, my red candle,  and Braeburn's old stripey canoe paddle.  I am confident the canoe paddle is going to be what sells this place!

And look!  We are on the cover!  I love the computer generated grass in front of "The Lodge".  In reality, it is a big mud pit with old wood scattered around.  Don't we love computers?

Let me know if you want to buy this attractive, affordable cabin.  I'm accepting offers.
