I realized while being at my parents house for the holidays, I've never put together a page for their house. Why put together a page for their house? It's rather unique. When I graduated high school and went off to college, my parents and sister moved to Nashville, TN. There they bought a log cabin made of old wood from various sources. The majority of which was a house in Springfield, TN. The house itself was only eight years old. The materials used to construct it, who knows? 


These first few shots are outside shots. The above shot being the front of the house and this one being the back. You can see the front is
more cabin like. 


Here's a shot from the side. 


Since moving there, my father has built this smaller one-room cabin in the yard.  The logs came from another house torn down elsewhere in
TN.


Here's a shot of the pool they had installed in the backyard.


 
This is the porch on the side of the house. You'll notice there's lots of authentic "pieces." My mother is a bit of an antique dealer, so the
house is richly decorated.  


A shot of the door on the side porch. Apparently the wood used for the door came out of the floor of an old factory in downtown Nashville.
When the sun shines on the door and heats it up, oil leaks out of the bottom of it.


And here's the front porch and door.


There is a slight order to these pictures. I'm going to try not to get too carried away in describing their positions and yours in relation to
the house. This is the foyer. The closed door is the front door. The open doorway leads to my parents bedroom (it's on the first floor). The
space or shelf where you see the white jugs is open to the upstairs loft/hallway.


Turning clockwise, you turn past my parents bedroom door to the opposite side of the foyer from the front door.
