I have created this post in order to feature the work of Pioneer Log Homes, located in Williams Lake, British Columbia. They primarily use Western Red Cedar for their logs. Few trees exhibit the natural character of Western Red Cedar. They love taking advantage of especially beautiful logs, highlighting gorgeous buttressing or unique burls in their design. That’s part of the charm of a log home, after all: the individual grains and contours of the wood create an utterly unique environment and summon the living, breathing forest that provided the building material in the first place.

Hello and welcome! I’m Tracy Svendsen - an interior designer and the editor for Canadian Log Homes and Buyer Select.

My goal is to connect readers to the latest and most beautiful trends in farmhouse and rustic home design.

Having grown up in the country, I’ve always had an interest in rustic interiors. I studied design at Montana State and Ryerson University and later became a partner in a handcrafted log home company. Although I now live in a charming residential community by the ocean, my home still reflects my love for the modern rustic approach to design.

When I’m not working on my business, I love hiking with my German Shepherd Rose, working out and travelling. I also love visiting with my kids when they come home. My daughter is a doctor and is working towards becoming a surgeon, and my son is a civil engineer who until recently was living in New Zealand. I hope you enjoy going through my posts, and please let me know if you have any suggestions on future posts you’d like to see!
