Hello!
I’m Tracy Svendsen—an interior designer and editor of Canadian Log Homes. My goal is to share beautifully curated home decorating ideas rooted in timeless design principles and inspired by modern rustic, farmhouse, and mountain living.
I began studying interior design at Montana State University and earned my degree from Ryerson University. I later became a partner in a handcrafted log home company, where I provided interior design services for over 20 years—helping clients create warm, livable homes that reflect natural materials and architectural character.
Today, I live in a coastal community, but my work continues to blend rustic textures with relaxed, layered interiors. This blog reflects my passion for curated spaces, thoughtful details, and approachable design. Feature image photo credit: Photographer: Haris Kenjar, Interior Design: Sean Anderson
