Montana Marvel

The architect, Don Briggs of Hamilton Montana and this client have carefully thought out every detail of this beautiful home which overlooks a sparkling river. This spectacular and inviting log house has a number of details from the bear claw inlaid at the entry floor, the hand carved door and continuing throughout. Clearly, this couple takes pleasure in the natural beauty of their environment. The octagonal kitchen features an 11" high trout stream scene which runs below the windows on three walls.

You see from the perspective of the fish, complete with details such as a fisherman's boots and lures. In the stove area, it is hard to say what steals the show. Is it the 5" tall pine tree that surrounds the left-side of the hood, towering upward toward the soaring eagle? The high relief bear and cub that are eye to eye with you as you cook? Or maybe, it is the moose couple that occupy the right right side of the panel. The large branches that the bull moose is peeking out from are carried on to the front edge of the hood. It might be the unexpected baby eaglet nest on the top beam. Who knows? All we know is that it was worth the trip to Montana to see it installed and to finally meet both the architect and the client. We hope you enjoy it as well.
