Elk Antlers Log
Elk Antlers Log
Inspired to Accessorize
My husband and I have been blessed with being able to live in a log home in the foothills of Colorado for the last three and a half years. I often come across articles of people searching for the perfect log home accessories to compliment the beautiful woodsy interiors of their log homes.
We like so many otheres, have done the never ending search for the perfect accessories to compliment our log home. We’ve spent countless hours searching the internet, home accessory stores, furniture stores and antique shops. The biggest challenge we faced, was lighting for our home. My husband and I wanted something that would reflect our interests and keep with the log look and feel of our home. On more than one occasion, we purchased a light fixture, took it home and hung it up, only to discover that it just wasn’t right. So, it was carefully placed back into the original box (this is no easy task), and returned to the store. After several weeks of disappointment and on the verge of giving up completely, we came to the conclusion that we had two choices, keep looking for the perfect light fixture, or create our own.
We chose the second option. My husband and I designed and built a chandelier using aspen logs and elk antlers. It was the most magnificent thing I had ever seen. This chandelier was so incredibly perfect for our log home. Installing this gorgeous piece of art at the highest peak in our great room took a bit of effort, but the results were awesome.
As a result of this gratifying experience, I reluctantly quit my job in town, and now spend my days working with aspen and pine logs. I am now creating beautiful one-of-a-kind table lamps, floor lamps and chandeliers. I have added a few other accessories to my collection, including handcrafted lampshades and adorable aspen log reindeer for the holidays, but I focus mainly on log lighting. My son worked weeks building a website for me, so that I would have a place to display my work. I am very excited about my newly found occupation, and am looking forward to creating many more pieces of art that will find their way into homes everywhere.
My husband still teases me when he gets home from work at the end of the day. I’ll be covered in saw dust from head to toe, smudges on my face, and eager to show him my newest creations. With a big grin, and a bit of humor in his voice, he wittingly remarks, “not bad for a girl”.
