Default Round 3- Barkworth Family
The Barkworth Family - Mike and Meadow Barkworth both love the outdoors. They've always dreamed out having a beautiful log cabin home they can come back to after a long day of hiking and insect collecting. They would love for their house to be a traditional pine cabin, with a gorgeous fireplace in the living room. The bathroom(s) should be simple and in-keeping with the style of the house, and Meadow loves the idea of flowers, home-made quilts and decorations all throughout the house.


Rustic and remote this cabin was the place the Barkworth's were looking for. With the kids finally all out of the house they wanted to retire early and adapt to their new home while they were still young. Although their golden years may be just around the corner they are looking forward to spending their time together in the great outdoors they both love. There was also room enough for them to take their daughter's elderly cat, Fanny, with them since she couldn't have it in the dorm.



Second floor:


First floor: With large decks both at the front and back of the house they get to spend a large amount of time outdoors.


The kitchen is simple but does include a few modern conveniences, mostly because Meadow put her foot down and demanded a dishwasher.


With a large fireplace to keep them warm during the coldest months the living room is very cozy and just right for two.


A small simple bathroom is located directly off of their upstairs bedroom. Indoor plumbing was another modern amenity Meadow was adamant about having.


Their bedroom is spacious and airy.


Best of all they can both participate in one of their favorite pastimes right in their own backyard.
