Honest Abe Living, July 2021
The Taylor Home
Tammy and Sam Taylor wanted a home that reflected their lives together, showcased their interests and welcomed their blended family – especially the grandchildren. So, after retiring from Texas to Tennessee, they worked with Honest Abe Log Homes to create a modern verison of a traditional log cabin with dovetailed, chinked square logs reminiscent of those built by the early pioneers to Tammy’s native Tennessee.
