Like our Facebook page!The landscape of communication has changed dramatically.  Not so many years ago, people had only a few options for talking to friends and family.  They could either pick up a telephone…one that was connected to the wall in the house…and dial a number, send a letter through the mail, or engage the other person in a face-to-face dialogue.  These days the possibilities are endless.  Nowadays the home phone has been replaced by cell phones.  I hardly remember life without them.  Email is a very popular and convenient form of communication, replacing snail mail letters.  And now, social media has become a highly popular means of sending and receiving messages.

The phrase “social media” encompasses many different outlets, but the most well-known is Facebook.  Originally developed as a means for students to swap information, it has since developed into a worldwide communication phenomenon.  Young and old have personal Facebook pages where they post status updates, showcase photos and videos, play games, and track posts from friends and chosen entities.  Facebook for business has also transcended many traditional ways of advertising.

Even primitive log furniture can be social in the modern world.  JHE’s Log Furniture Place has joined the social media movement.  If you become a fan by “liking” the page, you can receive exclusive content and special promotions.  JHE’s will provide updates and interesting information that you can only receive on your Facebook news feed.  Photos of furniture in progress are posted in albums on JHE’s Log Furniture Place wall.  A wealth of useful tips and tidbits can be found.  If you have a Facebook account, become a fan of JHE’s today!

Invitation to a Garden Party

Rustic Natural Cedar Deluxe Garden Double Glider, Model #805

What can be more enjoyable this time of year than the beauty of new spring blooms? After a long, bleak winter the bright and cheery colors of blossoms can bring quite a smile to our face. It’s a sure sign that summer is on its way and we can put the coats and sweaters away in the back corner of our closet, not to emerge until the autumn winds blow again.

Spring is a celebration. It’s like new life, every year. Baby animals are born, trees bud, grass greens, and flowers bloom. Like any celebration, we want to mark it with a party. A garden party is the perfect way to ring in the season. There is nothing like sharing a warm, sunny spring day in the midst of spring blooms with your best friends.

The Garden Double Glider by Cedar Looks is like a party in one package. With comfortable seating for four and a removable center table, it is perfect for a garden tea party. It even comes complete with a top canopy to shield you from the sun, if you so desire. Set in the midst your garden, with an arbor full of clematis blooms in the background and some planter boxes full of pansies nearby, along with a vase of freshly cut tulips on the center table, your friends will be completely impressed while they take in the scenery.

This spring, throw a garden party for your friends. Whether it’s to reminisce or to welcome the spring blooms in your flowerbed, there will be no better time spent with your loved ones. Think of how relaxing it will be, gliding away the day while chatting and sipping beverages. You will want to sit and celebrate until summer comes sliding in!

Catch Ya on the Flip Side

North Woods Log Poker & Dining Table, Model # NWPKR

Who doesn’t love a fun little dinner party with friends and family? A gathering to enjoy food, drink, and camaraderie can really warm up a winter evening or cool down a hot summer night. The party doesn’t even have to be large; another couple or two is the perfect size for fitting around your dinner table and for plenty of laughs and conversation.

But after dinner is over, the table is cleared, and the dishes are stashed away in the dishwasher, what is next on the agenda? It’s likely too early at that point to call it a night. Wouldn’t it be perfect if you could transform that same dinner table into an entertainment center, the centerpiece for friends and family game night? With the North Woods Log Poker Table or the Texas Holdem Table, that is exactly what you can do. Dinner party and poker game, all at the same table! No one even has to leave their seat…except to clean up after dinner, that is.

The Log Poker & Dining Table is an octagonal shape that has stations for up to eight poker players. You may not want to crowd that many in for dinner, though. Folks don’t take too kindly to having to throw elbows and fight for table space when they’re cutting into their steak dinner. However, all bets are off later when a rousing game of poker takes your guests late into the night, perhaps even the wee hours of the morning.

If you wish to host slightly larger dinner parties, you should instead consider the North Woods Texas Holdem Table. Not only does its rectangular shape hold more guests comfortably with both knife and fork and hand of poker cards, but its cedar top lends an aromatic and unique character to your dinner and game party. Perhaps the scent of cedar will even work to soothe the savage beasts that can emerge after a hand or two of Texas Holdem.

No longer does your dinner party have to suffer from the after-dessert blues. With a two-sided log dinner and game table from JHE’s Log Furniture Place, it’s easy to plan an entire night of entertainment. Just tell your guests to enjoy dinner and then you’ll catch ‘em on the flip side!

Cookin’ It Up Cabin Style

Wednesday, December 22nd, 2010

North Woods Custom Kitchen Cabinets, Model # NWCKC

During the holiday celebrations at this time of the year, there is likely one consistent factor: eating. Whether we gather with friends or family, coworkers or clients, conversation usually occurs along with a meal. Since the holidays are a time filled with spending time with loved ones, we frequently hold parties and prepare meals in anticipation of providing plenty of food for our visitors.

Holiday parties invite visitors into many different rooms of the house. There may be a log bar in an area of the home where libations are served to guests, or an inviting seating area in the living room where partygoers settle in to chat around an expansive log coffee table covered with festive treats. At some point during the course of the party, most of the guests take a turn chatting it up in the kitchen, perhaps taking a seat on a log stool pulled up to the island or leaning on the counter.

In order to prepare the feast for your party and to store all of the serving dishes and utensils needed for the food, you must have plenty of cabinet and counter space. Custom log cabinets can be ordered in an appropriate style and design for your cabin décor. If your home already has an established kitchen but needs more cabinet room and serving space, consider adding a log island in the middle of the kitchen.

An efficiently designed kitchen is a necessity all times of the year. During the holidays, your cabin kitchen becomes the center of your party’s attention. Be sure that you are cookin’ up the goodies in a kitchen that is both spacious and stylish. Happy holidays!

Wine Not Logs?

Monday, October 25th, 2010

Montana Log Wine Cabinet, Model # MWWR, MWWR-V

When one speaks of wine country, usually we think of the lush Napa Valley in California or fields of grapes in the country of France. Even Hollywood engages this mentality, as a certain movie made a few years ago focused on happenings in the wine country of California. But in reality, wine is made in many different areas of the world. In the United States, some type of wine production is conducted all of the fifty states.

Wine is a hobby that is shared by many. Some love to make it, while some love to drink it. The science of wine is very interesting. I know from my limited experience that one recipe made from the same type of grapes from the same location with the same ingredients may have a completely different taste from year to year. Weather and exposure have a large influence on the quality of the wine.

In Virginia (as in many other areas), small wineries abound all across the state. It is a common practice for couples, families with visitors in town, or groups of friends to plan a weekend outing visiting the wineries. Folks choose three or four destinations and travel around to them throughout the course of the day, sampling wine and touring the facilities and fields. Much fun is had by all. Many times, visitors to the wineries purchase bottles of their favorites to take back home and add to their own wine collection.

Entire parties are sometimes centered on wine and its complements. Food and wine are paired together for afternoons and evenings filled with flavor and conversation. Wine collections are on display for visitors and cherished bottles are opened and savored. What better way to display your collection than with a rustic log wine cabinet? It highlights your taste for things natural and rustic, much like the wine that it holds. Some of your most favorite bottles, or perhaps the more decorative labels, can be displayed more noticeably in a counter top wine rack. After all, why go digging through an entire cabinet when you can have bottles readily accessible at counter height? Perhaps you can fill it with your treasures from a recent winery trip, recreating the fun and laughs you had while enjoying the day.

Wine isn’t just for the snobbish or wealthy. All of us can enjoy learning about, sampling, tasting, and drinking the good stuff made from grapes. It doesn’t matter how you choose to store and display it, but if you like rustic décor, wine not a log cabinet?
