People not only love the look of a log house, but the strength and security they offer are priceless. Another reason log homes and cabins are admired is that they are a sustainable housing option, because of the fact that they are made from renewable and natural materials. It is usually required that the logs which will be used in log house building projects are obtained from sustainable tree plantations. Another reason logs are so sustainable is because they are able to retain heat when the weather is cold outside, so we don't have to use as much energy to heat our houses which keeps the carbon footprint low. So it's really no wonder why this home and others are a great option. If you love this, be sure to check out the builder's website at: http://www.naturallogcabins.com/ HYGGE HOUZE | 2

Mobile Living
The Nugget is a cute old camper that got a much needed remodel. Now it looks great and yet still has a lot of character of its own. It's so wonderful to see something old get a facelift, bringing it back to life once again. So often we just see vehicles and trailers go to salvage yards where they ultimately rust away. Thankfully, that's not what happened with The Nugget, an older camper that Mandi from Vintage Revivals bought and remodelled herself. Buying something that would otherwise be sitting in a salvage yard or garbage dump, or rusting away in somebody's yard is not only a fun project, doing this also helps to keep waste down. Plus, it can also help you save a lot of money in comparison to buying a new camper. Plus, these vintage trailers have so much character and charm, it's hard to resist them. Mandi called her sweet vintage camper The Nugget. HYGGE HOUZE | 19

The Muffin Mansion Camper
There have never been so many different types of tiny house and small house spaces than there are today, with each tiny house being a unique reflection of both the owner and the people who built it. This tiny vintage camper called the Muffin Mansion might just be the most colourful and bright tiny house space we've seen yet. HYGGE HOUZE | 21
Remodelling one of these vintage campers is a great way to bring these charming campers back to life and to save some money on having to buy a new trailer. If you're not completely gutting the trailer it would be wise to have a professional inspect it for you before you buy one, if possible. This could save you a lot of money on getting repairs if that's not in your budget. This is a great project that could be a lot of fun to work on and could even make for a great kids playhouse in the backyard.

Truck Transformed Into Amazing Solar Powered Off Grid Home Dreaming of tiny homes and mobile campers? Want to live off the grid and still be mobile? Well, check out what Joseph Tayyar created. Tayyar saw a show on TV about small homes and since he had some carpentry experience under his belt, he decided to build and create a tiny house of his own using his skills. So after years of work and dedication, his small dream house was completed. The 50-year-old Israeli animator transformed his 11.5-meter (38-foot) truck into an amazing solar powered off-grid home. It’s got so much class, you’d never know you were in a truck. Well-placed windows and light-coloured, wood-lined walls make it warm and bright and it appears to have tons of room. The design is a space-savers dream too. The walls are well-insulated to keep you warm in cooler climes, or cool in warmer ones, and there are two bunks, one ingeniously nestled in an upper loft area where you’d never find it unless you were looking.
HYGGE HOUZE | 23
There’s a dining area and lots of sitting room throughout; there’s a work area where the computer can be hidden away yet easily accessed, and a large bathroom as well. All of the woodwork in this mobile home is incredible, and the attention to detail is spot on. There's even a kitchen in this mobile truck home, which has an apartment sized fridge.
There's also the bathroom close to the kitchen which has a shower, toilet and sink in it with even more storage built-in. It's so important to have good storage in a smaller space and it really makes a bit different if you can organize all of your stuff neatly. It just makes the entire space feel more put together and clean. Plus, you'll always know where everything is too, which is nice.

Soulful Places Steelhead Falls, Oregon

Oregon is so majestic and versatile State. It has unbelievably fresh, crisp air, an ocean, breathtaking mountains, forests, even the desert. Hardly any place can be distinguished, because all of them carry particular magic. Anyway, we will start with the hidden gem - Steelhead Falls. Steelhead Falls are located near Terrebonne, Oregon. Nested between Deschutes below and rocky pinnacles above, the Steelhead Falls Trail follows the water downstream. Along the trail are tranquil swimming and picnic areas, magical High Desert canyon walls, amazing birds and falls. HYGGE HOUZE | 25

This innovative suction cup planter helps you grow a garden right in your window. The fun planter is an excellent idea for wherever you live, whether it's in an apartment, townhouse or full-sized house to bring a little life and colour into your home. The Livi planters were first © RJ Lauer launched on Kickstarter by Designer Hooman Koliji. The designer Koliji and his team raised funds for the production of the Livi’s through their Kickstarter campaign to get the ball rolling on this great invention. Once people saw them, they were hooked and wanted to have some of their very own window planters.
HYGGE HOUZE | 28
The sticky planters can be attached to any vertical surface though, even a wall or you can start a garden on your refrigerator depending on the lighting and the type of plant you are growing. This means you don't need shelves or a large window ledge to grow plants on.Â
 The nanotechnology-based suction cups on the planters don't leave any residue behind when you remove the planter, so says the company, and they can be stuck and repeatedly unstuck without losing their bonding powers. Great for renters and subletters. These little planters come in a variety of colours and are the perfect addition to any home. HYGGE HOUZE | 29
Pergolas look beautiful covered in a thick cover of plant life. Â For example, a great idea is to use a pergola over an outdoor hot tub, which is a great idea for when its raining or snowing and you still want to enjoy sitting in your hot tub without getting rained or snowed on. There's also the idea of a pergola built on a preexisting deck or patio showing that it can be a great addition to add some privacy and some shade to your backyard area.
