When disaster struck, plans to convert this Montana vacation retreat to a fulltime residence were put on fast forward, but resulted in a stunning, modern interpretation of log home living.
When Brian and Julie Hanson purchased their log home in Flathead Valley, Montana, they knew they eventually wanted to bring the 1990's 2,400-square-foot home into the 21st century. However, their remodeling timeline was sped up when a burst pipe caused flooding that went undetected for more than 10 days.
“We were living in Atlanta and got the call on New Year’s Eve of 2014 that a foot of water had been sitting in the home for almost two weeks,” explains Julie. Their unplanned trip to assess the damage confirmed it; plans to rework the vacation home’s layout to suit a full-time residence would now be a much bigger (and higher priority) project.
They contacted Les Bernabi of Ciao Interiors to help them with the remodel and extensive water damage. He would manage the renovation onsite while the Hansons were still living in Atlanta, visiting only periodically.
