Hi, I&#8217;m Jeff, a Midwest-based contributing writer\/photographer for Houzz, living in the Great Lakes region, photographing people, places and things. I admire well-designed architecture and interior spaces. I believe a house doesn&#8217;t need to look like it came out of a catalog to be beautiful. Instead, it should be an expression of the people who live there and the things they love, displayed in a way that is aesthetically pleasing.<br \/>\nHouzz Contributor.

It&#8217;s just often a fact when the space is all wood; the interior tends to be moody. That&#8217;s what Sam Wotring and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nicoleray.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Nicole Ray<\/a> were expecting before they stepped inside this 1920s log cabin on a quiet lake near Ann Arbor, Michigan. Boy, were they wrong.<br \/>\nBecause a previous homeowner used a superlight gray paint to cover every log surface inside the house, including the vaulted wood-plank ceiling, the space is far from dark. &#8220;We were so surprised by how light and airy it was inside, so quaint and charming,&#8221; Ray says. Meanwhile, bright colors and original artwork &#8211; Ray is an illustrator and artist &#8211; further lighten the space, as do vintage chandeliers that hang in every room.<br \/>\nHouzz at a GlanceWho lives here: Sam Wotring and Nicole RayLocation: Brighton, MichiganSize: About 1,600 square feet; 2 bedrooms, 1&#189; baths<br \/>\nWhat are you working on?<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.houzz.com\/discussions\/521509\/Kitchen-redesign-before-and-after\" rel=\"nofollow\"> <\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.houzz.com\/discussions\/521231\/Oversized--awkward-main-bathroom--NEED-HELP---\" rel=\"nofollow\"> <\/a><br \/>\nView over a million photos:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.houzz.com\/ideabooks\/11487077\/list\/My-Houzz--A-Surprisingly-Light-Lakeside-Log-Cabin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Continue reading&#8230;.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My Houzz: A Surprisingly Light Lakeside Log Cabin (22 photos) Houzz Contributor.
