Southern Rustic Cabin

In the cool, wooded mountains of the American South, each log cabin has a rich history and a unique personality. Thirteen homeowners across the South took on the challenge of preserving the age-old qualities of their cabins while renovating, revitalizing, and redecorating these treasures to support modern living and reflect their personal styles. Emily Followill's stunning photography shows every cozy corner of the homes, located in Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina, Alabama and Virginia. The writing tells the story of how each cabin and owner came together; as the owners changed their cabins, the cabins invariably changed the owners as well. Emily J. Followill began an adventure in photography twenty years ago. Since her early years studying her art, her style has been concise, crisp, and classic. She tells a story with beautiful, balanced photographs and a natural quality of light. From residential interiors to gardens, product to lifestyle, Emily demonstrates a passion and an eye for simple beauty in the most complex settings. Her work is recognized in national and international publications, including Veranda, Better Homes and Gardens, Traditional Home, Atlanta Homes and Lifestyles, Garden and Gun, Southern Living, and many others. As an Atlanta native, Emily continues to enjoy everything about the South. She and her husband love raising their two children in Atlanta, and they continue to pass down the traditions handed to them by their families. Lisa Frederick, an Atlanta native, spent several years as an editor for Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles magazine before making the leap to national magazines such as Better Homes and Gardens and Southern Accents. Her editorial specialties include shelter and lifestyle as well as travel and food. She lives in Birmingham, Alabama.
