There was a time when European settlers, immigrants to America first arrived at the new land and the very first thing they needed to do was to build houses where their families could live in. They actually built homes from the natural rich woods which required very less resources like trees, an axe or a saw, which they called log cabins. Today's log cabins are very different from the early cabins and decorating them with simple natural materials would surely bring that rustic ambiance of the traditional log cabins back. It was in the 1600s when first log cabins were built in America by the immigrants from Sweden and Finland, and there are very few original log cabins that exist till now.
