Although homes planned and designed by A-1 Barna Log Homes and built by Chestatee Custom Contractors have been featured in several national magazines, we had never been featured on television. So we were very excited when Designing Spaces contacted us to be featured in one of their episodes.
All of the video footage took place in homes that were planned and designed by A-1 Barna Log Homes and built by Chestatee Custom Contractors, a general contracting business located in Dahlonega, GA owned by Jef Welch who is also the owner of A-1 Barna Log Homes. The episode features Darlene Branim the owner and President of Barna Log Homes in Oneida,TN.
The homes for the shoot were located in various parts of North Georgia, mostly in Dahlonega. The homes included the Edenfield's log home, the Albertson's log home, and the Johnson's log home. Jef Welch's personal home, which is under contstruction, was also featured during the construction portion of the show. This episode really exonerates the craftsmanship of a log home and shows that rustic elegant desing is not just for the country.
Did you know a log home could look like this? Jef and Pat Welch, owners of A-1 Barna Log Homes in North Georgia, start every log home project with the intent of that log home being in a magazine when completed. That goal was most recently realized when their personal log home located in Lumpkin Co, GA was featured on the July 2007 cover of Country's Best Log Homes. The article, titled Built to Perfection, resonates with the passion and expertise that goes into every A-1 Barna Log Home.
