And now for something completely different...

Notice anything different about the cover of Timber Home Living's December issue? We've completely redesigned it to bring you the content you love in a format that's sleek, efficient and modern — much like a timber home itself.

Inside, you'll still find the features and departments you've come to expect, and you'll still get the same great content in each issue. In this one, you'll find:

- a product guide to help you find the perfect sofa and coffee table for your living space

- an artist profile on a Maine chairmaker who has overcome significant challenges to continue the craft he loves

- insight into a small town on Florida's Gulf Coast that may work as a perfect retirement getaway

- tips on incorporating decorative grasses into your landscape to add year-round visual interest

- a shopping guide for creative lighting concepts to decorate your timber home for the holidays

- design ideas for creating an effective, and attractive, upper level for your timber home

- expert advice on how to appropriately and efficiently regulate environmental settings for an unoccupied timber home

- three beautiful home tours decorated for the holidays (including this 2,650-square-foot stunner from Montana)

- useful information to help you design the right stone fireplace for your new home

- decor tips for adding natural beauty to your timber home

- information on dozens of floor plans and timber framers to help get your dream off the ground

- and much more!

Give the new design a try — we think you'll like what you see. It's available in the Log & Timber Home Bookstore for just $5.99.
