Interested in seeing a two-storey cordwood home? Keweenaw County of Michigan boasts this beauty. There is also a Bottle Wall in the shape of the Chakras (energy centers in the body) and one with seashells and apple trees. One of the owners is a therapist and uses the bottle wall to explain the process of healing.
Many folks have told me this is one of their favorite cordwood home pictures.
The bathroom has seashells and blue-green bottles embedded in the mortar.
The Chakra Wall allows folks to see where their energy centers are located.
The main entrance has huge logs and tiny little marbles and stones.
The apple tree motif was “set” when they found a bunch of green and yellow glass bottles!
