Writer builds backyard mountain cottage as personal space

As top cities become pricey and competitive, smaller yet vibrant cities attract those in search of more than work. Crissie McMullan decided to raise her family in Missoula. There she keeps a backyard cabin as work refuge. Crissie McMullan and her husband Jeremy Smith wanted more space for their Missoula home. The couple lives with their daughter and college-student niece and often have out-of-town guests. Plus, Smith works from home and Mcmullan was planning to take a year off work to write a novel. To make extra room for guests and a writing retreat, they hired local designer Charles Finn to craft them a cabin out of recycled and reclaimed materials.
