A Timber Frame Home Goes Cottage Bungalow

Post & Beam HomesBy Holly OstranderNovember 9, 2010Leave a comment

When I first heard about this post and beam home being built in northern New England, I though “hmm…a timber frame bungalow, how’s that going to work?” Turns out, it works great !  The idea that timber frame homes have to be large or “barn-like” is a total myth. They can be whatever size you…

Styling & DecoratingBy Holly OstranderOctober 27, 2010Leave a comment

The loft area of a barn home is one of those great spaces which can be used for many different purposes.

The space is airy yet private; perfect for whatever room suits your home and lifestyle.…

The Post & Beam Farmhouse: An American Classic

Barn HomesBy Holly OstranderOctober 16, 20107 Comments

“The more things change, the more they stay the same” or “Charity (and comfort) begins at home”. Okay, I added the “and comfort” part, but you probably know where this post is headed. Life today is hectic; we operate in over-drive much of the time. As many of us look for a calm and soothing…

Post & Beam Kitchens Go Glam

Post & Beam HomesBy Holly OstranderAugust 25, 20101 Comment

Say “good-bye” to the post and beam kitchen of old; a room tucked away in the back of the house meant for food preparation. Today’s kitchens are the hub of family activity; they provide not only the function of utility but more importantly,the place family meets in the morning before heading out the door and…

Barn HomesBy Holly OstranderAugust 19, 20102 Comments

Yes, I mean WOW!! I was at the first photo shoot of this Yankee Barn Homes barn home in the Catskill Mountains several years ago. I thought it was amazing then. Little did I know what was about to be added to the back yard. The homeowner, an amazing woman with a picture-perfect eye for…

A Barn Home Redecorated: “Before” and “After” Pictures

Styling & DecoratingBy Holly OstranderJuly 23, 20106 Comments

Not long ago I was involved with the interior redecorating project of a post & beam home. It was all about aesthetics as the structure itself was totally sound.  Post & beam to a decorator is what a blank canvas is to a painter: the end product is limited only by the imagination. Any style…

Fantastic Exterior Paint Color Combinations For A Barn Home

Styling & DecoratingBy Holly OstranderMay 26, 20102 Comments
