Today’s Barn Home: Post. Beam. Dream.

Barn HomesBy Holly OstranderDecember 27, 20103 Comments

There’s a common misconception out there which goes something like this: “Barn homes are either old barns converted into new living spaces, or new structures built to resemble a rehabbed barn.” While both may be true, these two concepts are but two of the endless ways a “barn home” is interpreted in today’s architectural vernacular.…

The Post & Beam Farmhouse: An American Classic

Barn HomesBy Holly OstranderOctober 16, 20104 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…

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 Style Home Rocks The French Provincial Style

Barn HomesBy Holly OstranderApril 20, 20102 Comments

I’m admittedly a fan of all things French so it won’t come as much of a surprise that the post & beam home featured here is one of my personal favorites. It’s actually two post & beam structures built at different times as the family and their home grew. No matter, the look of relaxed elegance…

4 Essential Elements That Define “Barn-Home Style”

Barn HomesBy Holly OstranderFebruary 4, 201011 Comments

Recently, I was talking to an acquaintenance about building a barn-style home and she asked, “What exactly is barn-style?  Does it mean converting a barn into a house?” This question started me thinking about how best to describe barn-style.  Converting an old barn into a house definitely affords the home a barn-style look, but you don’t need to begin with an…

A Post and Beam Barn Home In New England

Barn HomesBy Holly OstranderNovember 30, 20093 Comments

I have to admit, when I first heard I was going to be involved in a photo shoot for a new barn home filled with all kinds of technological wizardry, I wasn’t overly excited as technology is not my thing.          However upon meeting the home owners (two PhDs in mathematics who…

Whenever it nears the holidays, thoughts turn to fond memories of the season. “Over the river and through the woods” brings on a whole new meaning when the house at the end of the journey is a gorgeous salt-box post and beam barn home.
