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…

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 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…

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, 20101 Comment

A timber frame barn home is unique in that its interior is all about the frame (those gorgeous posts and beams), therefore showing it off is a must. But it’s not the only part of a barn home that should make a statement. The exterior is the first impression your home will make and it should be…

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…
