Living the Post and Beam Dream: The Summer Of 2010 Part I

YBH LifestyleBy Holly OstranderApril 30, 20122 Comments

My first blog entry for Post and Beam Living was titled: Building the Post and Beam Dream.  Nearly four years into living in our Yankee Barn Homes carriage house, the dream has not lessened one bit. For my husband and me – a pair of empty nesters – living in such a beautiful structure has…

Post and Beam Living Suggests: Landscape Ideas For The Timber Frame Home

YBH LifestyleBy Holly OstranderApril 21, 2011

As spring nears and the snow is finally melting here in northern New England, I find myself gazing out the window at our tea house. What is it about a separate “room” unto itself sitting in the middle of a woodland garden that beckons? Gee…I wonder!      First, let me begin by showing you…

The gardens that extend three-quarters of the way around our carriage house were put in just a month ago; therefore, they have yet to fill out. However, watching the space go from barren to lush overnight was amazing. Should you ever feel you’d like to make a dramatic change to the look of your grounds,…

My Carriage House Gardens: The Zen Garden

Post & Beam HomesBy Holly OstranderJune 19, 20094 Comments

As promised, or threatened depending on how you look at it, I’m going to write a series of posts about the beautiful gardens and grounds surrounding our new timber frame carriage house. Please allow me to give you a little background history about our home site. The property belonged to my husband when we met…

How Does Your Garden Grow?

Outdoor Living SpacesBy Holly OstranderMay 8, 20092 Comments

The following post was written by my garden designer Terri Wilcox, owner of Terri Wilcox Garden Design in Wilmot, NH. She is the master mind behind all of our gardens, including the fabulous Zen Garden. Terri is an extremely talented landscaper but more importantly to me, she is a good friend. I will feature her…
