Timber Frame Homes

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…

Post and Beam Living In Quebec – Part II

Styling & DecoratingBy Holly OstranderNovember 23, 2009

As stated in my earlier post, I found many examples of how the post and beam structure and the timber frame were and are used in and around the walled city of old Quebec. Instead of writing on and on, I’m going to let the pictures speak for themselves. I hope you enjoy the photos…

I’m back from Quebec City. Wow! First, let me say should you ever get the chance to visit this wonderful city, do not pass it up; you will be well rewarded. There is literally something for everyone there. Art and culture abounds and if you’re one for the night-life, this city fits the bill.  Though…

Post and Beam: The European Influence

Styling & DecoratingBy Holly OstranderNovember 15, 20092 Comments

For the next few days, I’m off to the great city of Quebec for a “wor-cation”; my made up term for combining work and fun. I’ll be staying in my dream hotel, Le Chateau Frontenac, taking in as much as possible; particularly the fantastic architecture of both the hotel and the city. It’s going to be rough, but…

The Post and Beam as an Icon: Holidays in Connecticut

Barn HomesBy Holly OstranderNovember 10, 2009

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. This salt-box style post and beam was specifically built to fit…

Interior Paint Colors for the Timber Frame Home – Part 2

Styling & DecoratingBy Holly OstranderOctober 28, 20092 Comments

As promised in my post on October 13th, this post will recommend paint colors to use in post and beam bedrooms and baths. As always, the main consideration when choosing color for a timber frame home is to accentuate and compliment the architectural structure. But not to worry as it’s not rocket science. If it’s…

Rustic Elegance in a Barn Home Addition

AdditionsBy Holly OstranderOctober 24, 20091 Comment

Actually, this addition to an 18th century cape came about in a very unusual way. Normally one finds or has the old cape first then adds on; not so in this case. These homeowners were house hunting in New England when their realtor showed them a gorgeous timber frame home. They were captivated but came…

A Post & Beam Provides Rustic Refinement

Barn HomesBy Holly OstranderOctober 1, 2009

The design plan for this timber frame vacation home was not complex. It needed to be suitable for large family gatherings of the owners  children and grandchildren while fitting in with the landscape; a gorgeous site located on a back field of an old farm that sloped down to a lake. Traditional barn designs inspired…

The Riches of Southeast Asia Influence a Timber Frame Home

Styling & DecoratingBy Holly OstranderSeptember 27, 20092 Comments

While her husband was stationed in Southeast Asia as an Army Officer, this interior designer took the opportunity to soak up the culture which so interested her and ultimately influenced her design style. The vibrant jewel-like colors, the rich tones of the woods, and the vivid iridescent silks all played a prominent role when the…

What to do when you have a wonderful location, a beautiful site with a home you love and a well established business reputation but no available space for that home-based photography business? The completed photography studio added on to this Connecticut home. Well, if you’re this New England home owner, you take inspiration from the…

Adirondack Camp: The Timber Frame Goes Mountain Rustic

Mountain HomesBy Holly OstranderSeptember 16, 2009

The wonderful thing about a timber frame home is its chameleon-like capability for nearly infinite interpretations. That being said, one of the most natural designs for post and beam is the true ‘Adirondack Camp’ as it typifies rustic while maintaining a high degree of style and comfort. This recently built Adirondack camp sits on lake’s…

A Kitchen Design Dilemma Becomes A Work of Art

Post & Beam HomesBy Holly OstranderSeptember 7, 20091 Comment

I was recently involved in a major remodel of a large kitchen which incorporated a Viking cook-top with a built-in down draft system. We had great plans for the back splash area. It was going to be a very chic tile I’d seen in one of my favorite magazines, Veranda, and become the focal point…
