SEE THIS HOUSE: BARN RAISING STYLE!

November 21, 2011

Foyer in a repurposed barn home with capiz shell globe pendant light, striped rug, tufted leather bench, two white arm chairs facing a window

Okay…is it weird that I love a great repurposed barn?  I just do.  I’ve been featuring a lot of transformed barns lately for no apparent reason except that I’m totally drawn to them.  Hmmmm…

Anyhoooo…love this Canadian barn that was moved Connecticut and then remodeled into a fantastic living space.  An imported barn where modern meets rustic and does so beautifully.  I think I love the high ceilings in most of these barns…or maybe it is just the rough hewn touches that I find so appealing.  Take a look!

Living room with hide rug, club chairs, fireplace with a steel mantel and flagstone chimney and a bench with a light brown cushion and matching accent pillows
A hide rug and sleek club chairs make for a perfect sitting area in front of the main living room’s fireplace with its steel mantel and flagstone chimney. (above)
Rustic dining room in a converted barn with wood floors, flagstone fireplace, long wood table, and simple chandelier
Kitchen with wide plank wood floors, exposed beam ceiling,zinc counter tops, marble mosaic backsplash in Shaker style kitchen
Wide plank wood floors and exposed beam ceilings nicely contrast with the modern zinc counter tops and the marble mosaic backsplash in the home’s stylish Shaker style kitchen. (above)
Master bathroom with modern stand alone tub, stone floors, exposed beams and reclaimed wood cabinets and drawers
Bedroom with woven rocking chairs, canopy bed, open shelving with baskets, reclaimed wood floors and matching ceiling and exposed beams
The woven rocking chairs and the canopy bed all hint to a simple Shaker style that is seen throughout the home. Love the open shelving with baskets too. (above)
Guest house with large picture windows, neutral sofa, wood coffee table, and leather chairs
The guest house is bright, light and airy! (above)

So the question is…would you take this barn house or leave it?  I would take take take!

Happy Monday!

    Lovely, but a little over-renovated for my taste. I would have left more original, rustic features….

    I’ll take it in a flash. My house is a former stable, but lacking the soaring ceiling. Would move in any day.

    I love this style, and am glad that you’re drawn to so much rusticity lately too. The first photo has long been a favorite of mine, but I’ve never seen the rest of the house. Great post!

    Thank you Coco. This is the best yet.
    Indescribably real, authentic and beautiful. You can actually see a much bigger sense of the Love.
    I’m saving this one.

    If I won the lottery, I would totally buy an old barn and make it a home. I love old barns! So much character.

    I have always loved a transformed barn; the open space, the rustic qualities, the repurposing of something old. . . It’s just all-around awesome! And this one is particularly gorgeous. Total dream home.

Behind-the-scenes: Fun work trip to visit the COCOBehind-the-scenes: Fun work trip to visit the COCOCOZY bedding collection at the Welspun showroom in New York. Met with some buyers, had a fun time with the Welspun team, then capped off the weekend with a visit with friends. It is a long process to get bedding in stores across the country...showing the collections at textiles market is one of the first steps!
If you're interested in learning how I have gotten @cococozy products into stores around the country over the years including in major retailers...follow along...just one entrepreneur's journey. :)

Today is my birthday but...I don’t want to celeb Today is my birthday but...I don’t want to celebrate...I want to help.
I want to make a meaningful impact in our greater Los Angeles community suffering from the fires. I invite you to join me in transforming birthday wishes into support for one local organization on the ground in Pasadena/Altadena.
I have made a contribution today already to the LA Fire Relief Fund created by @victorybiblechurch in Pasadena. They are actively assisting families in need in both Pasadena and Altadena who have been affected by the devastating Eaton Fire.
Although I don't have a personal connection to Pastor DeCuir or the church, I was searching for an organization that is helping in the Altadena area. A well respected civil rights attorney I follow @leemerrittesq is on the ground helping the church members and community members with legal services in the wake of the fires. I hope by contributing to their efforts, we can extend a helping hand to those facing significant challenges during this difficult time
To donate, please visit their website at https://vbcpasadena.org/ (link in bio as well). Every contribution, no matter the size, brings hope and relief to those who need it most. Tell them you heard about them from me.
Your generosity to the Los Angeles community is the best birthday gift I could ask for.

Happy New Year! 🎉✨ As we step into this freshHappy New Year! 🎉✨ As we step into this fresh chapter, I’m reminded of the beauty of starting anew and I like recommitting to goals at the top of the year. Nothing set in stone but just an overall vision of what I'd like to do and who I would hope to help along the way.
This year, my mantra is: **dream big, act boldly, treasure the small joys, continue to lead with kindness and to have as much empathy as possible for others **. Just a few things...😂
I’m also deeply committed to helping people who follow along to achieve their dreams. I'll be curating captivating interior design inspiration with COCOCOZY that will hopefully give you ideas and dreams for your own space. I will also be empowering you to realize the value of your influence with Chirpyest by earning cash back for sharing and shopping. I hope to be open about the journey of the COCOCOZY product line. I want to share real time behind the scenes how the line is being built and how we are growing Chirpyest; both examples of the not so linear journey of building businesses from the ground up. I hope these stories spark you to push your own boundaries and shake out of your comfort zones.
Lastly, in 2025, I’m committed to surrounding myself with people who have a positive vibe about them while striving to be that same light for others. Luckily, I have a great start on this with an amazing family and fantastic group of friends - a fantastic support network.
My wish for you in 2025: May this year bring you clarity, courage, and the confidence to pursue all that makes you happy.
What’s one thing you’re committing to in 2025? Let’s inspire each other in the comments! 💬❤️
Let's get to this...am ready 2025!
