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.

Untouched since 1972: an interior designer’s guilt Untouched since 1972: an interior designer’s guilt-free remodeling dream.
Designer Noz Nozawa and her husband found this Kings Beach cabin in North Lake Tahoe in 2017. Over the next six years they gut-renovated every room (though if you ask Noz, it’s never really finished), building their own take on nostalgic, cozy Old Tahoe charm.
Which room are you claiming first? Comment below 👇

Everyday luxury isn’t saved for special occasions. Everyday luxury isn’t saved for special occasions. It’s a porch swing at golden hour, sunlight across a marble floor, a dining room you’d actually want to linger in.
A look inside a home that’s elevated without ever feeling off-limits: brass-detailed kitchen, a glass-walled lounge, and a lacquered dining room with a wine wall.

Drapes or no drapes? 👀 One room, two very differe Drapes or no drapes? 👀
One room, two very different feelings.
Without the drapes, the space feels bright, open, and minimal. Add the drapes, and suddenly there’s more softness, warmth, and texture.
This was one of the details we loved playing with in the COCOCOZY Design House. Sometimes a simple window treatment can completely change the feeling of a room.
Which would you choose for this space: WITH DRAPES or WITHOUT? Tell us below. 🤍
