Modern Barn House
I found this Modern Barn House in an old idea folder today ~ it’s a tear out from a June 2007 House & Garden Magazine. I love collecting images of Barn Houses, and this minimalist take on a Tobacco Barn is the perfect combination of rustic and clean.
Poplar siding slats were spaced an inch apart to mimic the look of the old tobacco barns. We have a lot of Tobacco Barns here in Weston MO and this house is a lovely homage to those historical structures.
There are so many things about this space that I love, from the concrete floors to the barnwood walls. The pops of color keep it from getting heavy, and the industrial lights keep the space from getting too serious. {I’m not sure where these lights came from but our friends at Barn Light Electric Company could certainly fill the need for these in any home or business.}
The architect, Garrett Finney, also kept things light by painting a white band around the living room using metallic paint. Magnetic letters attach to the white band and allow the home owners to keep things personalized and appropriate for the season, mood or house guests.
Simple * Clean * Rustic * Vibrant
The perfect approach to a Modern Barn House.
