Modern Farmhouse Inspiration

It's a conspiracy.
Everywhere you turn is another
interior design reference to barns.
Don't you love how rustic wood
properly paired and contrasted with
pristine millwork and walls
feels earthy and alive?
The access to the loft (above)
in this NY apartment is
pure genius as the ladder
also serves the bookcases!
In our latest DIY project
(finished lower level)
we incorporated sliding
barn doors for architectural interest.
I'll post pics soon!

Frank Greenwald (Ina Garten's barn)
If you spotted Ina Garten's
East Hampton barn
in House Beautiful,
you may have noticed she
swapped the harvest table
for an elegant skirted round.
The kitchen island is a mere 18 feet--
can you imagine?

Omg, I love Ina's patio.
Elle Decor (Meg Ryan's home)
Meg Ryan's "barn-ish" home
was recently renovated
on Martha's Vineyard.
It has a
more California vibe
and appears to have required
an ocean of white paint!
Meg's kitchen is intriquing
with its greenhouse feel.
I can't help but think:
ALL THE WINDOWS--
streaks and smudges
visible from both sides
(perhaps the housekeeper
is pondering the same thing).

Even the tracks for the doors are gorgeous.

I wasn't born in a barn but now I kinda wish I had been, ya know?
Peace to you right where you are.

I also love homes inspired by barns or restored barns.... maybe I was a horse (to not say cow) before this life! lol But, seriously... isn't it so beautiful, charming and full of personality? I love all the pictures you've found but Ina's house is just "OMG"!

PS: I was laughing with your comment about not using too much grout for the bathroom for the 2 boys.... I totally get it! lol
I love old barns. Great inspiration.
