Interior Barn-Style Design
I am hard pressed to tell by this picture whether this barn was converted or built specifically as a residence.
This gorgeous barn home happens to be the brand new residence of famous chef Ina Garten, better known to many as The Barefoot Contessa.
While the above picture of Ms Garten’s home at first looks like no cow barn I’ve ever seen, if you squint your eyes while imagining the fireplace and doorways gone, suddenly it’s not so hard to see this might have once been a barn; admittedly a barn with great bones, but still a barn.
Again, who's to say if this is a converted barn or new construction done beautifully in the barn-style vernacular. Either way, it is stunning!
In my opinion, the picture above says it all (and correctly, I might add). Who cares if this is an old barn or a new one; it’s flipping fantastic. I LOVE the way the polished cement floor (scored on the diagonal) is juxtaposed with the rustic post and beam structure and that fabulous field stone fireplace!!!!
Speaking of great fireplaces, here's one in a barn home I happen to know is new; but again, who cares? It's great!
In closing, no pun intended, I’ll end with a picture of a new barn home with pitch-perfect interiors and my favorite barn feature: the sliding barn door!
No text necessary, this picture says it all!
