apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I want that dining room table!!

although it's styled differently and of a different period, certain aspects of this home remind me of a home i posted about a few months ago - a "modern barn" by architect william dohe and styled and decorated by jeffrey bilhuber.

you might enjoy taking a look if you like this style:

It's a nice house, but couldn't they have just built a new house and left the 1860s one for someone who would appreciate it for what it was?

its great.

I agree with Maria- in any other context I would really enjoy this remodel, but the inside of this house now looks pretty much like any other dime-a-dozen loft spaces and midcentury redos. The rustic touches are quite nice, but overall it seems like such a waste to destroy that much history to make the place so bland, rather than preserving a rare space.

this is close to my dream house.Love this kind of architecture

The existing house at the start of this project had been neglected for years. A series of unfinished 'projects' had left many of the walls stripped of plaster exposing the raw framing. What was there in terms of kitchen and bathroom were neglected and barely functioning remnants of a bad 70's effort. The house was almost condemned at one point. So we either had to rebuild new to look like the old original or try to infuse some modernity into the old. Obviously we did the later.
