This residential interior design project was special because it was an opportunity for Joanne to combine some lovely modern elements, with local product. This modern farmhouse style lake house is filled with light and big contemporary windows. Working with the homeowner on the layout of the space, lighting, finishes, fixtures and furnishings, allowed Joanne and the homeowners to create a space that was not only comfortable but beautiful.
Private Client
This unique private vacation home started out as a 1800’s post and beam barn that someone had turned into a hunting cabin in the turn of the century. When the owners’ bought it — it was seriously run down and not touched since the 60’s.
When working with the owners, it was important to understand why this old barn cabin was so special to them. Once we understood what the property meant to them and how they wanted to feel when they arrived, every design decision, always came back to that. A space that was once so dark but had so much charm in the structure, was really brought to life by allowing the post and beam to shine.
We wanted to hold onto the history of the space while making more modern and inviting. The addition of many large modern-style windows to bring the outside in, and the comfortable furnishings, such as leather club chairs, high back dining chairs, warm rug, and textile touches, gives barn cottage a modern farmhouse look.
The mix of old and new, with modern design elements and sense of openness, has really embraced the charm and history of this once old barn— turned cabin — turned vacation home.
