Comments (3)Virgil Carter Fine Art - thank you, and yes! I need that arbor or trellis over the garage doors. I'm adding that to my list. Naf_Naf - thank you! I think I do like a richer tone like what you linked to. That house overall is beautiful. The only thing I didn't love about it was that there are many different colors of wood--rich red outside, light colored wood floors, etc. That being said, if I had the shower from that house, I'd probably be so happy I wouldn't notice the different wood stains....See MoreFront elevation for farmhouse?
Comments (61)The Sawyer will cost less to build than some of the other plans due to the simplicity of the framing and the roof even though it's less square footage. So, you would be getting those extra 300 square feet as bonus space. You do have to keep in mind that this house will be located in northern Louisiana. Traditional design is common. Contemporary very unusual. The area is an interesting blend of Acadian, Spanish and American rambler influence. That's why you see the arched windows in the first plan. I like the Sawyer. I am familiar with some of Versaci's designs. I lived in the next town from him. I've appraised homes all over the area and some of his inspiration homes. This is real farmhouse rather than faux farmhouse. A lot of the original structures feature a stone wing or stone center. Some of them have a log wing. Allison Ramsey is also designing historic homes with a more modern twist. I get a little crossed-eyed looking at her website because there are so many homes. Her designs are worth consideration....See MoreNeed help choosing exterior for Farmhouse in Arkansas
Comments (28)I spent at least a month every summer when I was a child, at my grandmother's house in NW Arkansas. No brick or stone farmhouses - all clapboard and all quite simple. It was a poor area - poor soil, poor everything. No one had money for frills. One place stone was used was for small houses/cottages, in particular ones on Mt Sequoia in Fayetteville. They were really kind of ugly but with time, the remaining few have some charm. Just remember that much of Arkansas has that dry, red clay soil that stains everything. Using stone as a foundation row will help keep rust splatters off your clapboard. But keep it there, not all over, and no brick unless you just want a brick house....See MoreI need ideas for this room. I’ve been trying to go farmhouse but I’ve
Comments (13)Pleasant looking room. Liking all the natural light potential. You might consider wood or faux wood vertical blinds for the window wall. Would add more wood vibe to the room and offer more options for light and privacy control . https://www.blindster.com/vertical-blinds/faux-wood-vertical-blinds/ Plants give a farmhouse vibe. You'd have more room for plants if your loveseat were not backed up to the window -- not just plant shelf/stand sitting on the floor but brackets with hanging baskets of the plants you really like that will get enough sunlight from your windows. Having your loveseats facing one another set at each long end of the rug with only a table and lamp between the one side and the exterior wall would be worth trying ... setting the front feet of the loveseats on the edge of the rug. If you draw, to scale, on graph paper the size/shape of the room with all its fixed features (windows, doors, fireplace, etc.) indicated, you can draw and cut out the size/shape of the furnishings you have and and see what works without moving the actual furniture. Taller thinner wood or metal post table lamps with medium/large white shades could help lighten the room ... and have a less formal vibe than the ones you are now using. An "industrial" style could work....See MoreRelated Professionals
