IDEAS :) Update Bay Window and help make 2-story 60s into NE FarmHouse
Comments (1)What you didnt address here is what you would like to do with the bay window, and what you are going to do about the brickwork that will be missing if you make it smaller....See MoreHelp! Modern Farmhouse... something's off with exterior
Comments (18)Thank you for the feedback. This is a rebuild. The reason the house looks as it does is that we asked the architect to give it more presence/mass. We are replacing a rancher with what felt like another rancher, and felt underwhelmed. Here is a rendering. The siding and the stucco are the same beige (since white is not allowed), and the stone picks up the beige with some grays and darker browns. Those pillars make me see giraffe legs!...See MorePlease help me with my new American/Modern Farmhouse?
Comments (7)"Modern Farmhouse" is a marketing term, not at architectural class. It's supposed to evoke nostalgia for a "simpler time". So, if this plan does that for you, it's a modern farmhouse. With regards to colours and finishes, yes some combination of those colours would likely be fine for that house. And yes, fewer finishes are generally speaking a better choice than multiple finishes. Simple is beautiful. But more important than "the pretty" is the function. Does this house work for you? Have you tried adding furniture to the plan diagram? Did you think about where you would walk and what you'd need to go around to bring groceries in and put them away? Or do laundry? Or make dinner without swearing? If your home is truly functional, it will be easy to make beautiful. If it's not functional, all the pretty finishes won't make you like living there....See MoreHalf Bath Help: Contemporary to Modern Farmhouse
Comments (11)I like the two shelves. I think three would be too many. I would put those back, and then I think you could just switch out the mirror to one with barn wood frame or similar, and you would about have the farmhouse look. Use another porcelain pitcher to add either flowers, or a nice plant instead of the box of Kleenex :) And if you look at it, you have the dark tones in your dining room as well, so I think the vanity fits fine :)...See Moresprtphntc7a
