A patched together lifestyle of thrift and charm...

A Barn House...

This weekend I did a local Christmas House Tour with my sister.  
Fun!  The highlight of the tour was this barn...

 Believe it or not... it has been completely redone 
to be a house - a double house at that!  

This young man's family lives in one half of the barn... 
(That's a cement countertop.  But I loved the backsplash... 
a simple product from Lowe's and not metal at all!)
...then you walk through a doorway and enter
 his twin brother's family's space...
 
 ...a close-up of the corner screen door pantry...
My photos are so far beneath the grandeur of this place I hesitate to post them... 

But they'll give you a glimpse...


The brothers are graphic designers for some big names like Coca Cola, Evian water  and the NBA.
This is their office space which sits in the center of the barn between the two living quarters.
        

 
 The cow was an animal they had befriended at a former workplace. 
When she died of natural causes - they brought her home...
 The grounds of this barn property was filled with great buildings.
  The original mansion house is now used for events and parties...

 The spring house with one of several old cars
 on display here and there...
This cute cottage sits across from the barn. 
 And they actually have a few animals...
Have you ever been in a barn that was converted 
into a house?   I was just blown away!
