Architects of late have taken a liking to converting barns and farmhouses, breathing new life into them as homes. The result is most often impeccably cool and worthy of the coveted spot on a design-magazine cover.
But even those of us who aren’t in the market for a converted barn can enjoy the look, as this “farmhouse modern” style is spilling over into interior design. With a barn light here, a salvaged beam there, and perhaps a farmhouse table over there, you can master that renovated-barn look no matter where you live.
