A farmhouse style home is a great choice for those wanting to capture the beauty and charm of life in the northern Midwest. This style of home is cozy and homey and a great way to experience a traditional, everyday living experience. From its coziness to its rustic charm, this style of home is sure to bring the beauty and nostalgia of the north to any home.
If you're looking for a unique and vibrant way to breathe life into an old rural area, then consider restoring those timeworn farmhouse barns and other buildings! Not only did people in years past build with excellent craftsmanship and solid construction, but with some modern upgrades, these aged buildings can become functional and beautiful parts of modern landscapes. So take a note out of Amy Matthew's book and dig out those old postcards and start dreaming about restoring your own farmstead!
Hartman Homes invites you to follow along on the progress of the construction!
