I wanted to write a little about the design and the vision of the house. As a designer, it’s difficult to commit to a design for myself. For this reason alone, I do not have a tattoo. I’ve changed my MPrint Studios logo many times over my 16 years in business (I’m in the process of updating it again- stay tuned). And when it comes to home decor… there are so many different styles that I love, the question is, what can I live with for a really long time (because we probably won’t be moving for a while!). One style that I’ve always dreamed of having is a white farmhouse, and honestly, that was the only style that I could envision this home turning into. Plus, it plays into our illusion that we are indeed on a farm. It’s kind of an in-thing right now, I know, but I think it’s also timeless.
So traditional farmhouse style… visualize front porch, white siding, black trim, grid windows and dark gray roof (I wanted all metal, but we are only using the metal on the porch roof as an accent). Inside, the design will also be rustic, industrial, and vintage farmhouse. I’ll share all of the finishes for each room as we get farther along. It’s been six long months of pinning and web searches– I’m SO ready to shop!
See the plans for our elevations below.
