And the other half of the downstairs were stalls just waiting for a menagerie of animals. Today, I will show you our 123 year old farm barn tour before photos so you can dream of all the potential with me. Come on in!

After days weeks months of research and final installation, I am thrilled with the result. In this post, I will share all I’ve learned in our authentic farmhouse renovation how I chose new windows.
