\"I

I love-love-LOVE this Cumberland, Maine post and beam carriage barn!<\/p><\/div>\n

1.\u00a0 The Classic Little Red Barn<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just like the Little Black Dress, the Little Red Barn never <\/em>goes out of style.<\/p>\n

It doesn’t fall victim to fads and trends.\u00a0 It doesn’t scream and shout for attention.\u00a0 But never mistake the eye-grabbing beauty of the simple, classic Little Red Barn.<\/p>\n

Topped\u00a0off with the perfectly proportioned cupola, the result is as timeless and chic as can be.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"The

The unfinished wallboard of this coastal New England post and beam barn just gets better with age<\/p><\/div>\n

2.\u00a0 Dare to go bare with weathered barn board<\/strong><\/p>\n

I understand how a love for design and details can lead us to want to adorn our homes and barns with everything we can imagine – the shutters, the cupola, the weathervane, the richly colored paint or stain…<\/p>\n

However, just like your mother (or grandmother) advised – when you get all dressed up,\u00a0take off one accessory before leaving the house.<\/p>\n

Although it can be difficult to resist the temptation of over adorning ourselves and our homes, this bare wall board barn embodies Mom and grandma’s all\u00a0important lesson that often times less is more.<\/p>\n

\"With

With the cupola placed to evoke the feel of a church steeple, this stylish barn demands your worship<\/p><\/div>\n

3.\u00a0 An earthly example of divine design<\/strong><\/p>\n

This post and beam barn in Grantham, New Hampshire is an architectural marriage made in heaven.<\/p>\n

The off-center cupola of this post and beam barn mimics the steeple of a church, successfully blending historic New Englanders’ two favorite structures\u00a0 – the church and the barn.<\/p>\n

Never doubt\u00a0the impact of small design details.\u00a0\u00a0Have faith in their power and divine design will appear before you.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"This

This 5-story barn quietly blends into the background<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. The Gentle Giant<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whoever would believe that a barn a million miles long, 5 stories tall and topped with 3 cupolas could ever be called unassuming?<\/p>\n

Weathered siding and muted red roofing keep this New England post and beam as likeable as your shy, quiet next door neighbor.<\/p>\n

This behemoth demonstrates the importance of balance.\u00a0 Calming colors and sparse adornments lend modesty to a building so large that it could easily look as ostentatious and overdone as your other <\/em>neighbor – the loud, obnoxious\u00a0one that grates your nerves.<\/p>\n

\"Prim,

Prim, prissy and PERFECT!<\/p><\/div>\n

5.\u00a0 Prissy perfection we can’t help but love<\/strong><\/p>\n

This Vermont post and beam is like that woman who can wear a white coat in winter and never pick up a speck of dirt.<\/p>\n

Gleaming and shining amidst the crud of winter, this barn pulls off clean\u00a0perfection while the rest of us walk around encased in a road salt crust for 3 months.<\/p>\n

You want to hate it for making you feel like\u00a0dirty slush\u00a0in comparison but you just can’t.\u00a0 It’s too pretty, too prim, too…perfect.\u00a0 You know, everything\u00a0we wish we were\u00a0(sigh<\/em>).[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”vc_default” full_width=”stretch_row” content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1613579162596{background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}” min_height=”300px”][vc_column][vc_widget_sidebar sidebar_id=”sidebar_3″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
