As the first of three parts, the Barn Renovation was the most unique project of the three. The goal was to utilize the barn, which dates back three generations in the family, as a new art studio emphasizing relaxation and artistic inspiration. Several things in the original barn were used in design of the studio, including the original wall supports, beams, foundation and the most interesting piece, the hay bale fork and trolley system – which still works!

What a treat it was to work with the Buzzells on their whole house remodel. This third-generation farm, barn and cottage were all renovated and turned in to the perfect sanctuary for respite and artistic inspiration.
