The 1800s Converted Barn House, a.k.a. Barn Conversion. Design and Renderings, by The DPS Design. This is an old American style barn, located in Vermont, U.S.A., converted into a home, using all barnwood and reclaimed lumber from the barn and from local farms.

Today, barn conversions or rustic farm houses typically have modern interiors, but this home is different; it retains an old 1800s American style interior design feel. The rustic, converted barn house / barn conversion kitchen – fully equipped with a bar and two traditional iron stoves in addition to a dining room wood stove for heating the 2.5 floor house.

A cozy living room / fireplace area that is spacious and incorporates historic American/Victorian style furniture with rustic wood and stone. 

The ground floor of this wooden rustic farm house design has an open floor plan, with a traditional american staircase to the mezzanine floor above.

This converted barn / barn conversion house has an old school kitchen and dining area, which are designed based on early American kitchens, using antique furniture and repurposed barn lumber. The giant stove and oven also serve the purpose of heating the entire house in addition to the smaller wood stove.

The old oak wood beams have been restored and left in place, giving this large open floor the feeling of being inside the original barn.

The middle barn door, now a french door, is designated the ‘front door’ which leads to a grass yard and driveway, while other barn doors have been replaced by windows or kept as doors or immovable doors. 

The 2nd floor mezzanine of this large rustic barn house is comprised of a reading corner, a small library, a music room, and a bedroom with an open bathroom. Every room is clad in reclaimed oak or pine barnwood lumber.

The first floor bathroom is done with all wood-clad walls, and has a clawfoot tub and elevated tank toilet, along with an elegant washbasin cabinet in the style of the victorian sofa furniture adjacent in the living room.

The third floor mezzanine / loft area is a spacious office space with a large window which looks over the forest below, and has two wooden desks and a small pipe-shelf library, in addition to the library just below.
