It's the attention to the multiplicity of detail that separates mediocrity from perfection.
New "OLD" Barn - We designed and built this barn to resemble a classic New England barn. Complete with authentic custom sliding doors and transom window. We reduced the scale of the barn by 25% to fit the site's smaller footprint but keep the proportions accurate. The main barn is only 24' x 30'. Attached shop is 14' x 24'. Many people have asked how old the barn was and when it was renovated. They thought it was circa 1884!!

Newly renovated bathroom. A custom shower replaced the old circa 1941 bath tub. Carrara marble seat adds comfort with the ease of cleaning. Traditional marble basket weave floor tiles added a timeless look along with the new console sink and polished nickel fixtures by Perrin & Rowe.
Starting with brand NEW material bought from the lumber yard, we reproduced the mantle, beam, flooring, paneling and doors using real antique hand planes and applied special dyes and finishing techniques so that the room would have a very realistic feeling of an 18th century home. We even built the windsor chair and clock! The andirons are from on old building in Aurora Maine. The upholstered chair is from Johnston Benchworks.
Smaller restoration water struck brick from Morin Brick Co. were used for the fireplace. Built by the late Gerry Drake master mason.
