Love of country: a barn-style Ohio home

A new timber frame home in Ohio blends a couple’s affection for barn-style design, primitive antiques and laid-back country living.

Natural matches

The three-story white barn sits on a lush meadow that was once a sheep farm. Fieldstone salvaged from an Ohio barn and white fiber-cement siding create a modern barn exterior. A weather vane on the cupola pays homage to the property’s former farm life.

Inside, white walls and unfinished beams form a natural canvas for a collection of folk art and 18th- and 19th-century antiques.

The owners, who’ve known each other since seventh grade and dated since high school, have that made-for-each-other glow as they affectionately share stories about their childhood together, Ed’s adventures in the 1970s as a crew chief with the Blue Angels (the Navy’s exhibition flight team) and recent moments playing with grandkids in their dream home.
