There were several brown outbuildings where the new garage stands… The largest consisted of a dog kennel on the far end, a sculpting studio, an apartment and a two car garage. Next to that stood a chicken coup and another two car garage. There was alot of wood rot and no historical significance, as the building was constructed approximately 40-50 years go, and the decision was made to take it down instead of trying to patch it up. We didn’t need that kind of extra space, either… (less is more! )
What we have now is similar in look and in the same place as the old brown barn building, consisting of a small gym at the back, workshop for Mike’s “stuff” in the middle (this workshop has a rear entrance from the road) and three bay garage at the front, entered from the main driveway.
It was a cluster of buildings originally…
Pared down to just one…
It's beautiful Karen! Some MAN CAVE! Bet your husband thinks it's awesome!!
Love that multi-purpose building! Genius on the part of the planner.

…very nice and well thought out…it is beautiful! xoxo
Your barn is much nicer and twice the size of my house. Can I live there?
I caught that comment you left at Deborah's. You sly devil, you. Hubs and I discussed it when we went to eat. I think we just might be wearing him down a little bit. Thanks!
Looks very similar and what a great space. I wonder how many people will be confused about whether that is how it always looked or if its been redone… hope you are settling in and enjoying the fruits of your hard work.
Oh, I so envy you being far out there away from noise and traffic!

What a wonderful way to acknowledge what was there, and update it for your own purposes. I'll bet the town is thrilled!!
