While you don’t hear so much about it in some circles lately, we at Yankee Barn Homes understand many people are still concerned with the effects on the environment when building and occupying a new home; they want to be ” living green”. Therefore, we would like to explain how and why we are a [...]

Post & Beam Living Inspirations
Every once in awhile I come across a new post and beam home or barn that has a certain something. It can be as small as a cupola or as all-encompassing as the structure itself. Whenever I make these discoveries, I place the picture in an “Inspirations” folder. Every now and again, I go through [...]

More Classic Hamptons-Style Architecture To Inspire
There is no place like The Hamptons. Others are just as nice, but they are not the same. While it’s a given this place has some of the best shingle style architecture, there are other architectural styles, such as 20th Century Dutch Colonial and great barns, also worth noting. While researching my first post on [...]
Best Post & Beam Guest House EVER!
I’ve done several posts on guest quarters and guest houses over the years, but this little timber frame beauty is by far my favorite to date. Perfect as either a guest house or a little “get-away” place for two (it can actually accommodate up to six, with help from a pull-out couch), this Yankee Barn Homes guest house is well under [...]

When I discovered where it was located, everything fell into place; I knew this area like the back of my hand. This home is located just a stone’s throw away from my old stomping grounds. The post and beam home [...]
A Pastoral Setting For A Handsome Barn Home
I don’t know what it is about Connecticut and gorgeous scenery, but it’s an undeniable fact; the state certainly has it! If you’re lucky enough to get your hands on a great piece of property, no matter where it might be, you’ll be certain to think long and hard about the type of structure that best [...]
Adirondack Style and Post & Beam Architecture: Forever Intertwined
Having grown up in an area situated between the Green Mountains of Vermont and the Adirondack Mountains of New York, I’ve experienced a great deal of the architectural styles of both. To this day, when I see anything remotely akin to what I call The Adirondack Style, a.k.a. rustic timber frame, it immediately brings to mind [...]
A Timber Frame Cottage In Downeast Maine
The first thing that caught my eye about this timber frame wasn’t anything to do with it being a post and beam home, it was the fantastic porches. Done to perfection in turn of the century shingle style and that wonderful shade of green often used to complement weathering cedar shakes, my architecture loving brain said “Oo la [...]
