How to choose interior paint colors for post and beam homes continues to be a popular topic among Yankee Barn Homes clients. As interior styles and decor come and go, there remain “go to” colors for timer frame homes. This is related to the fact that in post and beam homes, the color of the [...]
Yankee Barn Homes Suggests: Choosing Interior Paint Colors
The choice of interior paint colors is important for any home. For a post and beam home, it’s imperative to choose your color(s) wisely. The color needs to compliment the stain color of your timber frame structure while doing the same for the color ways exhibited in your interior decor. I have a few suggestions [...]
Barn Homes and Shades of White Equal Perfection
The use of white has always been popular, but using it as the primary shade in a timber frame room or home is not the norm.

The Current Trend of White On White: A Natural Fit For Post and Beam Homes
A hot trend right now in interior decor is white on white. Everywhere you look, whether it’s magazines, catalogs or showrooms, tone-on-tone white is reappearing.

Paint Colors to Complement A Timber Frame Barn Home
I readily admit it; I’m a color enthusiast. When faced with the choice of using color or going with white, I’ll choose a color every time. However, this is not to mean I’m okay with what I like to call “electric techno-color” shades. I lean more toward muted tints and deeply saturated pigments. I find these tones superb compliments [...]
A Barn Home Redecorated: “Before” and “After” Pictures
Not long ago I was involved with the interior redecorating project of a post & beam home. It was all about aesthetics as the structure itself was totally sound. Post & beam to a decorator is what a blank canvas is to a painter: the end product is limited only by the imagination. Any style [...]
A Barn Style Home Rocks The French Provincial Style
I’m admittedly a fan of all things French so it won’t come as much of a surprise that the post & beam home featured here is one of my personal favorites. It’s actually two post & beam structures built at different times as the family and their home grew. No matter, the look of relaxed elegance [...]
