A current update on our farmhouse renovation is long over due!<br />
<br />
I'll begin by sharing our inspiration for the exterior improvements we are working on. This rustic little farmhouse had a similar layout with the look and feel we wanted to achieve. So this is what we came up with.....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7XOvlbJCBRcT9tirVLe8wVxXVl7KtcGzu9Q8ZG6mwPD74mtz0UyjpjscI1PQO6yKxoPxMoAimGSv3w_YOfnKmVbgN_kNeyDsxcp80G_6feOYssb_gnQ3qOYmxjFiBo0qPiimQtE60dic/s1600/add+on.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7XOvlbJCBRcT9tirVLe8wVxXVl7KtcGzu9Q8ZG6mwPD74mtz0UyjpjscI1PQO6yKxoPxMoAimGSv3w_YOfnKmVbgN_kNeyDsxcp80G_6feOYssb_gnQ3qOYmxjFiBo0qPiimQtE60dic/s640/add+on.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Dirt was moved to build up and create a pad next to the home to prepare for the building of a terrace. Fortunately we have plenty of dirt on our 21 acre parcel here, so didn't have to go far to get all this.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguhA3ALu63uFx9GZXSQzV8jZxduSIdTYtwNU8n7LW9doKlWyvURimIG8nfrj1I7HmlhQ1epwaOnD95BUA80dHb5_IA_4yBxtZfJrh7_pTBka6Z0DhOsP1QfHxfw-Ziw6ropVdS7FxccZg/s1600/grading.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguhA3ALu63uFx9GZXSQzV8jZxduSIdTYtwNU8n7LW9doKlWyvURimIG8nfrj1I7HmlhQ1epwaOnD95BUA80dHb5_IA_4yBxtZfJrh7_pTBka6Z0DhOsP1QfHxfw-Ziw6ropVdS7FxccZg/s640/grading.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
What was once the side of the home will now be the front. Placement of a new front door, new windows and dormer with new roof will help re-orient not just the outside but will also make better use of the interior floor plan. This home has a garage underneath so access was up a flight of stairs via a deck wrapped around half of home. The big ugly deck had to go!! <br />
Footings and foundation are in progress before terrace walls can be built<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRIh7UWHH6abHI5_MQfZHA0qYdVjQrmggAjdABhygQHdXiBfoRAVojIzYpokLswM2W-2SKfu0BrFxDJYd61Z8TWxEpKa4gaG6WRft1fECVESuheUmdyRr8R8JjMcxOX99goNlZO2Nvrtc/s1600/home.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRIh7UWHH6abHI5_MQfZHA0qYdVjQrmggAjdABhygQHdXiBfoRAVojIzYpokLswM2W-2SKfu0BrFxDJYd61Z8TWxEpKa4gaG6WRft1fECVESuheUmdyRr8R8JjMcxOX99goNlZO2Nvrtc/s400/home.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
The relocation of the back door will require new stone steps and some retaining walls but with a large portion of the deck removed it looks better already. Once the new doors are in and new windows installed the rest of the deck will be torn down. Can't wait for that day! <br />
<br />

<br />
The wood siding will be stripped and the entire exterior replaced with a rustic color coat stucco. We want to experiment with mixing multiple colors of stucco as it's applied for a very aged rustic appearance so Tom will likely take on the application himself. We'll experiment with colors in several test applications as we get closer and see what we can come up with. <br />
<br />
<br />
Our favorite french country cottage was the inspiration for a new dormer to be added in the roof above the new front door. We stayed here in July during our shopping trip with Sharon of My French Country Home. It is such a charming little place.<br />

<br />
and we love the look of several structures sharing a courtyard or terrace as in the photo below. If we ever add on at some point in the future the improvements we are making now can be incorporated into a future design. <br />

<br />
<br />
I'll continue to update on our progress and post photos to instagram as well.<br />
<br />
We also ordered the vines for our vineyard. 3 to 4 acres of Rhone Varietals will be planted next spring so Tom is also organizing the preparation of the water storage tanks and irrigation system for the vineyard. A small wine production facility and tasting room venue is also planned in the next phase of this project.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
With several projects in various stages going on, Tom cut his "real job" work schedule back to three days a week so he can spend time at the site managing the progress. I continue to work full time and live 5 days a week on the Monterey peninsula gathering inspiration and planning the interior renovation which we will dive into once the major exterior pieces are in place. Stay tuned and yes, we are an ambitious couple!!<br />
<br />
Cheers!<br />

Our to do list this year has been long. In between completing and selling our Pebble Beach home and preparing for renovations on our property in Amador County, one of our daughters was married. Somewhere in there I planned a wedding- and it was a beautiful June wedding!!<br />
<br />

We began with the perfect venue-Holman Ranch in Carmel Valley, CA. You can see my post from last year on this beautiful place <a href="http://www.europeanfarmhousecharm.com/2014/03/a-rustic-and-sophisticated-venue-in.html" target="_blank">here</a><br />

We chose the wedding colors based on the venue and how it would look in summer. It was going to be the background in every photo so I wanted to make certain the colors complimented the beautiful oaks, manicured lawns, lush green vineyards and surrounding gardens that would be in full bloom in June.<br />
<br />
We chose a pastel pink chiffon dress for the bridesmaids in varying styles<br />

I had an Etsy Artist paint a fun wedding map and it became the centerpiece in their invitation suite. They really liked the little banner so it was used in the ceremony programs and the menus too. <br />

Christine Cater floral design picked up on my desire to use old french urns and wire muscle baskets at the ceremony site and knocked it out of the park with her version of rustic floral displays. They were absolutely breathtaking! The same color scheme of varying shades of green foliage and soft blooms in rustic silver containers were chosen to compliment the ongoing color scheme.<br />

The ceremony site during summer is lined with white poppies. We knew they would be in bloom and tall, so green foliage and scant white blooms were also used in my urns. The view from that site is really amazing.<br />

My uber talented Mom made her veil, the wedding cake, and crocheted a small wrap for her bouquet. My Mom made my wedding gown and my sisters weddings gowns back in the day. We grew up around her designing, sewing and decorating just about anything. I am forever grateful for her creative influence that most certainly had a impact on me:)<br />

The garden patio where we dined <b>wa</b>s pure rustic elegance! The hacienda's exterior is clad in a creamy carmel stone so I chose ivory linen for the tables which let those pretty floral centerpieces pop. All linens are from La Tavola Fine Linen, Tuscany Linen in eggshell. Their linens are divine!<br />

A water storage system and deer fencing will follow, but for now we are getting a clearer view of our beautiful heritage oaks.<br />
<br />
<br />
We will also begin renovations on the house in the next few months. Building permit is in and new windows have arrived. I am excited to begin the transition from little red barn house to rustic european farmhouse complete with stucco exterior, new roof, windows and a terrace. <br />

The existing house has a horrible deck around part of it that will be torn down and entrances in front and rear will be relocated to make better use of the existing floor plan. It sits on top of a hill and with more land clearing in the fall will have even better views of the foothills and vineyards below. <br />

We will be traveling to France in July to shop for pieces to use in the renovation and for use in future development on the property. So excited about this trip!!<br />

I am now on instagram at #europeanfarmhousecharm and will begin posting photos on our progress.<br />

Our labor of love was officially completed when we sold our Pebble Beach home in February. We moved out in March and I am now settling down in a tiny little cottage in Carmel while I continue to live and work on the Monterey Peninsula. Each weekend though, I'm headed to the country as we begin to move forward with our next renovation. Our barnhouse in the country will be transformed into a european farmhouse complete with small vineyard. Lots of work to do here-but we're off and running!<br />
<br />
<br />
More to come on all the exciting plans for the farmhouse renovation and planting of our little vineyard:)<br />

Summer bed cover and curtains are "Orkney" by Rough Linen -I am addicted to Tricia's beautiful linens! The pillow shams are vintage european grain sacks-slightly off color but perfectly imperfect.<br />

And ......our new hardwood floor! It is as beautiful as we thought it would be.<br />
<br />
<br />
Our Master Bathroom :).<br />
<br />
My favorite room in the entire house and it was by far the most challenging to pull together. It was an odd shaped space and we went back and forth with ideas before settling on this one.<br />
<br />
I bought the mirror from an individual selling a few vintage pieces that belonged to her husbands grandmother. She told me it hung above a buffet. It sat in our storage for 2 years until I found the perfect use for it here over the sink. <br />

I used the same Rough Linen in "Orkney" for the curtain and the cabinet. It's perfect against the marble counter top.<br />

All the steel windows were sanded, stripped, painted and several glass panes replaced. Tom tackled the messy window project while the contractor installed our hardwood floors (a job he was happy to hire out)<br />

The interior doors are knotty alder wood. I painted all of them with a combination of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint (french linen base coat, with chateau gray over and waxed with clear and dark wax. It took a few manicures for my hands and nails to recover :)! <br />

Hello :)! <br />
<br />
Well labor day is officially over, but we're still laboring! Its been a while since my last post and we've been busy busy over here.<br />
<br />
Our Master Bath is nearly complete! After living through the demolition and the mess, this room is finally taking shape! We are currently refinishing the vintage steel window in the room and replacing the glass panes, so until I can show you photos of a thoroughly "clean" and beautiful space, I thought I would share with you some of the fixtures and finishes we chose.<br />
<br />
Here we go:<br />
<br />
<br />
The Boyce Freestanding Tub: It fits snugly into a small alcove in the room with a vintage chandelier hanging overhead. I liked it for its soft lines.<br />

<br />
<br />
Bottocino Tumbled Marble- We chose the 12 x 12 squares for the floor, 6 x 12 subway style pattern for the shower and a 16 x 16 tile was used on a small counter top. This tile is simply gorgeous- and when it meets with the old world style plaster, transforms into pure rustic elegance! <br />

Duravit Trough Sink- We mounted this sink like a farmhouse sink in a plastered surround with the two wall mounted fixtures above. Fortunately, Tom doesn't shy away from the challenges often associated with some of my design suggestions :), and this was one of them. He worked it out and we both love how it turned out! <br />

<br />
and while we are putting the finishing touches on this master bath, we have new wood floors scheduled to be installed throughout the house next week. Provenza Sabatini is a 7 inch wood plank floor and once installed will tie all the colors and rustic finishes inside this home together. I can hardly wait :)! <br />

<br />
No we haven't fallen off the grid :), although I'm thinking that sounds pretty good right about now. My real job has me working very long days and we have been equally busy on the house projects since my last post.<br />
<br />
But enough of that, let's get to the good stuff- Our back garden is nearly complete- Let's take a look-<br />
<br />

<br />
We both love relaxing outside and wanted to create the feel of an open air room. Our back garden is quite large so we created separate areas for gardening, grilling and relaxing with a glass of wine.<br />

The oak trees create the most beautiful canopy so this space was perfect for "chillin" at the end of the day and on weekends. An outside music system was installed and is great when entertaining, or we hang out just listening to the seals bark down at the beach and the birds swooping through the trees. It's sooo relaxing!<br />

<br />
The old copper vessel, crusty french doors and mantle added that touch of rustic charm that instantly transformed this space, and how I loved shopping for all this too :)!<br />
<br />
A small garden area was fenced with grape stakes. The pillar in the center with the sun dial was left here by the prior owners. We have incorporated many little treasures like that back into the landscape here.<br />

The grilling area is not finished yet. We are building a built in BBQ grill and bar area that will be next to a very large apple tree. So more photos will follow within the next several weeks on this project.<br />

<br />
This was quite a transformation. A few before photos are below. This is what the same space looked like when we moved in. This is the area under the trees-<br />

I painted the pine sink base and Tom tiled the top with the same tumbled stone we used in the shower and on the floor.<br />

I purchased the sink base from an antique store last year. It looked like this back then....<br />

Like the rest of our home,we chose creamy beige tones, rustic beams and touches of green.<br />
<br />

We also elected to go with a shower only rather than the tub shower combination that was originally there.<br />
<br />

We raised the ceiling and added a few rustic beams <br />

Next week a contractor and crew will start on our backyard landscape project while inside Tom is busy getting ready to plaster our guest bedroom and hallway. I am choosing fixtures, sinks, tub etc., for the master bath and bedroom remodel which is up next. I'm so excited, the inside is almost finished!!<br />
<br />
I'll post more of the progress soon. Thank you for following along :)!<br />

There are few places here on the Monterey peninsula that rival the serene beauty of Pebble Beach, and the charm of Carmel by the Sea, but thirty minutes into the rustic foothills of Carmel Valley lies a gorgeous estate and vineyard turned "venue" that is one of the most beautiful backdrops for an outdoor wedding.<br />
<br />
This is Holman Ranch and Vineyards<br />

Yes, a wedding has been added to our busy to do list! One of our twin daughters will be married in the summer of 2015 and this beautiful venue has been chosen to gather and celebrate with family and friends. <br />
<br />
In a word, this place is "special". Have a look. I took the following photos while viewing the property recently:<br />

Its hard to imagine this estate could look more beautiful than this, but I've seen the photos of the gardens in spring and summer and it is absolutely stunning.<br />

Having enjoyed some real down time over the holiday, we extended our little break and savored every weekend of free time in January. Beach walks with the dogs, and time with family and friends were the only things on our immediate to do list. Yay!!! Well besides our real jobs :).<br />
<br />
It's been awhile since I've shared any updates from our Pebble Beach home, but it's where the majority of our projects will be for the next six months or so. <br />
<br />
Our courtyard has a few updates-<br />
<br />
The galvanized lantern hangs from an old beam we purchased from our friends at <a href="http://www.americanbarnandwood.com/" target="_blank">American Barn & Wood</a>. I plan to plant wisteria around the beam in the spring.<br />

It should look nice by the existing wisteria on the arbor over our front entry. Its already starting to sprout and should be in beautiful bloom by April<br />

Tom finished the grape stake fencing around the entire courtyard. Do you like our little charlie brown pine tree? It may eventually be transplanted in the back garden, but for now it kind of anchors the corner of our driveway.<br />

We are remodeling our hall bathroom now and I plan share more of that progress soon as well.<br />
<br />
<br />As for the barn house....<br />
<br />
The barn house has a few new occupants at the moment so progress there has been sidelined for the short term, but I assure you its all good!<br />
<br />
Our little grandson Mason and his parents moved back to California and are living in the barn house for now<br />

A snowy weekend left us spending most of our time tending to frozen pipes and well pumps, but what an appropriate scene for a December weekend! Enjoy the wintery shots below along with a few updates.<br />

I have such a fondness for one of a kind treasures I find while scouring shops and fairs. This little water color painting was done on a piece of regular copy paper taped to cardboard.... I love that!<br />

We have half of the kitchen cabinets re-faced in the barn wood and will likely not finish the rest until after the holidays :(, but here's a sneak peak anyway- <br />

The patina and character of this ash wood is just lovely. I cannot wait to finish this kitchen!<br />
<br />
I'll be using black leather pulls like these on the cabinets. I thought it would add a nice modern touch to the distressed wood and compliment the stainless steels appliances. <br />

It's been a while since I've had the opportunity to update on our progress, but as you can see the barnhouse exterior is nearing completion. Charming in its new coat of red and white don't you think?<br />
<br />

We are also close to finishing the interior and within the next several weeks I'll be sharing photos of the completed and furnished rooms! As busy as as we have been making the long distance trek each weekend to work on this little place, I have managed to pop by my favorite antique shops for a few new interior pieces.<br />
<br />
Some of the antique pieces are from a shop I recently discovered that has a history of acquiring pieces from the Czech Republic, Hungary and Russia. Here are a few of my favorites-<br />
<br />

I bought this hungarian spice rack from the shop owners personal
collection. I must have a few more of these, they are lovely when
displayed together. They are now on my wishlist! (that was a hint Tom)!<br />
<br />
This beautiful rust colored armoire came home with me. This piece is from the Czech Republic and dates back to the 1890's. We plan to use it in our family room.<br />

I thought this old Russian cupboard would look great painted black- I didn't buy for the barnhouse, but wish I had a place for it somewhere.<br />

The barn wood strips we will use are from larger pieces of wood Tom will cut to fit the cabinets. The piece on the left is in its raw state, the pieces next to it have been sanded to a nice natural finish. I'm liking the natural wood so much, its making me rethink my choice of stain for the hardwood floor. I may stay with the natural finish of the white oak instead of the gray stain I have chosen. I'll need to wait and see how it all looks together. <br />

Like this one.....our barn wood staircase! We didn't want the traditional staircase and came up with this design that suited a more modern country vibe without looking too bulky. Tom did a great job on this. We also plan to leave the wood in its natural state and will seal it with a matte finish<br />

Most of the barn wood we are using is ash wood and when sanded it leaves such a beautiful natural finish. <br />

All the barn wood used in this house is from <a href="http://www.americanbarnandwood.com/" target="_blank">American Barn and Wood</a>. A really lovely couple own and operate this business and it appears their business of reclaiming these old barns is really thriving!<br />

The walls in the kitchen and family room will be covered in plank paneling.<br />
I have a few planks I painted and placed on top of this old redwood mantel so you get the idea.<br />

I found the old mantel at a local antique mall I frequent. I was told it was over one hundred years old and at the time it was covered in baby blue textured paint Yikes! A few coats of white chalk paint though and a bit of sanding and it's perfect.<br />

Harvest time is now upon us and the wineries are all a buzz in grape picking and crushing. I love how the vineyards are changing colors. Such a beautiful little valley we have found:)!!<br />

While working on our country place last weekend, we decided to take some time out and attend the county fair. This county is still so new to us so it's nice to be able to attend any community events while we are in town.<br />
<br />
What wonderful displays in the landscape and garden areas! I would love something like this little shed to house our well pump and other unsitely equipment on the property....and where can I find this post and lamp? It would be perfect for the barn house.<br />

Great little planters like these were placed throughout the grounds. We'll be making some of these for the barn house as well. <br />

We couldn't believe the size of this old steam saw on display. It was used in saw mills in the early 1900's. We missed the saw in action cutting some of the huge logs shown below.<br />

Such fun..... now back at the barn house......<br />
<br />
We're making progress on the interior. The kitchen was gutted last weekend by our son and his friends who have been frequent visitors to our little compound :) Nice demo work guys! Tom will replace drywall, texture walls and ceilings and install new lighting before we reassemble the entire space. <br />

The past six weeks have flown by and while most of the work is currently happening inside this little place the one major thing we're doing to the exterior is giving it a big dose of barn red paint! We are in the process of painting now and I just love it! I couldn't wait to share-even though we're not finished yet. </div>

The interior was gutted several weeks ago and bundles of white oak hardwood for the floors have been acclimating nicely in the living area. The two large windows were just installed. This room had small windows which didn't take advantage of the beautiful views outside.</div>

First, I tested a new grey based stain on some sample pieces of the hardwood floor. I really like the muted tone, it's very grey brown. Love it! <br />

Since we also gutted the space in the tiny kitchen, I've been gathering photos which really capture the look and feel I would like to achieve. A simple understated country feel is the goal as in the photos here....<br />

We closed escrow a few weeks ago on our country property! While this little barn house is in need of a serious makeover, the 21.5 acres it sits on is in a quaint little valley surrounded by family owned vineyards.<br />
<br />
And I'm sharing the first "before" photo<br />
I can't wait to tear down that street light thing :)<br />

This will be our "family compound". A place for our family to hang out on weekends and holidays.<br />
We plan to renovate this little house and eventually build a European style farmhouse on the other<br />
side of the property. We also have young adult children who enjoy wine as much as we do so we plan to plant a small family vineyard and try some wine making of our own. Why not...when in Rome right?<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
We have our own little country lane that leads to a large vineyard behind our property. Our dogs love it as much as we do!</div>

I am also making over a pair of danish lounge chairs that I plan to use in the den. I painted the wood in several layers of gray and white and plan to have them reupholstered in an oatmeal colored linen and canvas.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
I wish I could say I'm back after a nice break- but since I've been busy working my tail off, I'll just say-the past several weeks have been very busy around our little house. Beams were installed in our den and Tom is busy plastering, so as of this writing we are surrounded by drywall dust and plaster!! <br />
<br />
In bit of a whirlwind trip we found ourselves making a offer to buy some acreage in a small rural community surrounded by vineyards. Fingers crossed it all works out for us! Naturally it has an old little home that needs renovating (yay!) and ever since I have been experiencing such Barnhouse Envy!!<br />
<br />
My favorite is from <a href="http://www.heritagebarns.com/" target="_blank">Heritage Barns</a><br />
I love the mix of stone and old barn wood. It's perfect together.<br />

I think I'm drawn to the simplicity of some of these barn homes. It provides so many possibilities-my little renovating wheels are already turning! <br />
The red barn wood is so vintage country. Very cute.<br />

I just finished decorating a nursery for our very first and very new little grandson. My daughter chose a theme of jungle animals with brown, orange and green tones so to keep the room looking soft, I opted for neutral walls, linen and canvas window coverings, and a crib and dresser with a distressed driftwood type finish. Soft, Simple and Sweet was the goal.<br />

Now that the holidays and family gatherings are behind us, it was time to get into that all too familiar "demolition mode" and start renovating our guest bathroom and our den. I'll share photos as we progress on both rooms, but first-I wanted to share a few finds I scored recently while antiquing.<br />
<br />
I found the perfect piece to anchor my bathroom remodel. This sweet little pine cabinet with marble top will<br />
serve as the base for a vessel sink. <br />
<br />
<br />

I'm a sucker for aged pine and the intricate detail, marble top and large storage in the base make it perfect for a sink base.<br />

and last but not least, this small dresser for our guest studio. It initially had some chippy yellow paint that I sanded down, white washed and finished with a few coats of wax. It will be perfect when we have guests staying with us!<br />

So I'll leave you now with a photo of a before shot of our guest bath remodel. When I dashed out of the house yesterday with a to do list a mile long- I asked Tom to snap a few before pics once he removed all the "stuff" but before he started the actual demo. This is what I found on the camera when I got home....<br />

<br />
yes, I'm still laughing! There are a few other pics I think I can salvage and I snapped a few more. I look forward to sharing them as we progress on these projects. Thanks for reading and happy new year!!<br />

The countertop in our laundry area is made from oak floor planks from this old barn..."The Hudsonville Barn" an 1870's beauty from Hudsonville, Michigan.<br />
<br />
<br />
We also bought wood for a few other projects from this old barn out of Indiana. It's so cool to actually see photos of the barns and to learn about how they were used.<br />

Despite the craziness, we have managed to put most of the finishing touches on our guest studio renovation.<br />
<br />
This is the kitchenette decorated with many of the items we bought while brocante hunting in France. We love using the Travertine mini slabs rather than a full slab. It gives the look of a chunky antique stone and is a very inexpensive alternative.<br />

Rather than tear out the existing lower cabinet, Tom took the doors off and re-framed it with Hardy backer board so he could plaster over it. The walls and the cabinet get a coat of pink primer to prep before applying the limestone plaster.<br />

Tom made the shelves from the same recycled oak barnwood as the closet. They are beautiful, but why didn't I remember to dust them off before taking this photo:)?? <br />

This Pediment is inset into the limestone plaster above the bed. The wood and this plaster are perfect together! I had not seen many of these until I came upon a stack of while shopping the gardens of Atelier de Campagne. I instantly knew this is how I would use it!<br />

I especially enjoy wandering the grounds taking in every vignette. There is so much to see that I can make several rounds and spot something new each time.<br />

<br />If you ever want to shop between their bi-annual container sales, you can contact them directly to schedule an appointment to shop in their garden mid-week. I've done this many times, even under Trino's umbrella in the rain...and I promise you, it's just as much fun:)!! <br />
