Our barn exterior is SO SO SO close to being done. And could it be any cuter?
The solid stain on the barn is holding up really well after almost a year. I finally finished the trim around the large garage door and man door – and now it really looks finished.
Ryan has also been finishing the interior trim throughout the barn apartment. I love how the built-ins turned out.
I’m ignoring the fact that this all has to be painted. Head in the sand. And I can’t make a decision between my split personalities about which color I should paint everything. The trim will all be white. But, I want the area around the cabinets to be the same as the wall color. In other words, I’ll never make a decision.
And Ryan also got one pocket door installed. (This was actually an extra door from our first house.) Still on a search for a similar second door. We see them ALL THE TIME until we need one.
The windows looks so nice when they are trimmed out. They have extra deep sills.
And then there’s all the pretty baseboard trim.
The trim really makes the room look finished. Okay, fine. PAINTING will make the room look finished. Way to rub it in my face.
So that’s our little barn update. It’s moving, friends. It’s moving.
what i meant to type was none of the paint i’ve tried has the pop of your barn, which i’m looking for!
thanks! patrick
The color is barn red by Behr – it’s a solid stain. Here’s the full post.

do you remember which color paint/stain red was used on the barn? I’m restoring an old barn in ct. and none of the pop of your barn is exactly what i’m looking for!
thanks! patrick
These posts make me so excited. You guys are part of such a great adventure.
I’m just so amazed with each barn update!! You guys are incredible!!
OhmyGAH. It is sooo cute. Can I please move in? I’ll wait til you finish your other house, but this is easily the fanciest, most charming little barn that ever was.
Love the chunky trim! Everything’s looking great 🙂
It’s turning out so nice! I love the way built ins look!!
It’s looking really good! Way to go!
So so cute! When are you actually planning on moving in?
Well, we hope in August, if the septic gets installed quickly. Crossing. Fingers.
Um, it’s paint. Besides that, it’s not that big a space. Just pick a doggone color so we can see it! I have a need to see the finished product.
Whatever color you choose, I’m sure it’ll look fabulous! Y’all have done such a fantastic job and I am slightly envious of your barnhouse.
Was that a typo, or do you really have a “man” door? ;0P
Yeah – the entry door is always called a man door around here. Is that not common where you are? I guess, because a person/man walks through it? 😉
you guys are progressing so nicely! and i love that pocket door- the right other pocket door will come along and your pocket door won’t be lonely anymore.
it will be all finished before you know it! except, you will know it…since you will be the one to finish it 🙂
Looking good! It is really coming along!
It’s definitely coming along nicely! I can’t believe you guys stained it almost a year ago….time is flying…for me 😉
Kim I love seeing all the boards used in all different manners. Yes it will be a lot of painting but it always is and so worth it!!
Oh Em Gee… I love it so much. I want more, more, more…. like paint!!
I am right in the sand with you … have to paint that walk-in closet. Ehm… So you were saying? oh yeah… we need to get paintin’ Kim…
I can’t believe this is all coming together, Kim. It seems quick to me, but I am sure not to you. I am always so impressed with your vision and how you carry it out. Can’t wait to see you in it.
so stinking cute i can’t stand it.
ps – when you pick a paint color let us know how you did it cuz whoa girl i’m stuck too.
