Starlight Farm

Photography by Stacey Brandford

Posted on May 30, 2017

Every project offers a unique challenge, and this rural retreat was definitely in dire need of a new look. What started as a dated 80's bungalow morphed into a peaceful family retreat filled with country style charm thanks to a mix of architectural salvage, flea market finds and budget-friendly big box building supplies. The results prove that you can achieve winning style when you think outside the box!
