Stable Options

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In yesterday's post, I asked if you would be willing to live in a barn. What do you think about living in a former artillery stable? The Illinois home once owned by interior designer Judith Nadler Ellerman and her husband John combines the openness of a loft with a garden-inspired palette. Modern art mixes with antiques. Industrial elements add energy while reclaimed wood offers warmth. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I also share pictures of three other barns. One "barn" was built for the Lovato family in Cape Cod, Massachusetts using reclaimed wood. The Lovatos needed room for extended family but wanted to respect the architecture of their historic 1817 home. In the second case, designer David Kleinberg relocated an existing barn to serve as a client's pool house in Connecticut. Lastly, I share photos of a barn built by Ina Garten, also known as the Barefoot Contessa, who was "inspired by the simple country buildings of Belgium." All four barns in today's posting, whether built from scratch or remodeled and repurposed, are examples of unique spaces that support modern lifestyles while respecting historical architecture.  </span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoT4qbWPpTF43EqNcalGIOIijo6UnVrqegJpxdnUFb-qxtCiR3Jc3XEyvMhUBqGOz4mdVa5VxKDNeI1PDRzd9o3_PdTJvOu34cyf_KUv-W1TkMemdOgdyb67xaRXsYATW2TujYWD5W_Lw/s1600/img_stunningremodel_ss1%255B1%255D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoT4qbWPpTF43EqNcalGIOIijo6UnVrqegJpxdnUFb-qxtCiR3Jc3XEyvMhUBqGOz4mdVa5VxKDNeI1PDRzd9o3_PdTJvOu34cyf_KUv-W1TkMemdOgdyb67xaRXsYATW2TujYWD5W_Lw/s640/img_stunningremodel_ss1%255B1%255D.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The home of Judith Nadler Ellerman and her husband John Ellerman was built in 1892 as an artillery stable for Fort Sheridan near Lake Forest, Illinois.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Interior design by Judith Nadler Ellerman.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Photography by Werner Straube.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Traditional Home (October 2010).</span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilrz4jo1t0w0xqO_aMRlRTO_USiWUfHzG01qeBSwgUyqnsHdlQEuF-jilvwdWkyLiFz-f5w21qZtb3P_jNwFkSX_8AbbnPiKkP1HbUsGSm9K55DQ9W5M-WIj7i2v7QErb4ZVn5bog0Klo/s1600/img_stunningremodel_ss2%255B1%255D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="588" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilrz4jo1t0w0xqO_aMRlRTO_USiWUfHzG01qeBSwgUyqnsHdlQEuF-jilvwdWkyLiFz-f5w21qZtb3P_jNwFkSX_8AbbnPiKkP1HbUsGSm9K55DQ9W5M-WIj7i2v7QErb4ZVn5bog0Klo/s640/img_stunningremodel_ss2%255B1%255D.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The 10-foot-tall doors let in light and cool breezes.
