This modern farmhouse masterpiece embraces the art of refined rusticity through soaring vaulted ceilings, dramatic exposed beams, and a sophisticated charcoal-and-white palette. The design anchors around a spectacular double-height great room where clerestory windows flood the space with natural light, while the kitchen's striking wooden pendant installation creates a sculptural focal point.

Throughout, vertical shiplap walls, brass hardware, and a mix of weathered and polished wood finishes create a collected-over-time aesthetic that feels both elevated and effortlessly approachable.

A reclaimed wood plank ceiling creates instant drama in this entry corridor. White vertical shiplap walls provide clean contrast, while a gray built-in dresser with black hardware offers practical storage. The round hanging mirror and woven basket add softened organic touches to the linear architecture.

White subway tile wraps this spa-like bathroom where a weathered gray-wood vanity grounds the bright space. Rounded walnut-framed mirrors with brass arms and pendant sconces create symmetry, while the geometric black-and-white floor tile adds pattern and visual weight. A glimpse of the adjacent walk-in shower reveals matching tile treatments.

The floating wood staircase reveals its architectural prowess from this angle, where black vertical railings create rhythm and the varied glass pendants appear to float in space. A large-scale abstract drawing anchors the landing wall, while the steel-framed door below adds industrial polish.

A stunning collection of hand-blown glass pendants cascades through the stairwell, each one unique in form and scale. The mix of clear and textured glass catches light at every level, while black metal railings provide graphic counterpoint against white shiplap walls. Reclaimed wood accent ceiling adds warmth overhead.

A stunning reclaimed wood plank ceiling—installed in a dynamic diagonal pattern—gives this cozy media room its distinctive character. White shiplap walls keep the space feeling bright despite the rich ceiling treatment, while a modern credenza and textured sofa create comfortable viewing. Black-framed windows punctuate the clean backdrop.

Natural woven dining chairs surround a wood-edged table with brass legs, positioned to enjoy both the kitchen's pendant installation and views beyond. The charcoal cabinetry and exposed beams create a sophisticated backdrop for everyday meals, while counter seating at the island encourages flow between spaces.
