Minnesota Fabulous

December 30, 2010

***I had a 2-way tie for favorite home of 2010, so I’m running this one today and another tomorrow. Enjoy!***

Happy Home Tour Friday Thursday to you!

Today we’re headed to Minnesota to see a gorgeous beauty located on 10 fabulous acres.

Designed as a new ‘farmhouse’, this home was built to complete an existing group of outbuildings, which included barns, garages, storage sheds and a pool house, re-establishing the childhood farmstead for the homeowner, who grew up on the property.

Bring me some lemonade please. I’ll be here all afternoon.

The placement of the house takes advantage of the abundant natural light, and captures the near and distant views offered by the site’s 10 fabulous acres.

I just love all these windows.

Moving inside…

The design in this room is simply stunning. Love the subtle palette to allow the sunlight to take center stage.

The painting through the entry is my favorite. I can just imagine dinners stretching for hours here.

The kitchen: I’d venture to guess any gourmet chef would be thrilled to craft their magic here.

In the family room, this niche created with the cabinetry for the painting frames it perfectly. Love this room.

In the sunroom, let the light shine in. Gorgeous.

Okay I had to save this for last because this outdoor kitchen in the screen porch is, well, pretty incredible.

The kitchens are nearly always my favorite room of the house, so I was especially happy to see a kitchen on the porch! Wow! For the record, I love BOTH of the kitchens.

Absolutely beautiful! All of those windows get me. And I do love that screened in porch with the kitchen. I would hang out there all day/evening long!
