At Home in The American Barn

by James B. Garrison. Photography by Geoffrey Gross and Brandt Bolding.

Nationwide there is a movement afoot to slow things down, to return to basics--be it in food, in lifestyle, in living--and the dream of life in a barn, of returning to the soil and to an idealized nature is extremely appealing; this book embraces the dream and shares some success stories, as evidenced by the buildings themselves--the book will appeal to all those tired of the hustle and bustle and who appreciate the warmth and charms of a beautiful, crafted home.

At Home in the American Barn features 21 timber-frame barn conversions in bucolic settings--on hillsides, beside streams--and their inviting interiors, especially photographed for this book.
