This past week I had the opportunity to tour an amazing house in the picturesque countryside near Lake Pepin in Wisconsin. "Farmhouse Modern" is a term often used when describing the architecture of David Salmela who designed this home. A one story appendage extends off of the original two story clapboard house with screened porch. All of the buildings were given a metal roof. ![]() We pulled up the red brick drive and parked in front of the blue-gray garage; quite possibly the most beautiful garage I've ever seen. A garage with four large sheet-glass windows; two on each side. ![]() When you pass through the brick-red door, you enter the "coffee room". Wait... is it too late to add a "coffee room" onto my kitchen remodel? ![]() The section above, with long windows that connects the original house on the right to the new master suite on the left, is the dining room. Radiant in-floor heat warms the tile floor. Definitely a cook's kitchen. ![]() The master suite "wing". ![]() Note the barrel ceiling. I live in a c.1928, 2 story, 3 bedroom "tudor". Storage and bathroom space like this does not exist in my home. There's a shower on either side of the bathtub. The guest cottage behind the main house. ![]() Two additional buildings on the property. How charming is that red one? This small building has a sauna and study. COMING SOON... Pizza on the farm in rural Wisconsin.
