I love the idea of a home that's rustic on the outside and modern on the inside. I've dreamed about designing the perfect house for me and my future family. But I often thought it was just that - a dream, way out of my budget and never really realistic. I wouldn't even know where to start.

If this sounds like you - this book is exactly where to start. From finding the right piece of land and finding ways to finance your build, to planning the layout and choosing the right furniture to get the feel you want, this book is a great guide.

Obviously you're not going to build the whole thing yourself (or maybe you are, but I'm not!) but it seems crucial to understand what's going on at each stage so you can make informed decisions. This book provides the perfect level of detail or just that.

A great guide for building your dream barn home

Interesting concept! I love this idea of the luxurious barn, and on a budget! It completely changed my thinking around barns and the typical red barn house. As a past Architecture student, this concept is often overlooked, fancy rural living. Aesthetically pleasing, but simple and budget friendly. Tooooo often we focus on the urban environment and the concrete jungle.

This audiobook was not just a guide, but as an invitation to dream and build—a Barndominium, a charming blend of a barn and a modern home, imbued with personal style and comfort. It was detailed and accessible, covering everything from the initial planning and design phases to the final touches of construction and demystified the complexities involved in such a daunting project.

The sections on interior design and smart home technologies are particularly inspiring, offering creative ideas that encourage listeners to envision a living space that’s not only functional but also a true reflection of personal taste and innovation. I like that it took into consideration environmental considerations, which highlights the practical aspects of this endeavor, and made me fully aware of the responsibilities and challenges I might face.

For anyone contemplating this unique approach to home-building, or just curious about alternative living spaces, this audiobook is a treasure trove of information, inspiration, and encouragement. It has certainly planted the seed for my own Barndominium aspirations!
