Purple Farmhouse Blends Old and New

home tour October 20, 2019

Purple farmhouse? Yes, this historic farmhouse wears a shade of purple on the outside, as well as a dash of the color on the inside too. But what’s truly amazing about this home is its blend of old and new. If you love historic architecture but crave modern conveniences, this is the house for you!

The kitchen has warm, honey-toned, wide plank wood floors made from original ceiling boards. Hand-planed cabinetry and old-fashioned hardware give a nod to the historic age of this charming Massachusetts farmhouse.

The mudroom wears some of the purple coloring that you’ll see dotted throughout the home.  I’m envious of this space with ample storage – not something you generally see in older houses.

The family room is bright and airy with plenty of natural light. The same honey-toned floors add an element of warmth to the uncluttered space.

I love how the architect was able to salvage doors and use them in new places throughout the house. It gives the home integrity even though it’s been updated with modern conveniences.

The purple farmhouse has an historic fireplace with the trim painted in a similar shade as the home’s exterior. I have to admit, I love an old fireplace far more than the new ones you see today. And look at the cute vintage sheep marching across the mantel!

The vaulted bedroom is simple and clutter-free. My goal is to make my own bedroom as simplistic (yet beautiful) as this one.

Old ceiling beams were kept in the renovated bathrooms. I love that the architect paid so much attention to period details.

And here she is! The exterior of the purple farmhouse in all her glory. Simple, yet beautifully refined.

    NOT my favorite color but we’ll thought out and I love how they preserved its historical integrity.

    Love how they kept a lot of the charm and character of the farmhouse. The fireplace is rustic and inviting. I love purple and farmhouses, so two of my favorites in one. Simply beautiful!

    I’m surprised at the purple color, but it seems to work in this home. The simplicity is refreshing and to have a mud room in a historical home is both amazing and practical. If I could design a home from scratch, the very first thing on my list would be an actual mud room, not just an “area” taken from a foyer or kitchen back door.. I’ve never had one in all my years of children, grandchildren, dogs and cats with litter boxes. It’s been a dream unfulfilled, and I appreciate those designers who include one. Thank you for bringing us both the traditional and the unusual.

    It reminds me of home. One exception……..ours wasn’t purple. It’s because we only had yellow paint. I love that house and every thing in it.
