Tucked away in the village of Richmond, Ontario lies Taryn and Adam's heritage farm home. Filled with lots of memories and pieces of history, it is clear that this farm home has been in the family for over 100 years. Their home is surrounded by beautifully weathered barns, lots of land and is bright and open with a country chic feel.
From the outside it might look like your average old house, but walk inside and you will be amazed by the classic yet modern updates they’ve made over the past year. They keep it simple by using soft neutral colors, warm wood accents with lots of character, and many repurposed unique accessories found buried in some of their barns. The "Red Rose Tea" sign and aged yellow door used as their head board are just a few of the many items that were rescued from the barns and given new life inside their family home.
