Tasteful Friends: The Modern Farmhouse

How does "modern" include steampunk?

This is a modern farmhouse.

I like them both, but not the square box coming off the back of the second one. It is completely out of place with the roofline.

I prefer the second one, but I'm not sure it's really a farm house

I prefer the first, but feel there can be varying degrees or features of modernism, and still be evocative of "farm". Perhaps the first is more aptly described as contemporary farmhouse. I love country style, handmade objects, and a rough hewn feel to a home. From what I gather here on DL, anyone with a predilection for old things or country style is immediately branded a frau here. I have always been an urban dwelling gay man, just for the record!

It’s totally Chip and Joanna Fixer Upper style. Completely overdone now.

If I like something (especially if I liked it first, as I am older than them) I give a crap when people like R5 declare it's overdone. You haven't seen the inside, so how can you be so sure? I feel the proportions of OP's house is better than most of their efforts.

First one. So quaint.

It's also more symmetrical than their style too. More distilled as well.

Does it have shiplap?????

Even if it did R9, I'd still prefer that to plain, soulless, and smooth uniform drywall.

I couldn't live with a tin roof. The noise in the rain would drive me nuts.

R11 I believe there is some sort of dampening material under them. I was at a friend's home in Grand Cayman, shortly after clay tiles had been replaced with a hurricane proof roof. Same looking steel, but no noisier than their old roof. They are showing up on Victorians all over chicago too.

cool, clean, crisp

Speaking as someone who grew up in a very small fairly rural town, I don't really care for the farmhouse aesthetic or country decor.

R13 what's with the big ass light over top of that 2nd story window?

I don't think that's an ass light.

this is

R14 I think it makes sense we sometimes romanticise the opposite of what we know, or how we were raised. This is akin to "wanting what we don't have". R15 That particular style of simple lamp harkens back to the turn of the 20th cent, and remained popular through the teens in many applications, as early industrial task lighting, commercial applications such as warehouses, to schoolhouses and utilitarian exterior lights for country style buildings.
