Small Southwestern Living Area

This petite living space mixes rustic and Southwestern styles for a feel that's warm and inviting. Decorative lath wall panels clad the exterior wall where barn doors once hung. Those same doors have been repurposed to slide over the large living room window when privacy is desired.

Rustic Bathroom Vanity and Mirror

This charming home is set up in a refurbished blacksmith shop and incorporates many of the space's original details. Here, one of the window frames is repurposed as a bathroom mirror; the vanity was built from the shop's bench.

Metal and Wood Staircase

While renovating this space, once a blacksmith's shop, the designers made no additions to the original structure. To create bedrooms, they simply added a staircase and took advantage of the building's tall ceilings to turn the old hay loft into a sleeping loft.
