The Big Switch
The "Big Country Farmhouse" was one of Chip and Joanna's most ambitious and dramatic home transformations to date. Not only were walls removed and structural components upgraded, but entire rooms were redefined to serve completely new functions. "Every space in this house has been reconfigured," says Joanna. "What was once the living room is now the master bedroom. What was once the kitchen is now a guest bedroom...What was once the master bathroom is now the kitchen. What was once the kitchen is now the bunk room."

Heroic Transformation
The home exterior was radically redefined as well. What had been the side portion of an earlier addition is now the home's front entrance.

Rooms Reimagined
Some of the functional changes were daring and imaginative. The wall seen here behind the headboard in this new master bedroom is where the home's front door was once located.

Celebrating the Outdoors
For the homeowners, a main drawing card was the country setting and the land. Chip added this impressive pergola, with outdoor dining and seating areas, to help take full advantage of the scenic view and surroundings.

BEFORE
The house itself offered plenty of space, but was lacking in exterior appeal and, inside, was an odd structural mish-mash — the cummulative result of four prior add-ons.

BEFORE
Homeowners John and Stephanie were understandably underwhelmed at the sight of the home itself, prior to the renovation. But they fell in love with the country setting and the amenities that included 40+ acres of land, a pond and beautiful trees. They were willing to trust Joanna and Chip's vision for how the home could be made over. The house was built in 1959 and came with three bedrooms and three baths. A series of prior additions, however, had ultimately created an interior with varied elevations, numerous step-ups and step-downs, and a generally odd layout. Utimately, the home's foundation would need repairs and the HVAC, electrical and plumbing would all need replacing.

New siding, an upgraded metal roof, wrought iron sconces and three sets of French doors in natural wood finish provide the home's exterior with a wholly new aesthetic.

High-Drama Entryway
The elongated foyer runs the length of this portion of the home and is furnished with rustic console tables custom made by furniture artisan Clint Harp. Beams made from reclaimed lumber and stained dark span the width of the hall overhead and help define the space. The lateral hallway provides access to the new master suite at one end and the re-envisioned living space at the other.

According to Joanna, re-fashioning a new living space was the biggest challenge in this renovation. The center section of the ceiling was raised and multiple spaces were newly laid out. A wall was removed to open the new living area onto the all-new kitchen, which had formerly been a master bath and closet.
