With cherished memories within its walls, this Barndominium stands as a testament to a dream brought to life.
The journey began with a vision and determination to create a haven that speaks of comfort, simplicity, and functional elegance.
At the heart of this 1820-square-foot haven lies an open living space that is 28’x 36′, painted with the soothing tones of Repose Gray paint.

And as you stand on the concrete floors with their two coats of clear sealer, you’re immersed in a space that effortlessly marries style and functionality.
Join us in a tour of the McGinnis’ home below.
Exterior 
A covered porch graces the entire front of the house, while the back also boasts its own sheltered porch.
Well-placed lighting ensures delightful outdoor moments even after sunset, and a gravel driveway adds to the property’s allure.
This vast property boasts its very own serene pond, adding to the natural charm of the surroundings.
Entranceway/Porch
Decked out in festive holiday decor, the front doors, sourced from a local contractors supply store catalog, welcome you with warmth.
The inviting touch continues with the handcrafted garland, crafted from fresh greenery, adding a delightful seasonal flair. 
For the holidays, the space comes alive with greenery adorned with twinkling lights, creating a magical ambiance. 
Embracing rustic charm, the porch boasts plaid decor that adds a cozy touch. This long view of the porch shows ample seating to savor the scenery.
Interior
In the interior view, a seamless transition welcomes visitors from the living area to the dining and kitchen spaces.
The choice of natural color concrete flooring, meticulously sealed with Diamond Clear, not only adds a modern touch but also ensures durability.
The presence of Buffalo plaid rugs, which are versatile indoor/outdoor pieces, enhances the cozy atmosphere.
Exposed spiral ductwork adds an industrial flair, contributing to the overall aesthetic.
The functionality of the pellet stove shines through as it efficiently heats the entire house, making the traditional heating system rarely necessary. 
In another perspective of the interior, the focus shifts to the Dining Room.
The table and chairs, charmingly discovered at thrift stores, hold a sentimental value as they’ve been a part of the household for years.
Notably, the table was given a new lease on life with a revamped top, courtesy of the homeowner’s husband.
This combination of cherished finds and personal craftsmanship adds a unique touch to the space, creating a warm and inviting dining area.
Kitchen
In the kitchen, a spacious island measuring 5 x 8 becomes a central focal point.
The elegant backsplash features shiplap, adding a touch of rustic charm to the modern setting.
The kitchen boasts stainless steel appliances, which beautifully complement the color palette of black, gray, and white that permeates the entire space.
Suspended lighting fixtures hang gracefully over the island, providing both functional illumination and a stylish visual element. 
Another perspective of the kitchen reveals a thoughtful design approach.
A wood accent vent above the stove adds a touch of warmth to the culinary space.
The corner area of the counter is optimized for practicality, as the homeowners opted against a traditional lazy Susan.
Instead, the space serves a dual purpose: storing items not frequently needed and accommodating double trash bins conveniently positioned beside the sink.
This customization reflects the homeowners’ practicality and attention to detail.
