Once you get past the wonder that is this barn-top-floor-turned-functioning-farmhouse, gain inspiration from the matching exterior evergreens that frame the hayloft just right.
Thanks to rustic rockers, a collection of terra-cotta pots, and climbing vines, you’d never guess at first glance that this seemingly pastoral townhouse garden terrace lies in the heart of New York City’s storied West Village neighborhood.
After renovating their farmhouse, a Wisconsin family set their sights on their backyard, adding wooden garden beds (designed to look like old fruit boxes!) around a dug-out fire pit and seating area.
If your backyard already includes chickens (or ducks!) — or if you just want to keep your furry friends hydrated, consider adding a unique DIY rustic water feature, like an inground watering trough.
