3. Vintagefrenchhen's updated milk house. After moving to a former dairy farm, vintagefrenchhen knew right away that she wanted to transform the old milk house in the back into a vintage-style office space. Built sometime in the early 20th century, the structure had been renovated numerous times. Vinyl and carpet were torn up from the cement floors, which she then painted a soft gray.
