We're starting a big renovation to this 4500 sq ft farmhouse... Barn beams in ceiling and pine floors. We've been working with a designer and plan to remove kitchen island, push kitchen wall straight back to create 11'x9' dining area, patio doors and all windows on southwest wall. A million things to address, but given the fieldstone fireplace is a main focal point, where do i go from there? Keep the beams brown and stain old and new pine flooring to match? We're in northern Vermont and the colors of a winter walk in the woods inspires me... Dark brown, dusty green/gray like lichen on trees, and ochre/rust. Also, this house is funky yet soulful and the REAL focal point is the mountain views to the southwest. I would like more simplicity in the house interior. Oh, limited budget... Any help welcome!
