| "Jeryl came to me with an architectural vision for the barn he wanted. I took that idea and designed a timber frame based on historical designs and the property. It was a really fun project." —Mark Miller, owner, Trail Ridge Timber Frames |
 |
| The barn is constructed from western Douglas fir timbers, which were cut green and rough sawn. "The timbers dried and checked over time," says home-owner Jeryl Benner. "I think the finished result adds a lot of character to the barn." |
 |
| Although the barn doesn't provide a place for guests to sleep, it does has a bathroom with a shower (not shown). Wood walls and western details, such as the copper basin sink and outdoor pendant light, add rustic charm. |
 |
| "When we thought up the idea for the barn, we thought it could be a place to hang out, but also a place to store toys, like our motorcycle," says Jeryl. Garage-style doors make it easy to bring large items in, while enjoying the great outdoors. |
 |
| Because the barn is so open, the Benners decided to include a loft where people could retreat for a little peace and quiet. The loft also houses extra game tables. |
 |
| On the main floor, the Benners opted for acid-stained concrete flooring in a warm brown hue. They also installed gas-fire in-floor heating, so the barn stays comfortable year round. |
