Building a French Farmhouse

Follow us as we build our dream house.

The style is what I call a California French Farmhouse.  Taking inspirations from Provence and adding modern touches and focusing on indoor/outdoor California living. 

A French farmhouse like Marie Antoinette’s Hameau?? I wish.

Below are all of the posts I’ve written about building and designing the French Farmhouse!
