INDUSTRIAL BARN CONVERSION
Our Industrial barn conversion adventure began in March 2016. We started a blog in order to capture our story and document the ups and downs of our self build. We had a vision of the interior from an early stage and whilst we did have a few changes of heart, the end result was pretty much as we had initial envisaged, a dark, industrial style with a few design elements added in. We call it “Industrial Luxe”.
We hope that you enjoy our blog and it helps for inspiration and advice and of course if you have any questions or comments, feel free to get in touch!

The Grand Designs Conundrum
