early American country homes
A RETURN TO SIMPLER LIVING
What is an Early American country home? It’s unpretentious, not fancy. It’s rustic . . . but not. It’s country—downhome country. It’s simple—in fact some might call it primitive. But most of all, it just feels like home.
In some cases, the owners of the homes featured here have added graceful touches to the bones of great old houses, while maintaining their historical grounding to the past. In others, owners have created contemporary country homes that fit snugly into Early American traditions, sometimes even using historical materials to better evoke the timeless simplicity of country living.
Author Tim Tanner and his wife Johnna restored their first nineteenth-century home in 1988, and have been involved in restoration and reproduction projects using reclaimed materials ever since. This book is meant to be an inspiration and resource for anyone interested in building, re-creating, restoring, or just enjoying simple Early American country styling.
