Once home to a herd of dairy cattle, the large barn fell into neglect...

...but we were determined to bring it back to life.

After years of weathering, there was hardly any paint left on the wood...

...we can only imagine it might have looked this way long ago.

These two pictures are, perhaps, the most striking...

...hard to imagine it's the same building.

Of course, no farm is complete without silos. Here's how they appeared before...

...here they're block-coated and ready for paint.

This color looked great on the paint sample. After we put it on we realized they looked like giant carrots. We were the talk of the town for miles around as the silos can be seen from great distances.

In the end, we picked this color and are happy we did!
