In the heart of the countryside, a classic farmhouse underwent a transformation with 2C Construction that blended timeless elegance with modern comfort. The vision was clear: to create a serene retreat that not only honored the home’s original character but also provided a spacious haven for relaxation and family gatherings. Let’s explore how we bought this dream project came to life, showcasing the perfect fusion of rustic charm and contemporary sophistication.
Expanding the Dream: A Farmhouse Master Suite Addition with Vaulted Ceilings and Cozy Comfort
When it came time to expand this classic country farmhouse, the homeowners had one major priority: a stunning master suite addition that blended functionality with rustic charm. They envisioned a peaceful retreat, separate from the hustle and bustle of the main living areas, where they could unwind after long days on the farm. Not only did they want a master suite, but they also wanted more space to host large family gatherings with their kids and new grandkids.
The result? We built a large master suite designed for relaxation, featuring high vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, a spa-like bathroom with a custom walk-in shower, and heated flooring for those chilly winter mornings.
Designing the Master Suite: A Retreat with Rustic Elegance
The new master suite addition was custom-designed to feel like a natural extension of the original farmhouse while offering the comforts of a modern retreat. To achieve this, the team at 2C Construction incorporated vaulted ceilings and a large walk-in closet with built-in shelves. This approach allowed for optimal space optimization, ensuring every square foot was utilized effectively.
Large windows were added to flood the space with natural light, showcasing views of the surrounding countryside and providing a serene, airy atmosphere. Sconces with individual switches were placed at designated heights based on the homeowner’s furniture layout as an added design feature.
Inside the suite, a short hallway separates the foyer area from the suite and a neutral, earth-toned color palette was chosen to create a cozy yet sophisticated environment. Soft, layered lighting—including a statement chandelier and wall sconces—adds warmth and depth, making the space feel both expansive and intimate.
The Bathroom: A Luxurious Spa Experience
One of the standout features of this addition is the master bathroom, designed to be both functional and indulgent. The large custom walk-in shower is the centerpiece, featuring frameless glass and natural stone tile. Two built-in shower niches and recessed shelving add both convenience and elegance. Heated porcelain tile flooring ensures comfort during the colder months, perfectly bringing warmth to bare feet on frosty Michigan mornings. A custom double vanity sink with quartz countertops provides ample storage and counter space, keeping the room both stylish and organized. Subtle modern touches, such as dual mirrors and a smart thermostat for temperature control, make the space feel luxurious without overpowering the farmhouse charm.
Blending Old and New
One of the biggest challenges with any home addition is making sure it doesn’t feel “added on.” To seamlessly integrate the master suite with the original home, we matched the existing exterior materials to the new materials, from the wood siding to the trim details. Outside, reclaimed barn wood elements were incorporated in the interior to decorate accent walls and ceiling beams were used to tie the new space into the farmhouse’s existing character.
The transition from the main house into the addition is marked by a hallway lined with built-in storage, maintaining the farmhouse aesthetic while adding practical storage solutions. When it comes to home renovation and custom home design, attention to detail is key.
A Space for 3 Seasons
A highlight of living on a farm is the view over your acreage without many neighbors nearby. For the three-season room, the homeowner’s goal was to create an open and welcoming feel, while utilizing as much wood finishes as possible. To achieve this, the 2C team added stained pine to the vaulted ceiling for a rustic but comfortable feel, a gas fireplace for warmth and a cozy aesthetic, and white-washed car siding along the walls with the neutral-colored carpet to tie in the modern farmhouse feel.
