Traditional farmhouses dot the American map. Where settlers came to work and farm the land, the building of farmhouses was not far behind. As farms prospered and families grew, so did the homes they built. The sunny white home of Maple Creek Market, built in 1820, is just one of these rural residences that has been lovingly maintained since its beginning.
The focal point of the home's exterior is a softly curving porch that surrounds its base. Above that is a smaller veranda that provides a more private outdoor space. Inside, the home has been designed and decorated with layers of white, ruffles and wooden details. Beadboard paneling, original hardwood floors and a stone fireplace add architectural depth and character. The color scheme remains soothing and restrained in an abundance of white, cream and brown. Soft textiles and draperies add to the country vibe and create a gentle backdrop for the shabby chic decor.
