Welcome to Swan River Farmhouse

This rustic farmhouse in Bigfork, Montana has undergone an impressive transformation since its new owners, Felesha and Jeremiah McAfee, took possession in 2013. The home's interior had received a complete renovation in the 1970's and still displayed the wallpaper and material choices of that decade. Needless to say, a thorough overhaul was necessary to achieve the rustic aesthetic that the homeowner's envisioned for this tucked-away home.
The home was completely gutted, and everything brought up to code to ensure that the farmhouse would be beautiful and safe. Rustic wood beams and white shiplapped walls are featured in many of the rooms and create the ideal foundation for the furniture and accessories within. A few walls remain unpainted to allow the natural patina of the wood to shine through.
