A 19th Century Kentucky Farmhouse by Matthew Carter

After a decade of planning, the owners of this 350-acre farm near Lexington, Kentucky finally took the plunge and restored the 19th century farmhouse. Working with Lexington interior designer Matthew Carter and Louisville architect Tim Winters, updates included new electrical and plumbing, a bedroom turned into a second upstairs bath, an added first-floor master suite with ample closet space, kitchen renovation, a family room, a laundry room, and a new front porch.  Every update was made with respect to the home’s long history, which included the use of reclaimed wood flooring, reusing glass from the home’s old windows for kitchen cabinets, and incorporating exterior brick walls and shutters into added-on rooms.  Let’s take a tour with images from Southern Living and Matthew Carter’s portfolio….
