A recent midwest jaunt to North Dakota confirmed something I'd had suspicions of for a while now- I have a serious barn problem. For a native Brooklyn girl, it's kind of funny, but I guess it's a grass-is-greener kind of thing. Seems I'm not the only one- check out this beautiful Dutch barn, a labor of love project for a barn fetishist in northern New York who didn't get a fancy sports car or dye his hair to cope with a mid-life crisis, he got a barn. Circa 1799 Dutch barn is a gorgeous space you can rent to get hitched in, have a dance party in, or just wander through and marvel at the history of an old structure that was built to last. If that's not bucolic enough for you, click through this slideshow of some beautiful Iowa barn quilts, most of 'em from about 50 years back or more. Midwest Living also has a nice barn quilt slideshow.
