From the website of our sponsor, Rejuvenation Hardware – from their customer stories section:
tradition joined hands with modern day technology. Their story was originally chronicled in This Old House.
Designed
and built in New Hampshire, their home's modular panels were trucked to
Weston, Mass., for on-site assembly – which went much quicker than a
customary from-the-ground-up barn raising.
Simple Fixtures with the Right Fit
With
a marriage of rustic charm and industrial elegance, this distinctly
21st century house (and its owners) demanded well-crafted lights that
"had the right vibe." And that's where we came in.
Now, a pair of Rivertons flank the front door, a good fit amid the sturdy beams and weathered wood. And a series of Jeffersons
look lovely hung in multiples above a stone pathway. Says Amy, "We felt
these fixtures fit in well with the overall style of our home, and we
love the warm glow they give the house at night; it's cozy and
inviting."
Tradition Goes Out on a Limb
Now
that Amy and Pete's new home is finished, it's exceeded their
expectations. "We did not want it to feel like just another house. It's
not your typical home at all. It is part barn and part tree house."

That is just gorgeous and it was really amazing to read that even it being a old looking home they are going green. “The house will have solar hot water and supplemental solar power, energy efficient systems, and a rain garden to protect the wetlands” This makes me the happiest because not many people would really think of this.
I hope they are forever happy in this home
