While you may have been tempted to think this Rigby, Idaho barndominium by C. Waters Construction LLC was all business, you are about to see how cozy and welcoming the living area is!

Kitchen

We begin in the barndominium’s bright and spacious kitchen, which makes a big statement in a small space. The unique ceiling keeps the industrial style that was previously noted on the exterior, while the diagonally run plank flooring offers some visual interest. A mixture of materials such as the wooden details on the ceiling and around the window is a softer contrast to the metallic accents and stainless steel appliances.
