Early American Country Homes: A Return to Simpler Living

Restored or remodeled homes in a classic country style.

Twenty restored or renovated early American country homes feature the myriad of different styles from around the country. The homes exude a simplicity that is somewhat rustic and somewhat country in an understated way. Tim Tanner also features some small cabins that have been made livable for today as well as decorating ideas and outbuildings.
