Cable Railing for a Modern Farmhouse

More about the Project

After raising their girls in Connecticut, this couple started looking for a home that would offer a warmer climate, wonderful views, and a peaceful setting. This Appalachian farmhouse was everything they wanted but was sorely in need of a top-to-bottom remodel.

Their modern sensibilities and amazing 360º view made a cable railing system a no-brainer. Now they can enjoy the view while keeping an eye on the goats, chicks, and “Whisky Mama,” their lovable donkey. Fun fact: donkeys will protect goats from coyotes or other canines.

When asked why they chose the beverage rail, the response was simple: “It holds a wine bottle quite nicely.” I’m sure that’ll come in handy for many mountain sunsets to come.
