Check Out This Kansas Barndominium – 2 Bed, 2 Bath, Full Details on Construction and More

Today we’re featuring a Kansas barndominium that’s been getting attention from many within the barndominium community. Photos courtesy of Dana Ann Blair, her family has been living in this barndominium outside of Bennington, KS for a number of years.

Featuring 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, we love how this barndominium is special yet achievable. We love all the details that they’ve included for others looking to build their dream barndominium.

I’m sure once my Husbands starts focusing on his garage area, we’ll end up alot higher.
I give credit to my husband,for spending hours upon hours doing most of the work.
