Century Oak Farmhouse Tour: Inside a Real-Life Build of the WD5002 Floor Plan
There’s nothing quite like seeing a modern farmhouse floor plan brought to life. This Century Oak “COF-WD-5002 farmhouse showcases how thoughtful design, natural light, and personal details can transform blueprints into a dream home.
When we toured Leslie and Stephen’s finished WD5002, we discovered creative ideas and small tweaks that made their version uniquely theirs — proof that a great plan provides the perfect canvas for customization.

From Pinterest Board to Reality
Leslie spent years pinning farmhouse floor plans before discovering the Century Oak WD-5002.
“It had everything I wanted — open yet not boxy, filled with natural light, and the flow just made sense.”
The Century Oak Farmhouse appealed to her because it balanced openness with cozy, defined spaces. It’s a design that feels custom and intentional, even without major structural changes.
Entryway & First Impressions
Step through a custom ash front door, stained to match the hickory kitchen island, and you’re welcomed by leaded glass windows and a breathtaking view straight through to the backyard.
Leslie found an artisan on Etsy to create the leaded glass insert — one of her first purchases after ordering the plans. It sets a tone of craftsmanship and character that carries through the entire home.
Interior Color Palette and Frosted Glass Details
Just off the foyer, the front room features frosted glass doors, offering privacy while keeping the light. The powder bath pops with Sherwin-Williams Debonair, a rich, calm blue that adds color without overpowering the farmhouse whites.
Throughout the home, neutral tones — Pure White, Evergreen Fog, and natural wood — create a warm, organic flow.
The Screened Porch Retreat
The screened porch is a daily favorite. French doors open from both sides of the fireplace, inviting breezes and extending the living space outdoors. Facing south, the porch stays bright but comfortable all day.
“We can’t wait to enjoy coffee out here every morning.”
Large 2 × 2 screen panels maximize the view — a simple tweak that makes a big difference in the farmhouse outdoor living experience.
Living Room & Fireplace Design Inspiration
The living room embodies rustic elegance: stained scissor trusses, painted tongue-and-groove ceilings, and exposed rafters painted white for contrast.
The show-stopping brick-tile fireplace is wrapped in salvaged barn wood beams reclaimed from a barn originally on the property — a perfect nod to its rural roots.
“We took beams from the old barn, had them kiln-dried, and reused them on the mantel. Now that history lives in our home.”
Open Dining Room for Gatherings
The Century Oak WD5002 dining room surprises most visitors with its generous size. A large family table fits easily, with room left for a buffet or sideboard. The open connection to the kitchen and living areas keeps conversation and light flowing naturally.
This is a great example of how the open floor plan farmhouse design promotes togetherness without sacrificing defined zones.
The Kitchen — Function Meets Farmhouse Style
Leslie reconfigured her kitchen slightly — moving the refrigerator to make room for a hutch-style coffee bar. The result is a space that feels tailored, efficient, and high-end.
H3: Material Highlights
- Cabinets: Hickory in “Cognac” stain
- Countertops: Quartzite Taj Mahal (also used in the primary bath)
- Appliances: ZLINE with gold handles for cohesive warmth
- Lighting: Elegant glass pendants from Wayfair
The adjacent butler’s pantry hides a second refrigerator, sink, and blender station — ideal for keeping the main kitchen clutter-free.

Primary Suite Sanctuary
The primary bedroom balances comfort and sophistication with a paneled accent wall, iron-ore barn door, and ample light.
The ensuite features matching hickory cabinetry, quartzite countertops, and a large walk-in shower with a linear niche. A small higher window ensures privacy while keeping the space bright and airy.
Mudroom & Laundry with Dog Wash Station
Everyday Function Made Beautiful
The mudroom lockers in Sherwin-Williams Evergreen Fog provide everyday organization. Nearby, a laundry dog wash station keeps paw prints under control — and has already proven its worth!
“We’ve used it four times in our first week here — it’s a lifesaver.”
Guest Suite & Family Spaces
The first-floor guest bedroom doubles as an in-law suite with a full bath and optional private entrance. Upstairs, a bonus loft provides a hang-out spot for teens, while each bedroom showcases personal style — from a blue-gray boy’s bath to a lavender-and-white girl’s room.
A smart Jack-and-Jill bathroom gives each daughter her own vanity while maximizing storage and charm.
Farmhouse Exterior & Curb Appeal
Paint and Materials
- Brick Color: Bayou Mist, a subtle lime-washed hue
- Main Paint: Sherwin-Williams Pure White
- Front Porch Ceilings: Sherwin-Williams Atmosphere (a soft blue)
- Back Porch Ceiling Finish: Stained pine tongue-and-groove for warmth
- Son’s Room: Sherwin Williams Naval
The result is a classic Southern farmhouse exterior — bright, timeless, and welcoming.
“We bought this land when we were newlyweds, planning to build someday. Now that dream finally came true.”
Key Takeaways from the Century Oak WD5002
