Get the Look: Farmhouse Dining

The beauty of farmhouse style furniture is in the imperfections! Distressed and weathered finishing provides a lived-in and worn look, adding a unique element to the decor. This space showcases the rustic farmhouse dining table in a simple and easy manner, with the table as the focal point, and only a couple of other pieces accenting the charming table. The soft palette of linen white and cool blue allows the natural wood undertones to show through the painted finishes. An elegant chandelier in wood completes this imperfectly perfect look.

Color Board: Energetic Colors!

Are you looking for a fun and lively colorful cottage decorating palette to get a room redesign started? Look no further! This color board offers a beautiful balance between zesty orange and lime green, with a splash of powder blue. The burnt sienna printed rug (in the top left hand corner) would lay the foundation for a bold look in a living room, with the powder blue fabric for the sofa. Then, have fun with the other patterns and prints for pillows, accent chairs, and curtains! Any combination you decide on will make your space a haven for color and creativity.
