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.

Inspiration Board: Graceful Dining

Creating a graceful and soothing dining room is easy when working with a palette like this! The medley of sea foam greens, sage, robin’s egg blue, sand, and white has a relaxing effect in this understated room. A clean and simple dining room does not have to mean using all neutral tones. This is a great example of putting together a classic look without shying away from all color.

Design Tip: Beadboard Paneling

This beautiful cottage style bedroom is a perfect example of how beadboard can really make a statement. The stunning blue paint on the walls really emphasizes the horizontal beadboard wall covering, and brings a whole new level of charisma to the space. You will also notice that the beadboard is used on the ceiling as well. A small, but important, design detail in using multiple beadboard surfaces is to switch up the sizing of the panels as well as the direction that they run. The ceiling slats are smaller and positioned vertically, and the wall slats are slightly larger and positioned horizontally. This helps to break up any monotony or over-stimulation you might feel if the beadboard was the same everywhere.
