Farmhouse Chic

Farmhouse chic is one of the most fun and engaging styles of interior decor.  I like to start with a neutral base on upholstery and then add a mix of aged wood elements, metals and quirky accessories.   Bursts of color can come from accessories, decorative pillows, blankets and artwork.   This is a homeowner’s opportunity to hit antique markets and search for hidden treasure.   Almost anything can serve as an accessory or artwork if you have the right spot for it.

Earthy Elegance!

One of my favorite ways of spicing up a space is to add a piece or two with organic shapes.  They add a visually stimulating element among a sea of rectilinear lines.   And you can find them in any price range.  Some of the best:
