FARMHOUSE FRIDAY ~ RESTORATION IDEA HOUSE TOUR

Front Door

Farmhouse Restoration Idea House Tour ~ SOUTHERN LIVING
Southern Living always has beautiful home ideas.  I hope you enjoy looking at this weeks farmhouse as much as I did.
These ideas from our first-ever renovation of a historic home offer inspiration for floors, ceilings, and everything else.

Stair Hall

Reclaim lost space under the stairs.

An upholstered chair paired with a vintage chest provides a cozy landing spot near the door.

Foyer

Foyer

A wide, dogtrot-like central hallway runs straight from the front door to the back, letting natural light and traffic flow easily.

KitchenKitchen

The main working part of the kitchen lines up front to back with twin cabinets capping both island ends and flanking the range. 

Living Room

Living Room

Start at the top.
A chandelier gives the living room a visual center.

Use the full range of neutrals.
From white fabric to dark wood, a neutral room is made more interesting when you mix various tones.

Dining Room

Dining Room

Mix the seating for a collected look. 

A combination of styles including wing chairs, a curvy settee, and burlap-topped benches circles the dining table.Dress a room in white linen.
Flowy draperies frame the dining room’s three sides of windows to soften the space. A continuous curtain rod keeps the look unfussy.

 Keeping Room

Keeping Room

Provide a hangout space.

Just off the kitchen, a keeping room adds a family-friendly spot for TV, leaving the living room neat for company.

Side Porch

Side Porch

Use rugs as anchors.

Rugs define the dining room as a separate area from the connecting kitchen and ground the arrangement of chairs on the porch.

Back Porch

Back Porch

Give your porch a center.

Visible from the front door, the back porch’s centered round table offers a pretty place for flowers or serving during a party.

Master Bathroom

Master Bathroom

Link your bedroom and bath with flooring.

Continuing wood floors into the master bath connects the rooms and warms up the space. Keep tile contained in the shower area.

Khaki Gingham Bedroom

Khaki Gingham Bedroom

Start out with a bold pattern.

In this bedroom, classic patterns directed the color palette and design style.Flank a bed with chests.
When there’s enough space, a pair of small-scale chests adds extra storage conveniently at bedside.

Americana Bedroom
