Synopsis: Add rustic country charm and make home your favorite place to be. This collection of classic and modern farmhouses inspire easy and comfortable living. Farmhouse style is about cultivating connection, embracing the simple life, and bringing a kick-up-your-feet, linger-a-little-longer feeling to your home. Step inside 20 beautifully-designed homes and discover how to create the cozy and practical country vibe. An intimate look inside these homes reveals how designers blend elements of old and new and add a touch of distinctive character to every room. You&’ll tour a renovated New York farmhouse that pairs classic architecture with a fresh color palette for a hip yet historic look and discover how designer Lauren Leiss artfully refreshes a Virginia Colonial-style home with reclaimed floors and exposed beams. Plus, peek inside a ranch-style Texas home built from scratch which displays old-time charm inside and out. (Think: tons of textured cozy lived-in rooms featuring aged furniture and collections of time-worn books and oiled paintings.)Whether you are looking to upgrade your kitchen with an apron-front sink, add shiplap to your walls, or introduce flair to your living space with flea market finds, this expansive collection of farmhouses will inspire homeowners who plan to renovate or decorate a new home or make the perfect gift for anyone who dreams of a farmhouse of their own.
