First of all, what is "farmhouse chic"? and, do I have to have a farm house to create the farmhouse chic style?
Farmhouse chic is creating a way of life that is nostalgic and comfortable, modern and casual. Simplicity reigns! A reflection of you enjoying life. Easy to create using vintage building materials, or accessories, and fusing the old with your treasures of today. Hmmm... farm house?...old wooden bowls, mason jars, wire baskets filled with fruit, vintage shutters, beadboard, slipcovered sofas and chairs, farm table, and anything that reminds you of farmhouse living. Marry your vintage treasures or finds with some interesting old chandeliers, coupled with maybe some new farm style lighting pendents, white or neutral color paint, wainscotting, new or vintage cabinet pulls. Add some open shelving in your kitchen to display your old jars or bowls, fill them with fruit, nuts, spices or whatever you like, vintage oriental rugs, door knobs,maybe a whitewashed old dresser, chair, or cabinet and presto!!! Farmhouse chic!
and...no, you do not have to live in a farm house to inspire this style..just the desire to create it!
