How I styled my "Normal" home.
I wanted to share how I have styled my normal home. As a lover of all things DIY, furniture makeover projects, vintage finds, bohemian anesthetics as well as farmhouse, I wanted to style my home with the things that I love. A few years ago my husband and I started to remodel our main living room, dining area and a kitchen. We first started out by upgrading to vinyl wood planks. We agreed that we were going to repaint all of the interior walls white and that I would be pulling color in from the wall decor, curtains and so forth. My house is my canvas, a space that I display my creative projects and that represents our style of living. The pictures that I have shared you will find a dresser that I refurbished, stripped down to the raw wood, painted and added some boho wallpaper. The curtains that you see in my living room I made with painters drop cloths. The old picture in the dining room above the dresser was a picture that had been in my grandmother's farm house for many years which I also refurbished. I repainted our fireplace which was all gray however I wanted to bring a different look so I decided that a flat black was the tone that I wanted to give that living room. In the dining room/kitchen area repurposed a floor shelf by mounting it to the wall to provide additional shelf space and I decided to add an old baby changing cabinet which was my step daughter's when she was little underneath that shelf. I repainted the cabinet and added wheels to the bottom so that it would serve as both a storage area and when needed a kitchen island. The best way I know how to describe my style is vintage farmhemian. One thing that I can suggest to anyone who is remodeling their home, try thinking outside the box and remember there's no rules to creating a space where you are surrounded by the things you love.
When it comes to styling your home, embracing a personal touch can make all the difference. The 'vintage farmhemian' trend merges vintage aesthetics with bohemian flair, providing a unique approach to home decor. Start by choosing a color palette that resonates with you; whites and earthy tones often work well as backdrops. Incorporate DIY furniture projects, like refurbishing old dressers or cabinets, to infuse your space with character. Consider mixing modern pieces with vintage finds for an eclectic style. Thrift stores or flea markets are great places to discover hidden gems like wall art or decorative accents that tell a story. Don't shy away from using unexpected items as decor—think outside the box! For example, transform a vintage ladder into a bookshelf or use a wooden crate as a side table. Creating a home is about more than just beauty; it's about functionality too. Maximize your space with clever storage solutions, such as mounting shelves and using multi-purpose furniture. This will not only keep your home organized but will also enhance the overall aesthetic. A thoughtful approach to interiors, combined with your unique style, can transform any space into a reflection of who you are. Remember, there are no strict rules—let your imagination lead the way!
