Designing with Colorful Metal Pendants

Colorful metal pendants are the perfect lighting choice for a quirky, modern farmhouse that reads both timeless and unique. By incorporating pieces that represent a wide array of styles, you’ll achieve an elevated version of a rustic modern space. For an easy way to get the look, add metal pendants in a bold hue to above a dining table, kitchen island, or your bathroom vanity. Or opt for an eclectic bedroom with bright pendants over your nightstands.

Sage Green Dining Nook

A sage green and beige color palette for a dining area is timeless, but give it a little more personality with some fun removable wallpaper. This large scale gingham print is a great blend of modern, traditional, and rustic. Using furniture and accessories with that same style mix creates a cohesive yet personalized dining nook.

Crazy for Checkerboard

Checkerboard can work for so many different styles and color palettes, from bold and colorful to soft and muted. A pale white and gray checkerboard wallpaper adds a hint of pattern and excitement, while still being neutral. Or add a pop of color in home decor and accessories that are easy to change out.

A Cottage Living Room – Two Ways

Looking to create a cozy and charming cottage-style living room but not sure where to start? Try picking one piece of art that embodies the cottage vibe and building the rest of the design around it.

It was so perfect that it inspired two designs – one with a cheerful vintage vibe and another with a moody contemporary vibe.

Vertical Shiplap for a Modern Cottage Design

Vertical shiplap (or paneling) is an affordable and easy way to add cottage charm to any space. In addition to the cozy texture it creates, it has the ability to make a room look taller by drawing the eye up. The most popular designers like Jean Stoffer and Shea McGee are fans of the look, so you know it’s good!

I’ll recreate a stunning inspiration kitchen using all affordable materials to prove it!
