W

hat’s better than a twin sister? A twin sister who shares your love for

farmhouse style, of course. Idaho natives Elizabeth Olsen and Margaret Nash

have made a business out of transforming secondhand finds into treasured

pieces. Having grown up as two of nine children on their family dairy farm,

Elizabeth and Margaret learned the value of resourceful home décor habits

when they were children. Now as adults, they find inspiration in their mother’s money-saving habit

of furnishing their childhood home with thrifted finds. The sisters blog about upcycling furniture on

their blog, Fancy Farmgirls, and host a biannual barn sale out of Elizabeth’s home, where they sell used

furniture pieces they’ve personally transformed.
