American Farmhouse Style – August 2019

favor of timeless looks. It’s easy to get caught up in trends, but the

elements that are most important to you are probably timeless.

The backbone of Elizabeth’s home comes from her beloved

farmhouse style. The hardwood floors, shiplap accent wall and

open floor plan in the kitchen imbue her home with farmhouse

charm. Elizabeth, who says she “brought some colonial style home

to Idaho,” mixes an East Coast-inspired look through the spaces

with her use of bright whites and a clutter-free style.

Elizabeth believes that when it comes to lights, “bigger is

better,” so she mainly uses oversized, lantern-like lights. She also

adds an industrial edge with her metal, open-look chandeliers

that “complement the traditional farmhouse elements.” As for

color, Elizabeth accents the white interior with grays and blues.

Most notably, she shows off a dark-blue accent wall in several

rooms to weave a consistent color palette throughout the home.

From their front porch, Elizabeth and

her family are able to look out on their

4 acres of land. On the porch, Elizabeth

was mindful of keeping a consistent

color palette that would introduce

guests to her home’s style.
