Hey there, Farmhouse Friends! Do you happen to have wire shelving in your kitchen pantry? If so, you can transform your wire shelved pantry into a rustic, farmhouse-inspired space with the simple addition of wood shelving. Not only does this upgrade add warmth and character to your kitchen, but it also enhances functionality by maximizing storage and organization. Whether you’re a seasoned DIYer or just starting out, installing wood shelves is an easy and budget-friendly project that can make a big impact. In this tutorial, I’ll walk you through the step-by-step process so you can achieve that charming, farmhouse look with ease. Let’s get started! WHAT YOU’LL NEED: • Shelving material (we chose ¾” pine plywood • Measuring tape • Furring strips (2 x 2 pine boards) • Drill/drywall screws…

• Cabin First. Before adding a modern touch, create a rustic cabin look. Think of wood paneled walls and ceilings, beams and posts from reclaimed wood, white and black accent pieces, as well as vintage looking lighting and decor. • Use an Accent. Elevate with designer accents such as metallic stools, or a bright pop of color like the velvet orange sofa Pascale used in the sitting room. • Brassy Finishes. Pascale strongly recommends using brass for cabinet hardware, sconce lights and mirror frames. “These finishes will introduce a classy and feminine touch,” she says. • Go Round. Using rounder shapes in a rustic cabin will soften the ruggedness of raw materials. “That will balance the roughness of reclaimed wood, raw wood and other materials,” she explains. Think of armchairs…

1. THE COLOR WHEEL: YOUR SECRET DECORATING TOOL Color isn’t just about appearances—it has the power to shape mood, energy and the way we experience a space. Understanding and familiarizing yourself with the color wheel can help you create a more harmonious home that also reflects your personality. Complementary colors (like blue and orange) facilitate bold, dynamic contrast, while analogous colors (like greens and blues) bring a sense of calm and cohesion. In the book, Annie encourages homeowners to experiment with the three different combos of complementary colors, and has also included how to seamlessly add some neutrals into those mixes. The use of the color wheel has inspired her to create her very own “Colour Triangle,” using complementary hues of paint from her line. Whatever kind of vibe or…

Down the hillside on this 10-acre southern Michigan property sits a darling she shed, built by content creator Holly Blain and her husband Jamie. Used year-round for family relaxing as well as local photo shoots, Holly creates seasonal stylings on the shed’s porch that say “welcome” in the cheeriest way. A vintage Radio Flyer wagon, weathered watering cans and blooms overflowing in an assortment of terracotta pots and planters surround a rattan swing to fashion a scene that encourages a glass of tea and sittin’ for a spell. To see more of Holly’s home and acreage, visit @rusticwildarrow on Instagram and rusticwildarrow.com.…

Downsizing the primary residence. The time in most people’s lives when they need a larger house is when they’re raising kids. Once the kids have flown from the nest, they don’t need as much space anymore, so they sell the larger house and buy or build smaller. “Here where we are, we just have big houses, it just doesn’t cost as much to have a big house,” Beth says. “I have a client right now going from 10,000 square feet to 3,000. And after my kids left, we downsized from 6,000 square feet to 2,500. I love it.” Building a large second home. While the primary residence becomes smaller, the secondary or vacation homes become larger. “I’ve seen a movement for second homes being a gathering place for family and…

Colors are a key element in a home’s design, setting the mood in each space, creating cohesion across multiple rooms, and displaying the personal style of the homeowner. Selecting the right palette for your home is no easy task, whether you are going for a timeless look or something more in the trendy lane. Pantone, with its history as a hub of fashion and design color expertise, released its 2025 color of the year—Mocha Mousse (17-1230)—as a global inspiration for color in every context. They describe it as “a warming, brown hue imbued with richness,” and say that “it nurtures us with its suggestion of the delectable qualities of chocolate and coffee, answering our desire for comfort.” Finding ways to bring this color into your home may seem challenging.

• Use Color. Modern farmhouse style leans into bright and crisp white hues. But an elevated version of the modern farmhouse look incorporates bolder shades. Which is why Shamai encourages clients to rethink their color palettes and swap out stark whites for richer, earthier tones like pops of emerald green or chocolate wood tones. • Opt for the Unexpected. This can include bold colors or unique textures. But Shamai points out that the choice of materials is also important. “Think about using materials that not a lot of people are using, like natural granite and marble.” She used a granite hood in the kitchen and a checkered marble floor in the laundry room to add an element of surprise to these spaces.…
