Hi! Hello! After a week of living in sawdust, and I’m still living in sawdust! But now we hold glorious new floors (mixed width ash,finished with oil and wax) and a new dining room table! It’s really looking great but there’s still drywall to be hung and finished, base boards to be milled and installed, or walls to be painted,new lighting, etc. We’re getting there! Wanna know where I’m going with all of this? I thought Id help myself get visually organized and share a itsy-bitsy of my vision with you guys. A rapid/fast catch up - our farmhouse was built in 1942 and a large renovation and addition was added in 1965 - which is why I call it my MidMod Farmhouse. Luckily MCM is my disappear to for furniture, or so we’ll sustain most of what we hold and add to it where we need!final week I asked for your opinions on some brands and furniture companies and heres where I stand - I bought a 1960s Broyhill Brasilia dining set off craigslist which was delivered yesterday. It’s a gloomy solid walnut and really lovely. The chairs will be recovered down the road. I also took advantage of the pre-black Friday sale at Article and bought a chair from them. I’ll hold pictures one of these days,but as I said, I want the literal dust to settle (slash be swept away!) before I do that. I also bought some rugs and a light fixture, and but I want to check the quality before I five a review (ditto on the Article chair,but you guys gave me resounding cheers for their pieces)So… here are some images that hold elements I like or a vibe I want to capture in my own home. To me, there’s a common thread in the MCM furnishing, and the natural elements (wood,plants), the bright walls and the mix of textures. I’m going to start out pretty neutral and add in color when I’m drawn to it. You can see the enormous board here whether you want to see more!And whether you want to see any of the rooms I’ve already started on, and check them out here!
