The farmhouse look

                  It is so important to get the feel of comfort along with the look that you are striving for in your home. A lot of the HGTV shows now are featuring what is called “farmhouse chic” styles. When accomplishing this look, keep in mind comfort, an eclectic look and rugged glory (rough finishes with exposed grain). Part of the farmhouse look is mixing it up. Nothing matches and you can mix in a few pieces you already have or a few antiques. The gray and white distressed tables or dark merlot color always works.

                  Here at Ford’s Furniture, we carry several lines with tables with the farmhouse look including Riverside, Harmony and Heckman. Be sure and scan their websites and find the look that works for you. Our knowledgeable sales staff can look up items and prices and help you put it all together from a design standpoint. I personally would love to help you with your home to accomplish the farmhouse look or any other look you desire. We have many new styles of merchandise in our store that has color, style and comfort.
