I adore Joanna Gaines country farmhouse design. What do you think of it? Or are you more modern?


I LOVE Joanna Gaines We actually went to Magnolia Market over spring break and I have a cute yellow vase from her store to put...somewhere in our house... haha

Hall tree is a brilliant idea.
Thin console table would be awesome, too Thank you!!!

Overall it is scale that you will want to consider. You wouldn't want a huge sofa in your living room area, but something with small arms and not too deep. Also, the shapes of furniture should match the space. For example, if the eating nook is square, it would suit a square or round table, centred under the light fixture. If the space is rectangular it would suit a rectangular or oval table.


We hadn't considered roman blinds, so thank you for that suggestion!!
When you say "panels," you mean curtains, yes?

We have a circular glass table with four chairs that we are planning to put in the nook, which is square. Do I need a rug under the table/chairs...?

Right now we have a small tan suede sofa and no other seating. No ottomans. No coffee tables. Nothing
