Thank you for these tips in a short and concise video!
You're so welcome!
Lots of beautiful inspiring pictures and tips packed in this video, thank you!
My pleasure! So happy liked it!
I was just enjoying a fika without realizing I was enjoying a fica! Thank you for the extra bit of education. It's good to know that I've been indulging in slow living for some time although trying to get members of my family to slow down has been a somewhat larger challenge. I love all the elements involved in this movement as there is no one look or way to do this but as many looks and ways as there are people! Thank you, Liz, for your wonderful videos and advice!
You’re so welcome! ❤️
I just want a medium beige to paint an entire off (walls, book built-in and trim) that's not grey but also warm. Why is it so hard? 😫
Very nice presentation. ( Not much money for any of these ideas, but, they are still food for thought!)
Love your channel. Thank you for all that you inform and inspire👏🏼
It's my pleasure! I'm so happy you're enjoying the channel!
Loved all the home decor scenes!! I usually slow down with a cup of coffee and a cookie or croissant. Naps are good too.
I thoroughly ENJOYED… this video!! The NEUTRAL DECOR & CALMING inspirations!!! Thank you for sharing!!!🤍🤍🤍
My pleasure! I’m so happy you enjoyed it!
FIKA! I have been enjoying this concept for years. No paper cups or drinking on the go but relishing the moments. Hot coffee in the colder months, and iced coffee in the warmer months.
I enjoyed this video....thank you! Going for a fika!
My pleasure! Enjoy!
I’m so here for fika!
Such a calming video! Now it is time for a fika❤
I feel like I went to a yoga class! Peaceful, calm and centered. Great tips, Liz! Now for me to go out to sweep the awful cicada brood on the walk and driveway. Its bad here in IL. Cant wait till they're finally gone in July. Not calming at all! Enjoy your weekend! 💚🌿
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it 😊 Sorry about the cicadas.
Hi Everyone! I hope you enjoyed this video on slow living and how our homes can help on the journey. Please let me know your thoughts! I hope you're having a beautiful day! ❤Liz
This was specific and helpful. Thank you for the design tips.
My pleasure! I’m so happy you found it helpful.
yes on quiet luxury! right up my alley!!
Agreed! Modern farmhouse is timeless...I love it🥰
Whoever came up with open concept must have fallen and hit their head. You could not even give me a house that is open concept. Who wants a Kitchen in there Livingroom, give me a wall and separate all the spaces. I do not want to be relaxing in the Livingroom watching TV and hear people in the Kitchen rattling dishes, pots and pans and talking, or a dining room in your Livingroom and all you hear is people sitting around the table talking. What a stupid design, each room needs its own space with walls and entry ways, maybe with doors, you can decorate each space with the theme of that space. I do not like sitting in the Livingroom, look to my left or right and see my Fridge and a Kitchen counter, how stupid is that.
Wow! TY for the fantastic advice! Never thought about paint color helping or hindering sleep. I’d love to see video on window treatments for high ceiling rooms with windows that have a transom window above them. TY!
My pleasure!
Would swiss coffee work in an open concept space with lots of light & high ceilings (French oak wide plank floors)?
Swiss Coffee is really versatile, a little on the warm side. I think it would look great but you have to test it out in your space.
These were all great suggestions! Love your videos…
Thanks so much 😊
I live in a farm house so it’s hard to avoid. I’m not into trends, so you’ll never see farm signs or barn doors in my home. It’s pretty obvious where I live! I’m keeping my neutral palette with its touches of green in cushions, bedding etc, which reflect the environment in which I live. For me subtle decor is key.
My POV…Farmhouse, modern farmhouse, any farmhouse is on the outskirts of true home design. Shiplap,paneling,barn doors , whitewashed wood (gray/taupes) are well loved by many but uninteresting.
What a great video! I agree with your assessment, Liz. No need to throw the baby out with the bath water. But I do think any farmhouse style looks out of place in the city or suburbs. We just bought a farmhouse on ten acres in a rural, agricultural area. I’m looking forward to finally using some of my antiques, but I’ll forego the word art and barn door - except on our barn itself!
Modern farmhouse can be incorporated into most styles, especially Scandinavian which is my favorite. I had to use a barndoor for our master bathroom because of a design error in our new home. It worked out fine as there are plenty of styles to choose from.
Another great video. Thank you! I have a home in the country and I lean towards some elements of modern farmhouse. I love textured blends of neutrals that look warm and comfortable, but really don't like the use of heavy black metal fixtures or distressed finishes on furniture. To me, the good parts of modern farmhouse are the tasteful but practical use of natural materials with contemporary lines. I suppose that my version of modern farmhouse is very close to scandi or organic modern.
My pleasure! So happy you enjoyed it!
I think the elegance look is moving in. Gold is featuring a lot in hardware and picture frames. And the dark colour walls and the antique look are in. Still cosy like farmhouse but with an elegant, expensive look.
The farmhouse style has a lot of common with the Scandinavian one: real timber, light colour pallet, use of metal details. But it seems to me that in the Nord they look more refined.
I was late to the farmhouse trend and love it!! I always liked a country look and feel and I think farmhouse was born there. I don’t care for the worded signs but I do like some industrial accents. Also I really enjoy your channel!! Thanks!!
My pleasure! So happy you're enjoying the channel. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
I love farmhouse - always have always will -
My friends have a barn door on their powder room. It doesn't lock. 😱😱😱😱
Love your videos and your white blouse. So classic.
Thank you! I’m so happy you like the videos!
I think you're spot on! Farmhouse style is evolving with the times: vertical shiplap, not horizontal, less metal, less barn doors and no word art.
Farmhouse of any type is not my vibe. I don’t think it’s dead tho. Those who really love it will continue to love it. It just won’t be so over saturated in the stores.
I’m a mid-century girl myself, but I’ve definitely seen some beautiful farmhouse looks that felt like a warm cozy hug.
I just realised that I am a farmhouse girl 😊 love it
I don't have it in my house, but I still like it when I see it. There are so many variations of it. I don't think it will ever be over. 🌼
Good morning, Liz 😊 I like modern farmhouse myself, however I don't care for industrial mixed with. I say leave industrial for its place, it's cold in feel, from my perspective. Modern farmhouse is very comfy and inviting!
Good morning, Gina! Totally agree on the industrial elements. I'm happy to see they're fading out.
Enjoyed the video. I don’t care for the original Farmhouse, but the modern Farm house elements I enjoy. Warm, cosy and inviting. I just avoid things that are cutesy and overdone.
So happy you liked it! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Excellent video!... blessings from NYC ❤
Glad you enjoyed it! ❤️
Hi Everyone! I hope you enjoyed this video on Modern Farmhouse design. It's had a long run and many in the design community say it's dead. But it has a lot of timeless elements so I think we'll feel its influence for quite a while. I'm dying to know what you think. Do you love it or are you over it? As always, have a beautiful day! ❤Liz
beautiful plants!!!
Thank you!
amazing love it
