I LOVE FARMHOUSE SIMPLISTIC ACCESSORIES
I am totally in love with all of these items featured in this post today. After watching every single episode of Fixer Upper, I have noticed that Joanna purchases items at antique stores,thrift shops and uses found items and architectural pieces. In return it creates a very neutral color scheme. Paired with neutral wall colors in white and gray, most accessories are wood, metal and distressed. WWW.ANTIQUEFARMHOUSE.COM is one of my newest favorite stores. They have a huge variety of found rustic vintage items. All of the items are priced reasonable and are so unique. Antique Farm House is a store with a weekly/daily deal concept so items will not always be available. View additional items specs by clicking on each photo.
Accessorizing Tips from Me:
1. Shop at thrift stores for books. Take the jacket cover off them and display in stacks. Choose black and neutral color covers.
2. When styling an end table, buffet or dresser, use items of various heights and materials. Creates more visual stimulation.
3. Group items together in odd numbers.
4. Layering- This is key. Stack a candle on top of a set of books. Place a vintage textile in a tray and then stack a rustic lantern grouping together on top.
5. When choosing a color scheme for your home, choose one with 3-4 colors and purchase accessories in those color and spread throughout the home in various ways.
