Farm to Table Trend
Backyard Chickens Trend ????
We get some popular lingo from chicken life.
Fly the coop
Ruffled feathers
Shake a tail feather
Hen pecked
Pecking order
Cooped up...are all happening in backyard chicken pens taking over rural and urban dwellings.
Back to Basics is a lifestyle trend that people are craving in our overly stimulated technology age. The yearn to unplug and connect with nature is catching on. Community Gardens are attracting residents. Farm to table is only growing!
I must admit. I too am a crazy chicken lady. I have 13 sassy chickens that give my family and friends beautiful organic rainbow eggs. We also have over 18,000 bees ???? for our garden and for local honey.
Today I’m sharing with you 4 back to basics hard and soft surface flooring looks that complement this homestead style for your next project.
Tile
Farmhouse style lends itself toward old world brick and brick pavers. Not only are they beautiful but they’re practical. Porcelain insures it’s suitable for indoor/outdoor use. Color is very forgiving if you’ve been working hard on your garden or with your critters. Be as creative as you want with the pattern installation and coordinating grout choices.
EVP
Wide planks. Hand-scraped texture. Multiple hues and colorations. Waterproof and pet proof. This is a winner for any homesteader to clean up after a hard day’s work. Muck boot approved!
Light or white washed hardwood
Farmers used powdered lime (limestone) to white-wash their homes and fences. Then, they did this because it was safe for animals, effective, and inexpensive. The whitewashed look is on-trend today. You can achieve that clean minimal look on your floors, walls, ceilings, and island fronts for a new twist on shiplap. And in herringbone? (Shut up!!!)
Tonal Carpet
Durability and cleanability is key with carpet today for high traffic areas. And yay if it’s super soft to boot! Micro-heather/tonals cover a lot of sins in between vacuuming. One less chore to fool with today.
Do you have a modern farmhouse inspired project? Giddy’up and get your country chic on. I’d love to hear about it and take a gander. Now you are officially as country as cornbread!
Y’all come back now ya’hear,
Tracy
