Farmhouse Style Using Pattern and Texture

I'm sharing my print and textured DIY living room.

Farmhouse Style living room with white couches and buffalo check

Welcome to my home. 

While my house is clean I'm sharing my living room today.  

Warning: My theme is lived in, there are no perfect photos or perfectly pressed fabrics in this post. 

Mantel with clock, scale and ladder

The fireplace was once brick. 

We gave the brick a faux stone overlay and added built in shelves creating a super long mantel to decorate. 

Oh and by the way... thanks DecorSteals.com for sharing my home on your website!

The shelf above the front window was added to hold my ironstone collection. 

One very long 1"x 6" sits on the window trim with small corbels holding the curtain rod.

buffalo checked pillows

I love buffalo check, they are the perfect addition to the texture in this room. 


I made a buffalo check rustic tray to match the pillows.

Neutral farmhouse living room

The ladder on the mantel is a DIY project. I made it out of scrap wood.



My sofa, chair and love seat are Ektorp from IKEA. 

I would buy them again in a split second. 

They have survived a family of 6 for years. 


The slipcovers come off easily, pop into the washer then the dryer and go back on easily. 

I've had them for years and they have no stains. 

I bought the slipcovers in dark grey and light beige so I can switch the colors at will.

The original floors in this house were replaced with a pre-finished light oak. 

The sisal rug is from Pottery Barn.

My coffee table is a second hand find I repainted using Fusion Mineral Paint.

On the mantel shelves is my vintage wedding photo display. 

I display wedding photos throughout the generations in my family.


I made-over an old hutch to create the tv stand in this room.

    Hi Susan,
    Love what you did in your living room. I had to smile as I have the same clock, the stone (with the word 'Hope' on my desk), have the IKEA Ektorp chair on order, and love buffalo plaid! All that, and the fact that we are both Susan's, well, we must be sister's:)
    Love your blog/site.
    Susan
