November look
Historic farmhouse
Soft white walls, cream trim and natural wood. The calm, lived-in look of an old house that has been cared for.
What defines it
What makes it historic farmhouse
Historic farmhouse is about restraint and good bones. Walls are a chalky white, trim is a slightly warmer cream so it reads as old paint rather than bright white, and wood is left natural wherever it can be.
The details do the work: beadboard wainscot, colonial casings, two-panel wood doors, wide oak floorboards and brass hardware that will darken with age.
