Is this your second thread complaining about farm house style or is there another bARF.commer who hates farm house style too?
 It really must offend people. |

Farmhouse is a rejection of 80s-90s Maximalist Mcmansion. Maximalist is a rejection of Midcentury, which came about due to shortages of traditional building materials in Europe post WWII. Anyway, Midcentury had some very practical and cool design themes, and I also can't wait until Farmhouse is relegated to history.

Is it okay if my shitty farmhouse has been a shitty farmhouse for 170 years?
or do I need to tear everything out and make it look like the set of Frasier? |

My house is grey inside, but that's because i have 18' ceilings and tons of windows. Darker colors are useful for contrast in big bright rooms. Then again, I also have really nice cofferred ceilings and trim work too, so it all works well together.

The middle age ladies love that shit though. The white paint they use sucks. Wears too easy.
If it makes the bride happy, what the hell why not. Its growing on me. I’ll say that. I do know for a fact though that I do not miss the real light wood colors from the 90s. |

Gotta love those sliding doors, the ones that run on the tracks with big rollers and don't actually close but kinda of hang there loosely. They provide you with so much privacy.

I am fine with real farm houses. The ones in a residential neighborhood like something out of the Truman Show, made to look "farmy" are stupid.
Don't get me started on buying new furniture that is painted to look old.

I guess I'm tired of how overly utilized the look is especially in very nice looking homes.
Having grown up in a real farmhouse, I despise the sterile un-used land un-stocked up look that has a large pantry full of empty decorative jars. I just have a creepy feeling its trying to make plain and simple stand out while actually not highlighting plain and simple have to be practical and actually used. An old farmhouse had people canning and stocking shelves for what-ifs, Growing up under Jimmy Carter, I spent my summers cutting trees and splitting firewood so it would be seasoned for winter. Our house was heated by wood furnace. It was warm but so dry static electricity would shock you with everything you touched. People that want to feel trendy about soviet-style worn in looks will be happy when their home looks the part. |

I've told my wife that "Farm house" means really shitty paint/finish job from what I can tell. That if she wants to decorate a room or the house as "Farmhouse" then I'm gonna do some "Farmhouse" drywall and flooring work.

Simple principle - avoid fake anything - wood, distressed, fur, art, etc. Avoid trends. Most of us who think we do still get caught up in them. Every trend usually has some elements worth adapting, but don't get carried away on the latest "themes" marketed on TV.

If we're going to politicize home decor I'm going with the theory that it's a rejection of socialism and a heartening back to the frontier spirit of independence.
Women wanting to have a clean, neat and easily sanitized look that can be used to cook and can food and prepare for hard times. The desire for traditional looks can encourage basic women to search for traditional values to go with them. Chip and JoJo epitomize hard work and perseverance and success. It's not the worst thing for women to want babies and a nice home. Let's also put the Pioneer Woman in there too. A show focused on cooking and taking care of a man doing agricultural work is a good thing. Regardless of the authenticity of the characters we should absolutely cheer traditional values when they are presented and successful. I mean which woman would you want to build a life with? The Pioneer Woman/Joanna Gaines or Amy Schumer? Pic your image of women carefully. |
