There are so many great farmhouse styles and designs by so many of our fantastic Workshop members! I love how Farmhouse-style homes are full of character and personality. From exposed beams and reclaimed materials to unique architectural details, they often possess distinctive elements that give them a one-of-a-kind feel. This style is also versatile and can be adapted to different interpretations. Whether you prefer a more traditional farmhouse with a gabled roof and white siding or a modern farmhouse with clean lines and contemporary finishes, there are various ways to incorporate farmhouse elements into your home.
