Farmhouse doesn’t have to be trendy for people to still love it. People should stop following trends and think about what they love and what makes them happy. Life’s too short to worry about what others think.

[@angeliafranklin5859]

Absolutely agree.

[@Sarah_Kilmer]

I totally agree

[@ShelleB]

I agree. Buy what you like but keep an eye towards timeless silhouettes and quality. One can’t afford to throw out multiple decor pieces every time the wheel turns!

[@katen1228]

❤️❤️❤️❤️ Absolutely!!!

[@dwana3292]

If you don't like my decor, you know where my front door is!

[@hollyjohnson9214]

Great video. Sadly I feel like the "modern farmhouse" is leaning more towards the boho trend. I will stick with my hardcore farmhouse style even if it is no longer trendy. Thanks for all the great info.

[@Christinalovespink91]

I like modern farmhouse bathrooms but that's it lol

[@wendymtzc]

I feel like I’ve never been able to fit in a particular category... I like traditional with modern and farmhouse touches and lately I’m loving vintage... I’m like all over the place 😁

[@CG-mj8tk]

Same!!

[@cassieb1860]

I have been more cottage farm house for my entire adult life, since so do live on an actual farm. I so miss Cottage Living Magazine. Beautiful antiques, rich woods, vintage linens, vintage dishes. Natural materials and nothing mass produced. It is such a comfortable lived-in look, and oddly everything works together.

[@gwenwade6059]

Buy Country Living from England. My daughter bought an annual subscription for me. Wonderful. I reread them seasonally and randomly. Nothing new under the sun. English Heritage rules.

[@loriperkins90]

Yes! I too miss Cottage Living magazine. It was my favorite home magazine. And I do think that British decorating seems more authentic somehow. Fewer chains stores maybe?

[@mschenandlerbong8539]

I feel like Mcgee is their own style and barely nods to farmhouse anymore. Is very preppy and i don’t think off farmhouse anything as preppy. It’s like, structured natural. Natural colors and materials, but with nice tight lines.

[@thnkgod4victoria]

Agree, she is way more Transitional than anything. Farmhouse is a stretch in my opinion.

[@DGKED-td7mf]

Never really gone for trends , I just pick and choose bits I like from everything. I guess if you had to nail me down it would be Transitional Rustic Modern? I am a minimalist, love clean lines but am crazy for natural wood . I feel Navy blue and gold finishes need to stay in yachts and out of the kitchen, at least in my house. But people should just pick their own styles what fits their life

[@nomiym1]

100%

[@sheilafae]

Could you at some point discuss Traditional decor style? With farmhouse, modern farmhouse, mid century modern and bohemian style being so prevalent, I’m sort of at a loss as to what is considered Traditional.

[@CheeseBae]

Traditional is, basically, any style of decor before WW2. In reality there wasn't a clean break before and after the war, but it's a good rule of thumb. Part of it had to do with anger at Europeans after another world war, and the USA wanted to develop its own sense of identity instead of copying the styles of European kings and dictators. That's one big reason why we have more modern here than in Europe. The more modern European cities were generally also the ones that suffered the most damage during WW2.

[@maryford2761]

😳 I’m modern farmhouse?! Who knew? I live with what I love and don’t worry about what to call it. I like the ancient urn looks, but that comes from my art history side. I’ve been using baskets for over 25 yrs. I like a clean, uncluttered look.

[@Tuskenknits]

Joanna Gaines’ style has also evolved more this direction. I love their new studio building with the natural wood cabinets. It feels so cozy and approachable. Studio McGee is very chic and balanced, but too modern for me.

[@tammieellis5129]

Agree! I think she’s off when it comes to the queen of farmhouse … Joanna Gaines is still “in style” and will continue to evolve.

[@LarryBill-ei8kh]

Hello Marla how are you doing hopefully you are doing good??

[@bluesky7226]

A part of me loves the clean lines, but I think I am a cottage-french-english-country-southern gal. I am either confused or eclectic!💖🤭🤣

[@christineboone2850]

I love the modern farmhouse look, and all things Studio McGee!

[@jbowenandcompany]

Like you, I like some of the elements of the style combined with some traditional decor. I'm kind of an old soul so I like to combine older elements with some new looks mixed in.

[@fatfullday]

Yes! I think it creates a more unique and timeless look.

[@ACottageGirl]

Not a fan of modern farmhouse. 🙈 I watched half of the first season of fixer-upper and lost interest. 😁 I find ‘trends’ to be too easily replicated, and therefore the majority of homes {on IG and Pinterest} begin to look the same. I do think trends are helpful to begin learning how to put a home together cohesively. I love classic, traditional cottage style… my lake house leans more granny chic I suppose, my home in town more English cottage/colonial American with some country vices? I don’t like labels I guess 😉 I must have antiques and vintage, tho, with soft bits of color, always some black, and a neutral base.

[@sah3181]

[@heidicook2739]

I’ll always love farmhouse. Kind of a streamlined, simpler version.

[@countrysister700]

I think true farmhouse will endure for the many of us with rural roots (and I confess I live in the Waco area so Jo is still a thing here). Just as the '80's blue and mauve Welcome Friends geese look died, the kitchy faux Joanna too-wordy manufactured pretend farm goods will pass. Actual farm products and tools, natural fibers, and warm practical finishes in a simple style won't ever go out of style for us.

[@thecharminghodgepodgecotta8363]

The nice thing about Farmhouse that I think makes it classic is that the essence is about utility. You can design farmhouse any direction but the key is how it functions. I think one of the culprits of why farmhouse “went out” is because it got out of control being too cluttered with cutesy. Hence why it has split into Cottage (where people like character and layers) and the modern streamline that makes it look less busy.

[@sweetpeasandyarrowaranchdi8327]

One way I found to get around the clutter and be more minimalist, is to not paint everything white. If you use a cozy color, you only need a few pieces. It's easy to keep clean and feels comfortable.

[@CG-mj8tk]

Yes I see lots of useless clutter in many videos. Cute nonetheless! Just useless and no use IMO

[@LQOTW]

I just found your channel! I'm recently widowed, just sold my farm, and am moving to a condo in a small city. The condo was built in '96 and still retains the sad ghost of 'golden oak for everything'. So, now I'm updating the interior and I've found I really don't know what I should do because I've don't rustic farmhouse for 18 years. Aaaaack! I'm so excited yet so daunted. Lots of decisions to be made and I'm happy to have found your channel. Very helpful and informative.

[@gko818]

I am old school, I have always loved light/sheer window coverings simply because they let the light in. I purchased 2 wine barrel chairs about 5 years ago (think gentle lines and arches, and very comfortable despite the wood). Everyone laughed when I put them in my living room, with a 1900s steamer trunk between them with a piece of lace over it, a plant and some quilting books...or they used to laugh. Lol. I love this look, I agree with your thoughts on the lighting, no modern lights!

[@CG-mj8tk]

Sounds so nice!

[@athena1841]

Love modern farmhouse! I think I've been gravitating this way for a long time, rustic, and mixing old and new. It's nice that it has a name and that it's gaining popularity.

[@farmhousebuild8498]

I love how farmhouse style can be so timeless!

[@fayecoleman9384]

Modern farmhouse is always for me…Love Joanna Gaines…the feel is cozy, …reminds me of home with my family and that I’m always home with hugs and kisses …Thank you for your prospective

Hey Sarah, Thanks for the updates! I’m not a fan of the end tables, the chunky modern lighting over the peninsula, nor the subtle watercolor art work. I do love the splashes of black, the nice woodwork walls, and the rugs; I’m a farmhouse girl, but some of these new elements can be incorporated for an updated look. I would say def get rid of anything you don’t love for a cleaner look. Love your videos! 🙂

[@gwenwade6059]

I also love the traditional style with a touch of vintage farmhouse items. I don't like copper, brass or gold...just silver or black. Thanks for informing me about how to decorate my home for years to come!

[@ChrisMedici]

This was a very helpful and interesting video. Thank you. My goal is to ensure my home and its contents/decor reflect who I am, what is important to me so that someone can walk in and look around and get a sense for the person that lives here. Rather than confine myself to a specific category, I like to blend various elements of form and function (such as farmhouse, modern technology and industrial), using natural elements to create a peaceful and joyful experience.

[@shamancarmichael5305]

I do love the clean lines and contrasting color palette, although some of these elements seem almost beach cottage to me more than farmhouse.

[@gggail]

I do like this Modern Farmhouse style and Shay Magee. I think it feels a little more cozy and warm.

[@alwaysinblue]

None of that looks like any kind of farmhouse, but it sure does look boho. I live in S/W Missouri and I can't even give a piece of black painted furniture away. We're all about super soft Interiors here and Joann's look is still red hot here, and I'm grateful for that. But, it is interesting to see what is trending in other areas.

[@amandanico8737]

I’m so glad you said that about the black windows! I always cringe when I see Instagram accounts spray painting their window frames black.

I’m really enjoying your channel, found you off Pinterest that led to your blog then to your you tube channel. ❤ The first farmhouse inspiration picture you put into this video was a mobile home! I’m a small “mobile home” channel with love for design, so I thought that was awesome! I’d say I’m into the modern farmhouse, modern organic style. Always tying to find that balance between old and new incorporating blacks, not too much or too little of decor… etc. Totally appreciate all your work to collect all this inspiration and making such wonderful videos.

I'm not one for clutter and never got in to the full on farm house style. I mix and match all styles, if I love it I put in my house and it all blends seamlessly. Love watching you. You never disappoint!

[@naeemah2027]

That would be me. I mix and match in my house. I love the old look plus some new stuff.

[@mytruenorth696]

Spot on in the timing of this video for me. I just took the quiz to discover my design style and sure enough, transitional came up for every room. Since I had never heard of this style, I had to google it. I am very drawn to the uncluttered look of this, but I don’t think I could achieve it in my home. I am a collector of things and I would have to hide it all behind cupboard doors. Big sigh….

[@alifewithluna4134]

I am enjoying the “modern farmhouse”. I’ve like that minimal look for the past 10 years. I basically like anything that looks like a shaker in this day and age would have designed and built. I also like to add touches of West Indies to this look- there’s something about them together that my eyes like

[@paml2642]

Thank you for the info on the update trend in farmhouse decor. We recently moved in to a 1904 farmhouse and I live the character here! Interestingly enough I have mixed in a few things that lean towards the “new trend” but did so because I liked those pieces💕 Like you I am a traditionalist at heart. Just want to keep the feeling of this treasure of an old home true as well as functional. NO FARMHOUSE signs here LOL! Thanks again for another great video💕

[@raggs121]

I will stay a fan of Farmhouse-not liking the modern , not yet at least. Sadly one thing about a trend is when it's over it's hard to find or more expensive. I do enjoy looking at other styles though. My home always had white walls. But hubs won this round when it was time to paint I gave in on a very soft tan on the walls. It's growing on me. My kitchen has been white for 22 years. I kept my hunter green for so long it almost came back into style. I think for me I like to rearrange things and collect vintage items. So it doesn't get boring. Chip and Jo will always be my favorite. I love your youtube page and always checkout updates from u. God bless u. :)

[@debras9020]

I live in a 1954, single level farm cottage with deep windowsills and hardwood floors. I think my style lands somewhere between American farmhouse and European cottage.

I think knowing what you love is the majority of the battle. If you love farmhouse and what you've already put together in your home, then you're set! If you still feel the draw to update or change things out, I have a video about the differences between following trends and sticking with classics, and when to do each!

[@GoldenTaco789]

I really wish this style would be more referred to as rustic luxury. Simply because I rarely find a real farmhouse thats simplistic in style and architecture. But regardless, to be positive the vibe you’re trying to achieve should be authentic to you. That’s what’s important:)

[@jillgaddis3889]

I always take away ideas even though I am not in a "style". In the 80's farmhouse, Victorian (like cottage) was the thing and I lived in an 1904 bungalow. Then in the 90's it seemed to be a mix and the type of house you live in. My now 50's house ranch low ceilings etc, screams modern-mix and so I put together what works. Hard to let go of some sentimental pieces so I guess my stye is clearly eclectic and I do my best to not be a theme (trend). I have MCM, Victorian and Swedish modern furniture and one piece from 1700s. So I try to use scale and accents to bring together and keep it from looking cluttered. Loved your mom's room you did for your church. It too was a mix and worked

What are the pros and cons of having stainless steel countertops?

[@SheHoldsDearly]

SS countertops are extremely expensive and look way too modern and commercial to me. But people do like them because they will stand up to corrosion and will resist the deleterious effects of food stains and meat juices, as well as, withstand the harsh cleaning products used in commercial kitchens.

[@DoloresJRush]

@@SheHoldsDearly I just have one counter that needs replacing that's over the dishwasher. It was added in after we moved here. Part of the front has peeled and broken off and somebody put a hot pan down on the counter from the stove which melted part of the counter-top. It's about 28 x 28 1/2 inches square (without including the back splash,) so didn't know if would be good to replace it with stainless steel too as it is between the stainless steel sink and a stainless steel cookstove. That countertop was black, but the rest of the counter-tops are cream colored and are still in fairly good shape. The dishwasher is white, although hubby is thinking of getting a new one with a stainless steel front. He's been looking at a stainless steel microwave too and a stainless steel kitchen-aid mixer. He's gung-ho for the stainless steel look. 🤓

We a 1910 Edwardian home. My decorating style is vintage French cottage with beige, warm white and spa blue hues. Not a fan of modern.

Not a fan Sarah, too new. Love 3 you tubers: You, Kelly and Andreas style. Classic, clean and comfortable.

I don’t think farmhouse went modern but modern is slumming for farmhouse “ comfort “ and truthfully, not quite pulling it off. Still lacking cozy warmth.

Unfortunately this has become a trend and everyone’s homes looks like this. I see it everywhere on instagram. I swipe up fast coz it is no longer unique

I love granny chic/french country, not such a fan of the modern/rustic farmhouse
