American Farmhouse Style

“It’s the highest compliment when someone tells me they feel at home here."

VINTAGE LOVE

While Linette trusts Tony’s renovation skills, he trusts her décor talents. Linette loves to frequent flea markets and antiques stores. This process has worked well for Linette as her design style has changed over time, though a vintage feel will always be a part of her aesthetic. One money-saving trick Linette loves is to shop her own home. “I wanted something different, so I scouted my own house,” she says. She’ll wander around her home to let the creativity start flowing and try vintage collection­s in different places until it just clicks and looks right.

Through trust, hard work and patience, Linette and Tony were able to create their dream farmhouse from virtually nothing and realize their goal of having a home where everyone feels welcome.
