Farmhouse Glam

A few weeks back I was enlisted by a Laurel & Wolf client to finish designing her dining room and breakfast nook. The client is a popular blogger with about 100K Instagram followers and had been gifted the following pieces by Raymour & Flanagan in return for a home decor feature on her blog.

Fair Harbour Seven Piece Dining Set for the Dining Area

Fair Harbour Bookcase for Dining Room 

Kenton 5 Piece Dining Set for Breakfast Nook

Although she does not mention it in her feature, she hired Laurel and Wolf behind the scenes to help design both rooms and "glam" them up a bit, with a budget of less than $5K.

Here is where I stepped in. Although I admit to you that I would have never specified these furniture pieces, I love a good challenge! Here are some before pictures of the spaces:

With super tight time, budget and vendor constraints, I got to work cozying up and styling the space. Here is what I came up with:

Although Laurel and Wolf and I didn't receive credit in the blog post for pulling this all together, it's still fun to see the results, photographed professionally! I will give us a little pat on the back for a job well done :-) Because if I don't, who will?

So, what do you think? Since we were on such a tight deadline, it looks like some of the pieces may not have arrived in time for the photoshoot, so I see that she improvised with similar, and it works well! 

I really think the rug from NuLoom is my favorite - it brings it all together with the casual warmth, texture and pattern for a boho-chic-country feel.

Farmhouse Glam Slam.
