When it comes to farmhouse design, a newly-constructed home is not necessarily a bad route to take. There are many advantages to starting fresh and adding in this those much-loved, rustic elements as you go. First, you don't have to deal with dated electrical work, layers of wallpaper or the question of if there will be hardwood floors beneath those well-worn carpets.
Second, you can take the design in any direction you choose and aren't limited to "making it work". For Jill, the voice behind 'The Wooden River Home', she easily transformed her contemporary space into a home with character, texture and lots of vintage and reclaimed finds.

She even added a little shiplap for texture and rustic charm in the open concept kitchen/living room. In fact, with its soaring ceilings and neutral color palette, this multi-purpose space is one of the most impressive in the home. It is sure to have Instagram viewers drooling over its exposed ceiling beams and spacious, open feel. One can imagine that it would be difficult not to be the go to spot for birthday parties and BBQ's with a room like that.
The shiplap feature wall at the far end of this open concept space draws the eye upward to the rustic wood ceiling beams above.
The fireside room, directly off the kitchen, is the ideal space to host family suppers and yearly celebrations.
The elegant dining room gets a touch of rustic decor with a farmhouse table, decorative tobacco basket and wood and metal shelving.
This room features lofty bookcases accented by rustic wood planks. The french country accent chair provides a comfy spot to relax with a cup of coffee.
The guest bedroom remains simple and uncluttered with soft, white bedding and a textural wall hanging.
Neutral accents and a decorative paint application make this master bedroom exude calm and relaxation.
