Let the sunshine in - bright and airy interiors

FREE IMAGES There is nothing like a freshly de-cluttered and scrubbed clean room that makes me feel like spring is really here.  Add open windows (love that spring air smell!) and the bright green of new growth and your home is a little piece of heaven!

Country interiors that are clean and fresh, not cluttered and frilly!

FREE IMAGES I was born and raised on a large farm in an old colonial farmhouse.  I will always love old wide plank floors, exposed wood beams, and wavy windows. That being said, I have never been a fan of "country" decorating.  Ruffled valances, roosters, chintz and faux chipping paint make me cringe.  Country can be fresh and clean and beautiful - see below...

Gotta have your florals or toile? Then keep the drapery, linens and upholstery tailored and crisp.

Keep your light upholstery for a room like the bedroom - any room close to the house entrances is more subject to the dirt brought in from gardening and livestock.

I would also save white cabinetry for a bathroom - the kitchen of a farmhouse gets far too much traffic!

I would never have the heart to touch these floors or beams, so keeping the linens and walls white keeps the space fresh.

While I LOVE white cabinetry, it's very tough to keep clean in a farmhouse.  Between farm dogs and dusty boots, go with a cream or off-white if you can't do dark cabinetry.

Ranchers with low ceilings need all the light they can get.  A white ceiling, a mirrored wall, and glass doors make the most of the light.

LOVE this too.  You don't need ruffled valances to decorate this space.  The treetops are more than enough.
