Our Virginia Project
Nearly ten years ago we took on our biggest design project to date; the Sommertime Project. It was a refresh for a 20-year-old, relatively young yet still terribly outdated and style-lacking, traditional house. We touched every surface of every room, mostly with paint, over 100 gallons (and counting!), new flooring, new hardware, new lighting – the easy stuff. Some spaces we laid a much heavier hand on by finishing out and/or reworking layouts, changing ceilings, and repurposing rooms. The biggest improvements, however, were the character we put into the spaces.
The Two Poppies Design team put countless hours, days and weeks into the Sommertime Project and honed and expanded our talents. This project put a new perspective on DIY - we truly worked through the projects ourselves, with little outside involvement. Take a look and see how we transformed this house into a well-loved and lived-in home with a colorful, modern farmhouse style.
Warmth is exuded from the continuous hardwood floors throughout the main floor. Neutral paint colors in the connecting spaces provide a fresh backdrop for furniture and decor.
Nothing warms a soul more than a relaxing retreat. The bedrooms and bathrooms provide restful havens to rejuvenate so the family can get back to living!
Though these spaces function as hardworking rooms in the home, farmhouse style is ever-present in the chosen materials, furniture and colors. From light fixtures to hardware to surfaces, a comforting warmth is consistent.
Living in a beautiful setting is ideal, and the outdoor spaces take advantage of that. The farmhouse look continues outside by using dark metal finishes and informal plantings.
When gathering in the home, collected displays personalize the neutral surroundings. Soft textures from rugs, window treatments and pillows compliment the varying wood tones and dark metal finishes.
Scroll through the gallery of photos to inspire your own farmhouse style. From nubby textures, dark metals, distressed finishes and pops of color, the details make the house!
