4. Apron-Front Sink– choose a classic design element like a porcelain apron-front sink. Traditionally a single bowl, the style now comes in double-bowl configurations and stainless steel. Photo credit: @thehouseofsilverlining
5. Claw-Foot Bathtub– bring timeless, luxurious style to the bathroom with a claw-foot bathtub. The feet, hardware finish, and the type of rim determine whether the fixture leans modern or vintage. Photo credit: @thehouseofsilverlining
6 Barn Door– cut down on the floor space required for a swinging door with a sliding barn door hardware. Attach any door, but one with a classic X or Z pattern is particularly farmhouse fabulous. Photo credit: @studiomcgee
7. Open Shelving– use open shelving to celebrate collections and special finds. Styles include natural or painted wood or metal, floating, iron brackets or barn door hardware. Photo credit: @beckiowens
8. Exposed Ceiling Beams– add texture and warmth to any space with exposed ceiling beams. Bump up a character by installing beams made of or wrapped in reclaimed wood. Photo credit: @studiomcgee
9. Raw Brass– opt for fixtures in raw brass if you want to watch them age gracefully. Without a protective coating, the unlacquered finish patinates and shows wear that builds with every touch. Photo credit: @jeanstofferdesign
10. Shiplap– install shiplap on walls by nailing up horizontal or vertical boards with a space between. You can achieve a rustic or polished look based on the wood finish and nail treatment you choose. Photo credit: @triplecfarmhouse
