One easy way to get this look is by painting your floors (yes, your floors). It actually holds up to wear and tear much better than people think. Painting your floors can transform a space and is way cheaper than refinishing. Or try painting your cabinets -- they don’t have to be only white or wood -- you can even mix colors!
For the farmhouse aspect, keep some natural feel with weathered chairs or an architectural salvage item. As long as you’re mixing old with new, you’re on the right track.
