Tip 141 - CREATE KID‑FOCUSED NOOKS & CRANNIES Find room for kids and their stuff, which makes a family room all the more usable. Carve out an area for kids to have homework or creative time and seek farmhouse‑era school supplies, such as this wooden wall-mounted organizer and wire-mesh folder holders, which double as art frames. Scale down the furniture search to include a pint‑size desk or chair, for example.   155 - MIX IN METALS Metal furniture may need a good cleaning, but it can be an artful addition to modern farmhouse spaces. In fact, the worn finishes of some metal pieces help them better straddle the dividing line between farmhouse and modern. This desk piece was waxed to give it a like‑new gleam, and topped with Classical-inspired curios--statue, feather, magnifying glass--for casual beauty.     Excerpted from Modern Farmhouse Design: 300+ Ideas for Fresh and Sophisticated Homespun Looks by TBD, Living the Country Life Staff All rights reserved by the original copyright owners.
