Need to replace HVAC in an old farm house: gas, geo, or electric?
Comments (1)I work for a geothermal air conditioning company in Florida and I would highly recommend the product. They can easily be retrofitted into older homes and will probably take up much less space than your current unit. They also are quieter, have better humidity control, cut the electric bill in half, and more. Also, there is a 30% tax credit based on the installed cost of a geothermal system, so when you couple that with the energy savings you actually will start making money off of it after about 5 years. Best of luck to you! Here is a link that might be useful: Egg Geothermal Systems...See MoreNeed help with farmhouse plan
Comments (1)Well, sure, but the house plan in your link is pretty big, it just has the 2-story living room. And the house in your photo is >3000ft2 (I linked an older thread with that photo). Why not start with something closer to the size that you want? Here is a link that might be useful: Prior thread with link to floor plan for OP house...See MoreFarmhouse living room on a budget
Comments (41)Gang, tell me if I'm being fair about this. I've been looking through some of these Modern Farmhouse photos, and one thing I'll say about them is that they all seem to be lightened up like crazy. Take a relatively light-colored room, remove anything with color, position an extremely bright light behind a window covered with some kind of gauzy curtain, blow up the exposure, and "click!" Modern Farmhouse! Don't get me wrong--I love the look, but I think a lot of these rooms are heavily staged, and without a ton of light will look much duller and more ordinary in person. So Kent Warren, if you're thinking "Gawd, why can't I achieve this glorious look," it might be that nobody can achieve it unless they have a film crew standing by. I definitely think you should keep going, but be careful to go a bit more by how you feel about the space, and a bit less by how it compares to curated photos. That's not true for every style, but I think for this Modern Farmhouse style, feel might be just as important as look....See MoreI need ideas for this room. I’ve been trying to go farmhouse but I’ve
Comments (13)Pleasant looking room. Liking all the natural light potential. You might consider wood or faux wood vertical blinds for the window wall. Would add more wood vibe to the room and offer more options for light and privacy control . https://www.blindster.com/vertical-blinds/faux-wood-vertical-blinds/ Plants give a farmhouse vibe. You'd have more room for plants if your loveseat were not backed up to the window -- not just plant shelf/stand sitting on the floor but brackets with hanging baskets of the plants you really like that will get enough sunlight from your windows. Having your loveseats facing one another set at each long end of the rug with only a table and lamp between the one side and the exterior wall would be worth trying ... setting the front feet of the loveseats on the edge of the rug. If you draw, to scale, on graph paper the size/shape of the room with all its fixed features (windows, doors, fireplace, etc.) indicated, you can draw and cut out the size/shape of the furnishings you have and and see what works without moving the actual furniture. Taller thinner wood or metal post table lamps with medium/large white shades could help lighten the room ... and have a less formal vibe than the ones you are now using. An "industrial" style could work....See MoreAnna Auzins Interiors Ltd.
