Every time I watch Chip and Joanna Gaines on Fixer Upper, I want to redo my kitchen decor to look like a farmhouse. Even though we do not live in a farmhouse or close to a farm, I still love the decorating that comes along with the old-fashioned look of farmhouse kitchen decor.
What I love about what Joanna can do is mix the old farmhouse style with a new modern kitchen. Using old farmhouse items to make gorgeous home decor items, just takes some searching for unique pieces.
