Modern Farmhouse Vignette

Back in December I built this shiplap display wall in our kitchen and I still love it. But for the past few months it has been completely empty as I tried to decide how to decorate it with a more every day look for spring and summer. Up until now I’ve just used it for holiday displays but I want a more chic look that really pulls our dining area and living room together. Today, I’m partnering with Better Homes and Garden products from Walmart, to create a fresh new modern farmhouse vignette in our dining area!

Since the shiplap wall is so tall and narrow, it was really needing something tall to help balance the look. I thought these rustic lamps and linen shades were the perfect addition to the space. It adds warmth and dimension.

I am a little obsessed with black and white gallery walls. Is it possible to have too many?! I love using these floating frames, they have a little more modern look to them with the open glass and guess what? They are right around $9 each!!! Such a great deal as frames can often run super pricey.

For this gallery wall, I wanted a fresh spring look that would also tie into our kitchen area. I love the look of botanical prints so I created these printables and printed them on light gray cardstock.

If you would like to use these in your own home, I’ll be sharing the free printables next week!

I’m loving this fresh new look. I think it might just last awhile this time around :)

    I love how you’ve styled this area, Taryn. You’ve done a beautiful job. And I love the BHG items you used. Just one quibble, and this is for Walmart, actually. I find on a number of blogs that Walmart product links DO NOT take you to specific product information, rather to the site’s home page. Since the marketing people are making the effort connect with blog readers like me, I recommend they fix this link problem, ASAP. In my case, I don’t have the time or desire to search through the site to find these items, no matter how much I like them.

    The gallery wall looks fantastic. You were so smart to use the floating frames because they allow your shiplap wall to show through and the black frames really pop. I also think your buffet is very cool–beautiful job!

    i really love the look of the gallery wall and the floating frames? how did you evenly space the frames and what kind of hardware did you use?

      Thanks Nina! To hang the pictures evenly, I always start by hanging the middle picture first, than place the two outside frames the same distance from the middle frame. For these, I just hammered a nail into the wall, but I do love using 3M Command Picture Hanging Strips for a lot of my gallery walls.

    This is gorgeous! I just printed off a few for a wall gallery that I’m currently working on. I’m wondering how you attached the printables to the glass in the frames without seeing glue or tape? Thank you so much for offering these up!!

      Thank you! And so glad you are taking advantage of the printables. The frames came with small two sided square pieces of adhesive that are clear. So you can put a small piece behind the print.

It’s often the final finishing touches that truly transform the vibe of a room. I picked up some final styling pieces from @wayfair , I am obsessed with both side tables. They are both statement pieces. And the personal photos, candle, heart trays and leather pillows are why bring the warmth and personal touches into this space.

I finally found the perfect family and pet-friendl I finally found the perfect family and pet-friendly sofa that passes the designer test! This is the 5-Seat Modular Corner Sectional from @7thavenueco in the color Oatmeal Beige. We ordered it in the extra-deep seat option for ultimate coziness. The material is water-repellent, stain-resistant and you can also throw all covers in the wash!

We cannot say enough great things about this sofa, we all love it and just sink into it. It definitely passes the family test. Plus, it truly is gorgeous. It looks very chic. 

Comment SOFA and I’ll send you the link to this exact one!
