19 | O akville B eaver | T hursday,July 29,2021 insidehalton.com Real Estate Advertorial Farmhouse style homes are having a moment. Home renovation projects can help homeowners put their own unique stamp on their homes, and such projects can be both aesthetic and functional in nature. The following are some farmhouse de- sign elements homeowners can consider as they look to transform their home inte- riors with this popular style in mind. · Exposed beams: Exposed beams in- stantly evoke images of a farmhouse. The home improvement experts at BobVila. com note that this rustic renovation proj- ect can utilize real wood or faux beams that look like the real thing. Decorative beams that have nothing to do with a home's structural integrity can be installed by skilled do-it-yourselfers. However, even faux beams are heavy, and BobVila.com recommends homeowners have an engi- neer assess their existing structure prior to installation. · Distressed wood finishes: Distress- ing is designed to make something look less than perfect. Distressed wood finish- es can be found throughout many farm- house style homes. Furniture and picture frames can provide the distressed look farmhouse fans are looking for. This is a relatively inexpensive project that many homeowners can tackle on their own after watching some online tutorials that rec- ommend the right tools and techniques to get the job done right. · Kitchen sink: Many components combine to create a truly classic farm- house kitchen. But perhaps no compo- nent is more essential than the classic farmhouse sink. The renovation experts at HGTV note that a classic farmhouse sink features a deep, wide basin. Farm- house sinks are large enough to handle all the dishes that come after a big fam- ily meal. Old-fashioned porcelain sinks are worth consideration by homeowners who want their kitchen sinks to evoke a traditional farmhouse feel. · Countertops: HGTV recommends butcher block countertops for homeown- ers who favour European farmhouse style. Homeowners overhauling their kitchens to create a farmhouse feel should consider installing a large island with a walnut butcher block countertop for an authentic farmhouse feel. Farmhouse style homes are wildly popular. Some simple renovations can help homeowners with a fondness for farmhouse style bring this classic look into their homes.
