A feeling starts to unfold, driving down the lane, gradually heading towards the 1820’s stone farmhouse rich with original details and surrounded by farmland and maple bush.
Styling is a big part of creating a space that feels good to be in. I recently styled this local Airbnb, adding some final touches that will help guests unwind, relax and enjoy their stay in this authentic stone farmhouse.

The space was carefully restored, highlighting original pine floors and exposed stone walls with a final layer of decorative pieces to complete the authentic and natural space.
A peaceful country Airbnb located in Godmanchester, Quebec.

Let’s continue inside
To create an inviting and comfortable living room, a soft textured rug was placed underneath the sofa to add a depth of color, which along with the upholstered ottoman, throw blankets and pillows, adds to the warm, casual look.
Because this property sits on a farm, I wanted to layer in subtle nods to its surroundings. All of the art displayed on the walls reflects pieces of the farm and its past.
Quiet and Tranquil
The exposed stone immediately adds a dose of warmth to this bedroom. Soft layered bedding creates a balance of textures with the stone accent wall.
Neutral tones with touches of green and blue found in the art print, greenery and bedding help define this space.
It’s important to create a bedroom that feels restful, not chaotic.

Extending the refuge
During the renovation another stone wall was also exposed in the bathroom, directly behind the large tub, creating a relaxing atmosphere.
Candles, a wooden bath tray and delicate greenery were some of the small, intentional touches included to set the tone.
Over all, the space was styled with simple pieces because I wanted to emphasize the natural charm of this house.
Bright and warm
The kitchen look is simple and inviting. The look was elevated by styling with different glass jugs and glasses, pottery and fresh produce to add depth and texture to the countertop.
Textiles and accessories add hints of color to help liven things up the natural toned kitchen.
For added interest, a small canvas was placed above the shelf. These small details pull the space together, making it feel cozy and complete.
Slowly ease into the morning at this peaceful extension of the kitchen with a cup of coffee in hand, looking out and appreciating the natural views. Savor the quiet moment.
In all simplicity
Since the dining space is positioned between the living room and kitchen I wanted to be intentional about the decor to give the space a little bit of significance in this open concept layout.
Fresh foliage clippings are displayed in a vintage vase and paired with a few candles which prompt guests to slow down, set a soothing atmosphere and enjoy a shared meal.
Colors and textures here complement the rest of the open concept space so that there’s a consistent flow from one area to the next.
It’s all in these little details that pull a space together. Throw blankets and pillows, decorative vessels and jugs to display florals and plants and unique and meaningful decorations. HERE is a list of timeless and versatile styling items to make spaces feel complete.
