Leggett writes in her introduction, “The real beauty of farmhouse style—unlike more fleeting design trends—is that it’s rooted in roll-up-your-sleeves practicality. Farmhouses have been around for hundreds of years, after all, and they were designed to work hard—to accommodate multigenerational families, feed a crowd, and, yes, handle a little dirt. . . . I also suspect farmhouse style has such widespread appeal because it’s inherently inviting. It’s warm, welcoming, and thanks to its adaptability, all inclusive.”
City Farmhouse Style focuses entirely on transforming urban interiors with unfussy, welcoming, country-style decor. It’s a unique resource whether you have a small apartment or a large townhouse.
