The farmhouse chic design style has become very popular over the past few years – mostly thanks to HGTV’s Fixer Upper. However, down here in the south, we have been loving the farmhouse chic design style much longer. You might call this a staple design for those of us in the heart of the bible belt. But now, with this style spreading like wildfire, I have been receiving so many requests for information – how to do it, where to buy the decor, etc – that I am finally caving in and giving you what you want. With that in mind, I have rounded up some inspirational rooms along with the products that are essential in achieving these looks.

So, it took a little bit of considering, but I did finally decide to go forward with writing this up. Just keep in mind, as you read this, that this is purely a statistical analysis. It is, by no means, intended to suggest that these colors are ugly.
Color is very subjective, and in the right design, any color can be beautiful. However, we must start somewhere. Therefore, I would say that you should avoid these paint colors when selling your home.
