Farm Style in a Big City
Wide open spaces. Orchards. The rustle of wind in the trees. I’ve been craving these things lately, so much that I’m beginning to wander if I need to consider moving to a home with a little farm or garden. At the same time, I do love my big city apartment and all the excitement being in a place like Washington, DC brings.
So instead, I’m considering injecting some old-fashioned farm style into my current pad, starting with a wood farm table. Wood and I have a love affair going on. I wonder if it’s because I’m an Earth sign — it just sings to me. The creativity flows when I write at a wooden desk or table. And the more rustic, the more enchanted I become.

You make me dream with this post, maybe because I’m an Earth sign too (Taurus)! :)))
I love tranquillity, but as a 30 years old, I love also the dynamics of the big cities. I would love to live in a small and delicious house immersed in nature… one day. For now I’m enjoying my Milan’s chaotic life :)
We Earth signs just totally connect to natural materials, don’t we? Our dreams sound so similar, Natalie. I’m constantly torn between a big city and quiet country home. But I do think that we can have the best of both worlds if we want to.
I am in love with these two pictures. As someone who lives in the country, I have always loved the simplicity you can find in some of the homes here. I love the idea of having a home filled with wood and light, there’s nothing that looks better to me than those two things combined!
I’m in love with rustic tables. I’ve decided it’s a must in my house. My sister in law has one and I love taking photos on it.
I feel the same about spaces filled with natural wood and rustic fabrics–burlap, lace, linen, muslin. It’s like I’m home and settled and I can write or create for ages, or simply curl up with a story and a cup of tea. Someday I’ll have a home to fill with them…until then, I keep the stack of secondhand tea towels and lace folded on my desk.
Sounds like a sensational plan! Agreed re: wooden tables and creativity. Funny that!
I’m sitting at a big wooden farm table at my city apartment right now so I think both of us must have excellent taste. Let me know which one you end up getting
i love wooden tables. i have been eying a few but have not found anything that i love. this one is nice.
