  • Farmhouse is all about texture. What is your favorite color? Get a muted version of it. For instance if your favorite color is blue, try a color like needlepoint navy from Sherwin Williams. Or if it is red, try rosedust or toile red.

    Since you have entirely neutral woodwork, floor, ceiling, and furniture any color is going to stand out…even if muted.

    Recommended more than color: texture. Plaster techniques, shiplap (overdone a bit thanks to Chip and Joanna), cedar boards, wallpaper, etc. will add more to your farmhouse desires. Farmhouses are rustic so having the perfect trim, carpet, etc could handle something to contrast it.

    Just some suggestions! Make sure to post once you decide on a change :)





  • I have been very happy with my Canon RP. Mirrorless is a lot more common now and the range of lenses offered by Canon at a variety of focal lengths and price points is substantial. I use an adapter so I can use EOS EF mount lenses which helps a lot with the cost as you can buy older lenses if you want. Also you would have less of a learning curve with the logic behind the menus since you are familiar already with a Canon camera.
