Make an Entrance
This home's facade was whitewashed for a modern—and clean—look. The contemporary white of this 1910 farmhouse is softened with rustic accents like a wooden console table, a metal catchall, and a warm yellow front door.

Eclectic Mix
In this cabin with vaulted ceilings (a farmhouse style staple), interior designer Tim Pfeiffer mixes furnishings from various eras in his living room; the clean lines of the pieces tie the eclectic look together. As well as housing books, built-in shelves display nautical treasures ranging from sculptural pieces of driftwood to naval teacups.
