“It’s not that life is interesting, it’s that you love life.”

What kind of life depends on what kind of attitude, and the simple and ordinary is also the most extraordinary. Life, which has no standard answers, is like a blank sheet of paper. Only those who have lived seriously know that what they get through hard work is not a magnificent experience, but peace of mind.

▲A family of five at home

Alex settled down in a beautiful lakeside farmhouse in the western United States three years ago, where she welcomed the birth of her third child. As a housewife, she started to settle here in the most economical way, buying second-hand furniture by herself, and slowly made the house her own home.

▲Outdoor scenery

Her guiding principle for home decoration is: Rome was not built in a day. Although it is a long process, she looks forward to turning every space in her home into her ideal one. Let's walk into her home together.

Simple and soft, presenting the beauty of American country style

▲Living room details

Walking into the house, the soft and comfortable white, beige and brown tones make people feel open and gentle. Here, the colors and textures of various natural materials are perfectly combined. The little daughter likes to stand by the window to watch the snow scene outside. The changes of nature are a kind of magic to them. For the hostess, being able to enjoy every moment here and spend a rare leisurely and slow time is her ideal.

▲Living room details

In terms of decoration, the hostess likes neutral, vibrant, earthy colors or elements. The simple white as the base, heavy and rustic wooden furniture, rattan elements, and gentle beige textiles create a very casual and comfortable American country home space.

Details

For this not-so-rich family, decoration is a way to continuously improve the living experience while living. For example, the stair railings were replaced only after 3 years. In this home, the staircase itself is the center of the living room and kitchen space, extending the overall sense of spaciousness. It also allows family members in different functional spaces to interact more freely.

Warm and natural, fragments of time in the American countryside

▲ Restaurant

There is nothing better than having a meal with your loved ones. The laughter and joy on the table are the best expression of life. Although the table in this restaurant was bought from buyers, and there are no expensive decorative paintings, ornaments, or artworks, the hostess still carefully decorated every corner. Pumpkins, branches, and other items that are easy to get can also enhance the atmosphere of the space, and family photos have become the most beautiful scenery on the wall.

▲Partial

As a mother of three children, her daily life is full of chaos, so it is difficult to have a clean and tidy kitchen space. However, she still tries to tidy up as much as possible, using some tablecloths, placemats, flowers, etc. to enhance the atmosphere of the living space.

▲Kitchen

This is a very bright kitchen. Everywhere you look, you can see warm wood grain and simple lines. The cabinets and countertops are all white, which makes it look more simple. The combination with the original wood color floor adds some warmth, and the overall atmosphere is just right.

▲Kitchen details

The daily life of a mother of three children can be best reflected in the kitchen. Taking care of three meals a day, day after day, the sweetness and bitterness are only known by herself. But I admire the hostess very much, she is still very energetic in facing life, food can be used as decoration, let the children participate in the process of making delicious food, and the sense of accomplishment of parenting growing up together will be greater.

Soft and original, the warm atmosphere fills the room

▲Master bedroom

This home has not been overly decorated in terms of hard decoration. It is mainly white walls and wooden floors. The furniture is all retro, and most of them were bought from second-hand flea markets. Although it is not gorgeous, the soft fabric textiles add a sense of refinement to the bold American style.

▲Master bedroom details

The hostess likes autumn very much, the air is fresh, the sun is bright, and it makes people feel relaxed. The house is also decorated with autumn style, wooden frame landscape paintings, wooden cabinets, natural rattan baskets, exuding the sweet fragrance of nature. Although there is no expensive furniture or lighting, it is gentle and comfortable.

▲Family Playroom

In a family with three little kids, a playroom dedicated to them is very important. Mom hopes that this will be a space where the family can gather together to watch movies or play games, but first of all, it must be able to accommodate their toys and imaginations, so that they can stay here for a few hours, so this space has been constantly reorganized and changed, and the current look is what both mom and children like.

Store on the wall to make effective use of space

▲After renovation

▲Before renovation

The bathroom in this house is relatively small, and the hostess chose to warm up the space by adding some shelves. These wooden shelves are not only decorative but also very practical. More importantly, they can get the desired feeling without spending too much money.

A style cannot be easily defined, and everyone has a different understanding of beauty. In ordinary people's homes, perhaps we can see the expression that best represents a certain style or lifestyle.
