What’s the secret to achieving the quintessential rustic farmhouse look? Antiques dealer Susan Taggart sought to find the answer when designing her home in Canton, Ohio. Susan, who co-owns a brick-and-mortar shop with her mother, discovered that she could use her knowledge of flea her dream farmhouse—warm, affordable and rustic.
Flea market items are fun to acquire and don’t necessarily require any DIY. “I don’t repaint anything, I just find things as is,” Susan says. An item will fit in as long as it matches the neutral palette.
