My goodness, you are not only a master gardener, architect, writer and designer but a painter and sculptor. As an art major, I especially like the farmhouse sculpture mounted over the fireplace - it is a work of art.
You did a fantastic job curating the pieces for your living room! Well done! I love the oversized lamps surrounding that drawing you made of the gourd, so beautiful! 😀
Love it. The peice over the mantel is fabulous. Just another of your clever creations. How could one not be comfy in this room. What a great ideal for cabinet doors and the ceiling and the floor and the everything, I wanted to come for a visit and talk about the garden. You are the best.
Every inch of that room is perfect. The thought and imagination that went into it really plays with ones senses. The ceiling and wainscoting was amazing. I loved the dining chairs the color is perfect it adds so much interest to the room. I like the piece above the fireplace as long as nothing falls off. :)
I love your mantel and old farm tool sculpture piece you made. Your use of color is very nice, as well. Like the different shades of red along with the rust-orange colors
what an absolutely beautiful and charming space, soooo inviting, both stimulating yet soothing at the same time! well done P. Allen Smith, you are a true talent!
You will never be lost for conversation in this marvelous room. Everywhere you look there is something interesting to discuss! The cartouche is the perfect representation of you, making beauty where there was none, a philosophy I embrace completely.
The warmth that this room gives is absolutely wonderful. I especially enjoy what you did with the old farm tools above the mantel. I think that piece cries out farm house. The set up of the room calls to you to come in and sit a spell. I can't wait to see the rest of the rooms. Oh by the way ... the kitchen is to die for !!!!
Love, love everything in the house. Great job Allen! I watch your shows and videos all of the time. Thank you for sharing with us. Sincerely, Carolyn Brookens Greencastle, PA
i just found your site.............and im in love with your decorating style and taste!! and that you repurpose alot of your items by using re-store, re-cycle and habitat i enjoy the same type of shabby chic/farmhouse decorating style and will never pass by a tossed item on the side of the road without stopping!
I love your style. You are daring and bold with your color and mixed aesthetic’s. I tend to keep my more neutral but I appreciate your style! I love the use of old items.
Your idea of the burlap on the walls in a genius idea! I was going to put tyvek or wallpaper, then paint or fabric, to cover very rustic boards in our new old porch, but I think I might consider modify your idea a bit and use burlap then paint until we are ready to clapboard the inside of the porch. Who knows, I might love it so much I won't feel the need to do woodwork and save myself a lot of time and money. The texture looked amazing!
I love the simplicity of this room with its unique features. Red is one of my favorite colors (my kitchen was red at one time). The home sits beautifully in its spot on Moss Mountain.
Amazing. I love the colors. I really appreciate how the patterns play off of one another. The various wood elements along with their tonality. The over-sized pieces work so well together. Along with the Amber glass lamps, completely adore them. The silver mercury vessel is so modern and adds just a so needed sparkle. I have always appreciated a good red, the more shades the better. Oh yes, and the way you tied together the old tools with the leather belt, over the wonderful mantel with the excellent patina is genius!!! I love color and texture too. And, pattern. The way the coffee table top color picks up on the piping on the sofa is super. And, the finish and color of the coffee table is the same yummy shade of cream that's also on the sofa once again.
I love the sofa colours, the red chairs and the way the walls have been done with the texture etc.. I love the floor.. it all makes a really cosy looking home.
What a lovely room. It's a perfect blend of color but not over done. It's my kind of farmhouse as P. Allen Smith does an excellent job making this living space colorful n warm. Wish you could decorate my home. Love your style.
just came upon your videos - very impressive. Love your style and more importantly, your sense of caring - about aesthetics, the environment and the well being of animals. Your room is beautifully put together.
I find that some of us might have ideas to do fun things in our house but you have the guts to actually do it, as opposed to us. I love it all and all the fun fabrics and colors. Johns wife
YES my absolute favorite IS the tools above your perfect choice in a mantel, LOVE this mantel .. Into more of a colonial primitive look but the choice of color & whimsy in your room is stunning !! Love this room !
Fabulous, warm, cozy, quirky and colourful room. Oversized lamps are gorgeous. I love the red chair, the chandelier. I adore the slipcovers. Lovely room that is also livable. I'm not entirely sure about the tools display, more about safety than aesthetics, though...
The tool cartouche was the first thing I noticed...and LOVED! It is perfect for this farm house look! The rest of the room--breath-taking! I love lots of color and you definitely pulled this together so wonderfully without it seeming over done! I was shocked at the deal you got on those chairs, lol! And, your talent in art--I love your painting! The sari silk balls and the gorgeous green lamps coupled with the clever side table...ahhh...I could sit there for hours comfortably soaking it all in!!
Love the feeling you evoke with choice of color, and furniture.. The pop of red is great! I tend to stick with earth tones. The slipcovers help that easy comfortable feel. Absolutely love the tools over the mantle. That old piece of leather was the perfect touch, it wouldn't have been the same without it. My first thought when I saw this room was how I would love to curl up with a good book. You hit this one out of the park!
i love, love, love it. I love your warm colors. reds, greens, warm browns.. it so says, this is home, but this is a joyous home. thank you for bringing such beautiful ideas forth. i feel inspired and i am also jealous. Such a lovely home to live in. :)
Lisa, find a Sherwin-Williams in your area and ask the desk guy about their bonding primer. Or, you could likely find out about it online. I used it to antique a new hanging basket hook that I hung in the window of a French Country Kitchen that I did a few years ago. It bonded really well to that shiny surface and then I sprayed it with antique white crackle paint from Home Depot, as I recall. Mr. Smith--I love what you did with the joists. I need to level my very saggy second floor which will mean removing the drywall ceiling above the first floor. Dreading putting that drywall back so I may do just what you did! Thanks!
Love it. I thought the kitchen was my favorite room, but now it's a toss-up. There's nothing in the room I don't like. It's elegant, yet warm and homey. The lamps are perfect, love how the ceiling turned out, the sofa and chairs look so comfy. The chandelier is beautiful, and I love the mantelpiece.
I love this down-to-earth, inviting room! I totally like the unexpected old farm tools arrangement which is so appropriate in this style house. I like that you cleaned them up nicely first. You would think that the blue bench would not look good with the other colors you used, but it does. At first I thought it was an accent color, but then I noticed that it matches the trim on the sofa and ties in with the room. The over-sized lamps are gorgeous and look great with your personal artwork. Thanks, Allen, for giving me some great ideas for my own home.
It would be difficult for us here in the UK to contemplate a room without drapes/curtains.Are you able to do this because the windows are at least double glazed or are your winters so much more milder than ours?I certainly know that your summer was ferocious,how will the house cope with this energy wise without blinds at least? Loved the the full design and build,would love to see a detail build/renovation of a large house in real time .Thanks for allowing us to see your wonderful talents.
The farm implements are not my “cup of tea”. But I’m 80 years old, definitely traditionalist. But my years in the design field makes me open to new ideas and I want my house to reflect the uniqueness of my personality. So to each his own. Love everything else in the room. I do think the oversized lamps work because they’re transparent. Thanks for the good practical ideas you give us that we can copy or be inspired.
I love the various uses of texture in the fabric on the walls, rug, and sofa/pillows. The lighting is gorgeous and the colors are well suited for this farmhouse look, red being my favorite, but especially the green on the couch. I love everything, the only thing I don't like is the corner cabinet with the plates. I would have put in some sort of wallpaper backing in that or painted it the lime green with some red gingham patterned plates. It is a fantastic job overall!! Good symmertry but some aseymetry as well.
This room has been such an inspiration to me. I've watched it several times since it came out. I'm now building a farmhouse and this video is helping me design it.
I love love love the entire room. The tools above the mantel is unique and a creative idea. Love the lamps. I would never have thought two oversized lamps would have worked in that type of space.
I love the imaginative fabrics and the amazing wainscoting and painted jute on the walls. The overall impression, however, looks "piecey" to me. What would unify the room and make it more welcoming would be some color on the windowed walls, maybe reflecting the amber colors of the glass lamps. The lamps are big, and also need to be connected to the rest of the room somehow. i think wall color would be the way to do this.
Finally Red I see... !!! Tats my lucky color too... I have used a throw(which has different shades of red plaid)....Have used it on a plain sand brown sofa.... have laid it flat all along the back of the sofa seat...
This isn't exactly my style but I must say it's beautifully done. Love what you did to the walls (the burlap). Awesome lamps and love your painting too :))
I love the use of color.. he's not afraid of color. This room is great and I Love! the farm tool piece over the mantle! I enjoy P. Allen Smith's videos very much. This is more my style. Thank you!
My Q: when you start decorating a room and that is something that always been on my mind if i made an arrangement of old tools i will always think that in a few months i'll hate it so i change my mind and dont make it in the first place so how do you know that it will work and wont be boring in a few months?

Love all the red accents in the room. They all tie together so well. Makes it feel so comfy and fun! I do love the oversized lamps as well.
I love your mantel and old farm tool sculpture piece you made. Your use of color is very nice, as well. Like the different shades of red along with the rust-orange colors
I seriously love the old tool arrangement above the mantel! I think is so unique and stunning piece! I love that room. So cozy!

I love the whole Garden Home series but it really culminates in this video!
Wonderful, absolutely love the colors, the textures. Simple but gorgeous and very welcoming!
Love it all... but the red pots on the mantle really draw your eye to them. Awesome job!!
I love the room. I really like the old mantle and the tools displayed above.
Love those lamps! Everything you have done in this room feels comfortable and relaxed.
I love your style. You are daring and bold with your color and mixed aesthetic’s. I tend to keep my more neutral but I appreciate your style! I love the use of old items.

LOVE the farm/garden tool "cartouche" above the antique mantle! It's VERY eye-catching! I would put something like that in a garden shed! Lovely room!
dude is genius! that tool piece is incredible and so unique. I love it all. all the pops of red and those lamps....ugh.. tdf!!
This is Farmhouse Family meets Urban Elegance. I love it and it keeps the eyes engaged everywhere we look
Love this room! The creation above the fireplace is definitely a winner!!!
I like the large amber lamps! The room is very cozy and chic, very nice job.
