SEE THIS HOUSE: WEEKEND COUNTRY CHIC!

October 21, 2011
  • Share
Living room in a farmhouse with an ticking stripe armchair, throw, wood floor and wooden cabinet

I really like this Hudson Valley farmhouse designed by Sisse Jonassen of SJ Interior Design and photographed so wonderfully by Emily Gilbert.

I need a weekend house…some place to get away during the fall and winter…to cozy up and do weekend things. Instead, I am stuck in my tiny tiny tiny cottage in the Hollywood Hills this weekend dealing with plumbing problems and sliding hillside issues…oy va voy…oh did I mention the fence that is in desperate need of repair?

I need a weekend getaway place…a place with no errands, no to do lists, just me, friends, several magazines and a good book (yes I said a book), with the only thing on the list is planning fun lunches and dinners with friends/family…oh my dog Mr. Boo could come too…

Living room in a farmhouse with exposed beam ceiling, a fireplace with a wood mantel, wood floor, a long white sofa, a reclaimed wood coffee table and two modern burnt orange armchairs
Dining room in a farmhouse with wood floor, reclaimed wood table, modern white seats, exposed beam ceiling and white pendant light

What do you think of this farmhouse? I really like the exposed beams and love the mix of traditional and modern in the decor. Nicely done.

Where do you go to get away on the weekends?

Happy Friday!

    Ms. Coco…you and I think alike!! I made my escape from the commute and the mad corporate world to a beautiful Victorian farmhouse on the high Kansas prairies. It has actually been more of an adjustment than I could have ever realized, due mostly to the lack of take-out and other conveniences that I am used to. But, hey, everything is a tradeoff. If you really want to get away for a weekend, com’on over to our developing B&B and help me decorate and plan. We are located @ http://www.toadhillgardens.com Love your blog!!

    That first image is my favorite, but I enjoyed so much about all of them. The mantle surprised me by being something I actually like…As for a weekend getaway, I think that is perfect. Any longer and, well…don’t we need vacations to recover from our longer vacations?!
    Have a great weekend!

    Very nice! I love the eclectic mix of modern, traditional and rustic. We did some work on our fence this weekend, but I bet you don’t have a goat climbing over yours! 😉

Before you start moving furniture, ask yourself thBefore you start moving furniture, ask yourself these three questions:
Does this improve the room’s function?
Does it create a better focal point?
Does it make the space easier to walk through?
If the answer is “no” to all three, maybe it’s just the rearranging itch talking. 😅
Save this for the next time you’re tempted to move every piece of furniture in your house.
Watch to the end to weigh in. Clogs or no clogs? TWatch to the end to weigh in. Clogs or no clogs? They are on sale...not sure.
Summer sale season is here, and we are not holding back. 👏
This is the time of year to finally grab those pieces you’ve been eyeing all season. The good news? Major markdowns are happening right now across some of the best brands.
Our tip: Shop with intention. Know your palette, know your fit, and choose pieces that work with what you already own, not just because they’re on sale.
We’ve already done the hard work and created a Summer Sale Shopping Board filled with our favorite finds. A Shopping Board is like your own storefront. It’s a curated collection of products you can shop yourself or share with others to earn when they purchase through your links.
✨ Want to make it yours?

Or grab the link here 👉 https://www.chirpyest.com/s/cocoedit/summer-sale-2026/2071?mode=share
From there, you can shop the collection, share it with your audience, earn from your recommendations, and get cashback on your own purchases. 💛
This is the house that stopped us mid-scroll and k This is the house that stopped us mid-scroll and kept us there.
A 90s home in Amman, Jordan, entirely remodelled by local artisans. Neo-Florentine bones, Levant-eclectic sensibility, arched passageways, and a flea-market-meets-commissioned-art collection that makes every wall feel intentional.
What makes it work: restraint where you’d expect excess, and boldness where you’d expect safety.
This is what happens when a home is built by people who actually know the place. 🖤
Save this, it’s a masterclass in culturally rooted design.

Panic mode activated!
If you only have 10 minutes, focus on these three things:
1. Make the bed. It instantly makes the whole room look cleaner.
2. Fold or straighten the throw blanket and pillows.
3. Clear visible clutter from nightstands and the floor.
That’s it. Those three steps make the biggest visual impact without deep cleaning.
Save this for the next time you need a fast bedroom reset. 🔖

Black is not a bold choice. It’s a neutral, and one of the most versatile ones in design.
The rooms that get it right treat black the same way others treat white or greige: as a foundation that lets everything else breathe. The texture of the wall. The warmth of the wood. The drama of the marble. Black doesn’t compete, it amplifies.
Save this the next time someone talks you out of going dark. 🖤
