Need decorating tips for your living room? P. Allen Smith reveals the finished living room that doubles as the main dining area for the home. For the living room/dining room area, the design of the room itself was just as important as the decor. Beginning with exposed ceiling joists to create a sense of height and rustic charm, the farmhouse chic theme continues on for the walls, with their painted burlap finish and wainscot made from recycled cabinet doors. As the fireplace serves as a focal point on one end of the room and the dining table on the other, both sections of the room achieve a balance of comfort and utility. Benches, slipcovered sofas and chairs, and ladderback chairs around the table provide plenty of seating, while an armoire, corner shelf, and side table allow for a range of storage options. The entire floor is covered in a tan sisal rug which gives an elegant contrast to the deep brown of the painted pine floor.

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! 😀
I love all of the colors together! Esp love the red on the dining room chandelier! And the oversized lamps! Nice!!!!
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
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.
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. :)
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.
will use the tools over the fireplace in my 1830 farmhouse ....thx really great idea
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.
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!
My house is a cluttered mess even when I declutter. Love your styles Pete. Am watching u & Rebecca fro m nz
Before you began I was already in love with the lamps!! Yes there the real deal..
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!
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!
love the arrangement over the fireplace I love everything about the farm house
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

I love the whole Garden Home series but it really culminates in this video!
This is home
Thank you for the celebrated tools on the mantle
Sigh of relief and a whole bunch of freshness on the rekline of smooth smooth sofas
beautiful!! love the red chairs
Love those lamps! Everything you have done in this room feels comfortable and relaxed.
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.
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!!
Loved the color, texture and balance.... Just amazinggggg... except those oversized lamps.... Get a feel of making room look smaller...
Love the lamps also and the floral fabric on the chairs/pillows...great job!
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.
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!
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.
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...
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?
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 !!!!
That arrangement over the fireplace is MARVELLOUS !!! Its such a good idea, am definatly copying it from you ;-)
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. :)
Charming...
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...
I seriously love the old tool arrangement above the mantel! I think is so unique and stunning piece! I love that room. So cozy!
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.
Looks good on camera its got style , but in person i bet it doesnt look that good and neither feel great when touching.
Wonderful, absolutely love the colors, the textures. Simple but gorgeous and very welcoming!
Love all of it, especially the red chairs!
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 !
Did you say the balls in the centerpiece are made of saris? Were they purchased pre-made or made by an artist on your team with purchased supplies?
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.
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 this. WOW! I bet your builders had a few jokes about what ideas you would turn up with each day! Nevertheless this is beautiful.
9 years later …. I still don’t like the chairs in red , no the corner cabinet ,no cartouche . The balls I just don’t like them I would use if anything I would like to see some red apples instead.
Paul I'm really enjoying the tour I want to know did you do 1 of these tours for the garden home retreat upon its completion?
love everything aboubt this room! !!
This room is beautiful. The only things that i might take down are the 2 oval mirrors. They take away from the creative beauty of the tools art over the mantle. Plus, in the camera shot of what one sees when one enters the front door, the mantle peice and the lamp over the table more or less line up with each other. That's already a lot to take in, not including the rest of the room. Then one sees the two oval mirrors and it's too busy. They also crowd their own spaces, i feel. That's my 2 cents. Otherwise wonderful job!
Great room!!¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Perfection...but the corner cabinet...needs color on the inside so it doesn't look like its floating.
The tool bouquet is really neat I love old tools and I'm a gardener so in your house it's nice in mine the kids would touch it to death!!
Love the old tools above the fireplace....I love old tools....I am going to try this....
I would love to paint my brass chandelier. I wouldn't do a red though but would love to see a tutorial on how to do it. Beautiful home. I'd love to have one.
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.
Absolutely beautiful, a very sophisticated approach that comes off as being perfectly simple!
I love the lamps but it would look nicer if you fixed the cords so they lined up better and were less noticeable. Overall my fav was the farm tools above the fireplace.
Love it all... but the red pots on the mantle really draw your eye to them. Awesome job!!
My favorite part it's the frame of the room. I like. the farm style but I am not sure I like the convination of all of this colors.
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
The room is ruined by that hateful sham of a person's book on top of the coffee table
ALLEN AMAZING MANTLE AND BRILLIANT FABRIC CHOICES LOVE THEM. THE TOOL FOCAL POINT THATS WONDERFUL. ..CANT WAIT TO SEE MORE !
I live in a tiny apartment in NYC. Would you please provide ideas for small spaces?
Well hello Allen and no T.V. On the fireplace mantle?🙂 nice house you did good.
I love the room. I really like the old mantle and the tools displayed above.
I could tell this was a really old video just because of the colors. It really didnt look like a P. Allen design either.
Was the sofa slipcover handmade or was it purchased somewhere? If so, where can I purchase such one myself?
Love love love it❤️❤️❤️❤️
not crazy about the sharp tools as decor
not a big fan of the large bowl of yarn on the dinning room table, much rather it had a nice bowl of fresh flowers, and the barn tools not my taste either, but like all the rest
I like the large amber lamps! The room is very cozy and chic, very nice job.
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.
Black bean soup is a very accurate color just like soup
Loved it all. Your style is beautiful. Loved the teal and orange
I love it all except those tools over the mantle. I keep thinking they could fall
The mantel piece and ombre lamps with painting blew me off😊
loved the room but not so keen on the high placed mirrors. Too cluttered.
i loved it love the red wish u could help me in my home ...........:))
DARN them lamps are too big ..well I have kids and I'd have to wire tie them covertly to the table lol
Teach them respect for pretty things
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!
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!!
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.
I love the red and the other colors. Everything looks fabulous. Good job!Westport, Connecticut

Allen you are such a great designer. Beautiful
Only a man that doesnt clean would say a dark floor is good
Absolutely stunning love everything ❤
Wonderful house. I like the old barn tools, however, I would love them on barn doors. The use of old and new together is good. The table behind the sofa is a little worrying, as I would surely bang my shins. I would have had one the height of the sofa to put fresh flowers on for the sitter to enjoy the scent. Then again it is the sign of a how much one likes a home, by thinking of how they would live in it.
the table behind the sofa is actually a bench, not a table, but i do agree with you about banging your legs. i think this was purely as additional seating if one entertains a lot...otherwise get rid of it or put a console table like you suggested
Everything is beautiful!
Love the cottage home . The bedroom is fantastic
Very inspirational!!! I'm going to used as inspirational guideles to my new house soon.Thanks.
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.
Love the colors , the swan painting all of it!
my husband will surely love d tools display.
I love RED!! I used it in my kitchen wall. ^_^
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.
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!
it looks rely great and I like the tools above the mantel to
he has a pretty house i think thats his house right anyone want a toco lol! im seven years soo that picture is my gramma this just her page love mermaid milssa im not really mermaid melissa i just love mermaids
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.
This is Farmhouse Family meets Urban Elegance. I love it and it keeps the eyes engaged everywhere we look
I think this room is sooo cool! I am goin to start collecting things like this but Subtlety add to the room. Maybe hubby won't catch on too quick. :D
I seen this room before, it is a delight, still!
