Berry Farmhouse Indeed

It is no secret that Farmhouse is a favorite decorating style. Marianne from Songbird nails the look even though she doesn’t have a traditional mantel over a fireplace. She styled a shelf that includes so many fun farmhouse elements and the red berry wreath against the shiplap wall is the star of the show!
