I actually love the clean lines of the lockers with the mantle being so ornate and the table and chairs being a nice combination. I think the wood color is making them successful. If you want wider, you could move the lockers to one side of the nook and get a tree for the space on the fireplace side. It could help with the stencil vibe that you are patiently waiting for. It could even be a fake tree. I love the idea of moving the small curio cabinet to a hallway so the lockers feel more intentional. I am a perpetual rearranger though. 😉 Every deep clean something gets rearranged. Your house is so much like a dollhouse. So perfect for you. 🧡💙

Some type of legs or upholstered base may work, mounted to the lockers. Beautiful, you got a treasure that you can use forever in many rooms❤

Those lockers would be perfect in mud room. What a blessing you salvaged them.

@OldWorldFarmHouse 22 дня назад

yes they would. would love that! thanks!

@faithbooks7906 23 дня назад

I love the size of that dining room. I love big old fashioned dining rooms where one can host Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners in style. Thanks for the tips!

@OldWorldFarmHouse 23 дня назад

I totally agree! You're welcome!

@terrizimmerman5297 23 дня назад

Such beautiful floors, Kathleen. Perhaps someday beautiful knobs for the lockers would make it look less primitive. I have many vintage furniture pieces but no antiques from my mom and mother-in-law.

@OldWorldFarmHouse 23 дня назад

Great idea! thank you. the floors are amazing. I really need to wax them!

@elvathompson3997 17 дней назад

Love the lockers💙 what a wonderful rescue 🥰 I am new to your channel and love all things old also. I am looking forward to your reset. I hope you add some height to the top of the lockers with some more old and beautiful finds

@OldWorldFarmHouse 20 дней назад

Thanks so much! 😊 what a great idea!

@jillbailey1837 18 дней назад

Hi Kathleen,only just found your channel. Your home is beautiful. When you spoke about the tree stencil in the dining room I could just imagine it a,,and maybe making the trees progress through the seasons . Can't wait to see your progress

@OldWorldFarmHouse 16 дней назад

Oh thank you! Oh my I like that idea….

@OldWorldFarmHouse 16 дней назад

And Im so glad you found me, welcome!

@robinmiller8728 24 дня назад

Your dining room is so lovely!!! The mantel, floor and the wainscoting is just amazing. I would be so interested to see the wall treatment you mentioned. Do you have an image that you could share? Could you paint the lockers the same color as your chairs?

@OldWorldFarmHouse 24 дня назад

Thank you!😊 I do i will have to find it. I did float this idea to my husband but… hahah I had to solemnly swear to not touch them with paint😑

@robinmiller8728 15 дней назад

Oh drat! 😊 I do love a challenge. If you think the lockers seem too small for that nook, could you..... Add bulk with a beautiful type of garland on the top and lots of thrifted brass candlesticks? Not a Christmas garland, but something with large leaves or fluffy dried hydrangeas. I think you can diy leaves with brown craft paper lightly sprayed with a couple different metallic spray paints

The dinning room wallpaper is so beautiful to me …I live florals…but stenciled would be beautiful as well.

@gathercreatelivewithleslie8340 16 дней назад

The lockers would be amazing in a mudroom, first time watching, so don't know if you have one or a back porch for gardening stuff. Vintage is 20+ years, antique is 100 years or more old. Love your high ceilings. Our facebook market place is the same, takes me awhile to find things I love. The east coast is amazing for stuff. You could also add some molding etc to the lockers to get a nicer look and possibly paint. Goo gone would help to remove the labels without marring the lockers with a butter knife.

@OldWorldFarmHouse 15 дней назад

Welcome! Thank you for you ideas 😀I do think they would be amazing in a mudroom. We have the space but it needs work…would be such a fun project. Thank you for your comments. I’m so glad you found me!

@annerudziensky9313 11 дней назад

I think it would look great to stencil the inner panels of the locker doors and then sand the stencil a bit so it looks worn. It might be too busy with the current wallpaper but maybe if you move them. I am thinking of a large pattern stencil.

@OldWorldFarmHouse 10 дней назад

I like that. Thanks!

@katiecoleman9847 18 дней назад

What about adding small legs to the bottom of the lockers; you'll probably have to add another board on the bottom to strengthen it. Also, could add a board on top that is thicker and a little longer. Just found your channel, love your style!!

@OldWorldFarmHouse 18 дней назад

Thank you! Definitely going to consider adding legs!!

Hi Kathleen, Do you have any videos on how to decorate for a German Country Cottage? I know how to do an English Country Cottage, but I am not sure if my German antique pieces (not furniture) just little pieces here and there would fit into an English Country Cottage vibe? Or would they? Please advise.

@OldWorldFarmHouse 20 дней назад

Hi, I am not familiar with German Country at all! But I would imagine that little pieces here and there would definitely fit in. I don't think the various European country styles have super hard and fast definitions. It's about creating a feeling of comfort and cohesiveness...your pieces sound lovely!

@brigidkram7950 24 дня назад

I love your big rooms especially this dining room. The lockers are awesome!! They would be good for homeschooling supplies. I rescue antique/vintage pieces and then have to find a place to put them in my house 😂. I’m constantly moving pieces all over the house. My husband never knows what he will find when he gets home from work. Last Christmas I decorated one corner of the living room for him and told him I would never change it. It is his dark academia corner. It is a very nice cozy corner. Thank you for sharing your ideas.

@OldWorldFarmHouse 23 дня назад

Thank you! Yes, that was our original idea but getting that piece upstairs is another project :) I love the idea of your dark academia corner that will never change!

Farm House, Grandma core this & that.... I'm over it. I have only a few items, I've donated a boatload of gently used things. Clutter is a no-no for me. I shop inside my own home. I love colors and animal decor tropical plants, plus other unrelated styles.

@OldWorldFarmHouse 10 дней назад

I understand 😀

@PK-bh1ww 12 дней назад

Auctions are a great place to buy furniture and save a bundle. I have decorated my entire place with auction finds. You can find some quality sturdy non chipped things. I got my camel colored flexsteel couch in clean show room condition for $5! Oh please don't scrape with a metal knife on wood. Wet the tape well with water and then Murphy's oil soap. Leave on about 10 minutes and if you scrape , use plastic knife. NOT metal.

@OldWorldFarmHouse 12 дней назад

Thanks for the advice!

@sandraford4235 24 дня назад

You could’ve taken the drawers out of the buffet to make it easier to move .If that wallpaper is good and stuck on well you could paint over it then do your stencils on it .

@janeharden1163 21 день назад

Oooooo dear Lord. At this pace it’s gonna take you 6 months to clean out the side board. Why didn’t you just take out the drawers? I can’t watch stuff like this
