COTTAGE: 100 WAYS TO LOVE THE
FEELING OF BEING HOME."
>> LIZ MARIE IS ABOUT TO GIVE A
TOUR OF HER FABULOUS FARMHOUSE
IN MICHIGAN.
HI, LIZ.
HOW ARE YOU?
>> HI, EVERYONE.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR VISITING
IT'S A COLD AND RAINY DAY HERE.
SO PERFECT, COZY DAY TO STOP BY.
>> FIRST OF ALL, I LOVE WE GET
TO PEEK INSIDE YOUR HOUSE.
DON'T YOU ALWAYS WONDER?
PEOPLE WITH FABULOUS TASTE WHAT
DO THEY DO INSIDE?
YOU'RE LIKE A LOT OF US,
TACKLING PROJECTS OVER THE
SUMMER.
HUH?
>> YES.
WE HAVE SLOWLY MAKING THIS 1800
FARMHOUSE
YEARS, AND THIS TIME AS HOME HAS
GIVEN US A LOT OF TIME TO DO
THAT.
>> LIZ, YOU'LL TAKE US ON A TOUR
AND GIVE US A QUIZ OF THE TRENDS
THAT YOU INCORPORATED INTO YOUR
HOME.
SO WE'RE STARTING IN YOUR FOYER.
AND IT WASN'T ALWAYS A FOYER.
IS THAT RIGHT?
>> RIGHT.
ACTUALLY USED TO BE A LITTLE
COAT CLOSET UNDERNEATH THE
STAIRCASE.
WE REMOVED THE WALL AND THE COAT
CLOSET AND MADE IT A COZY NOOK.
A NICE LITTLE SPACE FOR OUR
FAMILY.
>> GREAT.
DO YOU SPEND TIME DOWN THERE
READING AND HANGING OUT?
>> SURPRISINGLY WE HAVE AN
18-MONTH-OLD SON WHO LOVES
SITTING OUT HERE WATCHING THE
FARM AS WELL FROM HERE.
>> BEAUTIFUL!
>> TAKE US TO THE LIVING ROOM
AND QUIZ US ON A TREND, WHICH I
WILL PROBABLY FAIL.
TELL US ABOUT YOUR LIVING ROOM.
>> SO THIS IS THE FRONT LIVING
ROOM OF THE FARMHOUSE AND ONE OF
ARE THOSE ROOMS WE'VE BEEN
SLOWLY WORKING ON.
IT'S NOT QUITE FINISHED, BUT
LOOKING AT THIS SPACE, DO YOU
GUYS THINK THAT MONOCHROMATIC
ROOMS ARE IN OR ROOMS WITH NOR
CONTRAST?
>> MONOCHROMATIC.
>> THIS IS MONOCHROMATIC.
>> A REALLY GOOD GUESS.
THEY'RE GREAT.
IF YOU NOTICED, WE DO LOVE WHITE
PAINT A LOT HERE ON THE FARM BUT
ADDED A LOT OF CONTRAST WITH ALL
OF THESE WOOD PIECES IN THE
SPACE, FROM THE MANTELS, THE
COFFEE TABLE, TO THIS LARGER
CABINET OVER HERE.
>> COOL.
IT'S REALLY, REALLY BEAUTIFUL.
SO --
>> THANK YOU.
>> -- WHEN WE LOOK AT THOSE WOOD
PIECES.
>> YEAH.
>> TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT THEM.
>> YES.
SO WE FIND A LOT OF THEM AT
ANTIQUE STORES, FLEA MARKETS,
AND ACTUALLY LATELY SINCE WE'VE
BEEN STAYING HOME MORE, THERE'S
A LOT OF GREAT WAYS YOU CAN SHOP
FOR ANTIQUES ONLINE AS WELL,
WHICH WE DISCOVERED.
I'VE BEEN SHARING A LOT OF THAT
ON MY BLOG LATELY TO HELP PEOPLE
OUT.
SPEAKING OF WOODS.
DO YOU THINK STAINED WOOD PIECES
OR RAW KOODWOOD PIECES ARE MORE
>> RAW.
BASE AND NOTHING.
>> I THINK STAINED.
>> ON NOTHING.
>> DEPENDS ON THE PERSON, I
THINK.
RIGHT?
>> YEAH.
STAINED CLASSIC, BEAUTIFUL AND
IN.
IT'S A TIMELESS THING, BUT
LATELY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN CRAVING
THAT RAW WOOD LOOK, AND ADDS A
COZY VIBE TO A ROOM BUT MORE
RELAXED.
PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ADDING MORE RAW
WOOD, ALL RIGHT.
I LIKE THAT.
TAKE US TO YOUR DINING ROOM,
PLEASE.
>> COME ON IN.
>> YOUR HOUSE IS AWESOME.
>> I DON'T LIKE MY HOUSE NOW!
>> YOU GUYS, THANK YOU.
>> THIS DINING ROOM IS GORGEOUS!
>> THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
THIS TABLE GETS A LOT OF USE
FROM DINNER TO WORK AND
EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN.
SINCE WE'VE BEEN HOME MORE,
WE'VE BEEN USING IT A LOT.
AND -- THE NEXT THING I WANTED
TO ASK YOU GUYS IS ABOUT THE
WORD PA TINA.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?
>> NO.
>> WHATPATINA.
>> IS IT THE FINISHED COLOR OF
THIS WOOD, OR IS IT THE FINISHT?
>> I'M GOING TO SAY THE WOOD.
I DON'T KNOW.
>> IT'S THE FINISH ON THE STARS.
REFERS TO AGING ON ANY SURFACE
AND THESE STARS HAVE GREAT
PATINA, ADDS GREAT TEXTURE TO A
SPACE AND WE ALL KNOW MORE
TEXTURES EQUALS MORE COZY.
>> LIZ MARIE, WE'RE OUT OF TIME.
>> WE'RE COMING BACK.
WE HAVEN'T SEEN IT ALL.
YES!
WE SAVED ONE OF THE MOST
IMPORTANT ROOMS IN THE HOUSE
FOR --
>> HODA.
>>> AND WE'RE BACK WITH INTERIOR
DESIGNER AND BLOGGER LIZ MARIE
GALVIN, GIVING US A TOUR INSIDE
HER STERNING FARMHOUSE IN
MICHIGAN.
>> WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS,
THE HEART OF YOUR HOME.
TELL US ABOUT YOUR KITCHEN.
>> YES.
TRULY THE HEART OF OUR HOME.
WE SPEND A LOT OF TIME IN HERE.
ONE OF REASONS IS THE SUN ROOM
OFF THE KITCHEN.
WE SPEND A LOT OF TIMES DRINKING
COFFEE AND WITH OUR 18-MONTH-OLD
SON.
ONE OF FOUR FAVORITES PARTS OF
THE HOUSE.
>> WHAT ARE ALL OF THOUGH
DRAWERS?
COOL.
>> CURRENTLY NOTHING.
BUT OVER TIME THINGS WILL BE PUT
IN THERE.
>> SO BEAUTIFUL.
I LOVE HOW YOU PAINTED THE WOOD.
IS THE WOOD ON THE FLOOR
PAINTED?
>> THIS FLOOR IS PAINTED.
A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE PAINTED
FLOORS, WE USED PORCH PAINT.
SUPER DURABLE AND EASY TO CLEAN.
>> DO YOU HAVE A LAST QUESTION
FOR US?
>> YES.
MY LAST QUESTION IS ACTUALLY
ABOUT PAINT.
IF-OF
DO YOU THINK BRIGHT AND VIBRANT
COLORS ARE THE VIBE RIGHT NOW?
OR AGED AND MUTED?
>> Both: AGED AND MUTED.
>> YOU'RE RIGHT.
BRING IT INTO YOUR HOMES,
CURRENTLY WE HAVE WHITE WALLS.
WE JUST LOVE WHITE WALLS BUT WE
LOVE TO BRING IT IN IN FURNITURE
PIECES LIKE THIS ONE, GREAT
PATINA, YOU GUYS KNOW WHAT THAT
MEANS NOW AND IT ADDS A LOT OF
LIGHT TO OUR KITCHEN.
ANOTHER WAY IS IN -- ANOTHER WAY
IS ANTIQUE PAINTING.
LIKE OVER HERE IN THE KITCHEN.

LOOK IN.
>> THAT'S BEAUTIFUL.
>> YOUR FARMHOUSE IS SO
BEAUTIFUL.

BEDROOM, WOULD YOU BED BE MADE?
