New Jersey Farmhouse has eclectic interior

The desire for a change of pace from the hectic life of the city is often what precipitates a move to a suburban or rural location. The family at "Farmhouse_Chronicles" were looking for just that when they left Brooklyn and purchased this 1800's farmhouse in Bergen County, New Jersey.  While this colorful home is nestled in a quiet suburb, rather than a farm, it exudes all the qualities of a quaint rural abode. Great bones, classic trim, and white walls set the stage for the decor within.  
Every room is styled with a simplicity that allows the flooring, paneling, and architectural details to speak for themselves. This also makes clean up a breeze, especially with kids underfoot as less clutter typically means less mess. The owners have selected delightful artwork for each room in the home, from quirky to pastoral, each piece adds another level of interest.
