The cost of living is rapidly rising leaving many of us with little left in our pockets for decorating our homes. Yesterday I spent 4 hours at a home using items the owner already had. She had many sentimental items, yet she didn't have them out to enjoy. Her home is new, and has a classy feel to it, yet the items she loves are earthy and farmhouse style. We tried to blend it all - sentiment, class, farmhouse and earthy!
This is the way the tv and fireplace looked when I arrived.
The top of the tv now displays a cherished chair from her childhood, books, a natural looking picture, animal pellets (fur) - that are sentimental ~ draped over the chair. The driftwood, eagle feathers, and pottery from the mantel are arranged at the foot of the chair.
Standing at the fireplace and looking toward the kitchen . . .
Table rotated, bookshelf rearranged and large yellow crock removed. Counter cleared. Lamp, old collectible cookbooks on butcher block with hand embroidered cloth on top. 
The plant was moved to near the tv. Soft blue chair added for conversation in the kitchen.

There were a few minor changes done after the photos were taken.
If you live in SE Minnesota and would like to give your rooms a new look - let me know - for less than the cost of a new chair, you can give your rooms a new look!
