He did a very good job. He primed the walls only because we had not decided what we were going to do or what color if we were going to paint. This was a dining room only.

Sorry I can't remember the exact date or costs.

Rustic and modern farmhouse styles are currently the most popular. These include rustic and antique furniture, muted colors, clean lines, eclectic decor, and natural materials. Some other popular farmhouse styles include the following:

Coastal farmhouse: Creates a lighter, airier feel with soft colors and blue palettes, along with gold
Colonial farmhouse: Focuses on real antique furniture and decor
French farmhouse: Leans on French country architecture and design by including marble and lighter-colored metals, like zinc
Industrial farmhouse: Includes thick, chunky furniture and dark metals
Scandinavian farmhouse: Usually includes lighter wood colors and more refined furniture
