The Farmhouse Bead Trend
Farmhouse beads have become a staple in many homes, from modern to boho and everything in between. The wooden beads are like jewelry for your living space, accenting everything from a coffee table to fresh flowers in a glass jug. They come in different colors, lengths, and large or small beads. We’ve rounded up 10 ways to accessorize your home with them.
