What kind of home makes you want to grow roots instead of move on? For Instagrammer Scarlett Knuth of White Florida Farmhouse, the answer is a farmhouse with lots of land and lots of opportunity for improvement. By the time she and her husband Stephen found this farmhouse in northern Florida, they had lived in seven different places. Built in 1992, the original homeowners were selling this home. "They were retirement age and ready to move to a condo on the beach," Scarlett says. Attracted to the acre of land and the gorgeous oak tree out front dripping with Spanish moss, they pulled the trigger and have worked to make the house a place to stay, instead of a place to leave.

Scarlett´s design aesthetic has changed over the years, and she decided to pull in some bohemian farmhouse touches into this home.
