Farmer’s Market Farmhouse Style Decor | 3 Easy Projects
Before getting full-time jobs, all three of my sons spent their summers earning money selling fresh produce at our local farmer’s market.
It turned them into produce “snobs” because they saw firsthand the difference between produce that’s been picked in other states, boxed up and shipped to the local store, and produce that was freshly picked from a farm in our community.
My country boy dad grew a large garden when I was growing up, so I spent my summers weeding, picking, shelling and selling some of our crops at our roadside stand.
My sister and I got to keep the money from what we sold, but she was more patient and was willing to sell longer to make more money. I’d make a few dollars and take off to play. Remember, I’m the baby of the family. 🙂
So, after my weeding, picking, shelling and selling garden childhood, you’d think I’d love vegetables, but I’ve got to admit, I am a total carnivore.
With the exception of corn on the cob (which I adore), I’d rather drink veggie juice than actually eat veggies.
Just say the word “beets” and I might run screaming.
But I still love farmer’s markets. How can you not?
I love seeing all the colorful produce, fresh flowers, and handmade soap, and I buy the produce because my veggie-loving family appreciates it.
So this week I worked on three farmer’s market farmhouse style decor projects, all made with the Farmer’s Market stencil – the newest stencil in my Vintage Sign Stencil line.
Farmer’s Market Farmhouse Style Decor Project #1 – Upcycled Vintage Crate
This project couldn’t have been easier. I just taped the stencil in place and painted. No building, no prep, and quick clean-up. In five minutes it was done!
Farmer’s Market Farmhouse Style Decor Project #2 – Farmer’s Market Kitchen Tote
This project is more involved, because you have to build the tote first (the tutorial is HERE), unless you buy a ready-made one, but the stenciling part only took about 10 minutes.
If you don’t want to make your own, this tote is available in my shop HERE.
Farmer’s Market Farmhouse Style Decor Project #3 – Farmer’s Market Canvas Pillow
This is a crazy easy project!
See my Stenciling Pillows Tips to get the best results.
If it wasn’t for the tick that climbed up my leg, I would have parked my behind on this rocker and read magazines all day. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping, and everything looks beautiful in my yard right now.
There you have it. Three farmer’s market-inspired DIY projects. I hope you like them!

I love your stories AND your projects. My grandmother lived on a farm and we did a lot of helping in the garden, too. If they were digging up the potatoes, my sister would stay home.
Your sister and I would get along well, Nancy! 🙂

Wish I could afford to by every one of your stencils, love them all. Now have to decide which one just have to have soon, will have to wait to be able to buy more. Love your blog and all your projects Angie.
My husband is actual Muskogee, OK farm boy, so he likes to tell me how hard farm life was. He was oldest so had more chores, more expected of him. Know one thing, was hot and humid in Summer.
Hope you had wonderful Memorial weekend
Cute projects for farmhouse decor. You’re so right about fresh produce tasting better. Just the idea of “farm fresh” produce seems so right for summer.
Thanks Mimi! 🙂
Such cute projects. It is a very versatile stencil.
I love the stenciled box, it looks perfect for filling up with fresh veggies at the Farmer’s Market. Thank you for linking up with us at the #HomeMattersParty this week!
