I know many of you love old barns as much as I do, so I’m sharing this photo I took on Friday. My oldest son and I went on a weekend road trip and I asked him to keep his eye out for old barns . He spotted this one and pulled over so I could jump out and photograph it. It looks like once upon a time it may have been red, but most of the paint has weathered away, and some of {Read More}
Decor Steals Design Ingenuity Event – Boxwood Wreaths
April 13, 2015 by 23 Comments
If you’ve visited my blog for very long, you may have noticed that other than Christmas, I don’t do a lot of seasonal decorating. I don’t switch out my pillows for different seasons, and I don’t change my mantel for every holiday. I do love to change things up in my house, but it is’n’t usually seasonally oriented. I prefer to decorate with things that can be displayed year-round and don’t need to be stored away after a season ends. {Read More}

Farmhouse Bathroom Vanity Reveal
April 3, 2015 by 34 Comments
I should have titled this post “Farmhouse Bathroom – Take 3”, because I just can’t seem to stop teaking my bathroom. A few weeks ago I showed you the makeover in progress that I was giving our antique cabinet bathroom vanity. I thought I’d be showing the makeover to you in just a few days, but one thing led to another, and before I knew it, the entire bathroom ended up getting refreshed in the process. So let’s recap… Here’s how it looked when we {Read More}

March 25, 2015 by 18 Comments
Barn Pulley Light | Easy Farmhouse Industrial Project Making a barn pulley light is one of the easiest projects you can do. You can have it finished in 5 minutes. No tools or knowledge of electrical wiring are necessary! I’ve included the short supply list to make it easy for you to make one yourself. I’ve sold quite a few barn pulleys over the last few years, but after I listed this one in my shop, I had second thoughts. I {Read More}
Enamored with Enamelware
March 7, 2015 by 5 Comments
There are a lot of things I’ve collected over the years, but one collection I’ve never gotten tired of is vintage enamelware. It has everything I look for in a collectible item – it fits perfectly with my farmhouse style, it’s affordable, and it can be found in nearly any antique store, as well as yard sales, and thrift shops.
A Fresh New Batch of Farmhouse Signs
March 4, 2015 by 21 Comments
The problem with being a multi-tasker, is sometimes I have WAY too many projects going on at one time, and before I know it, they’ve overtaken my house. I’d be mortified if anyone dropped in unexpectedly right now, so I’m on a mission to get projects finished from all the pieces I’ve drug into my house – before the week is over. Anything that isn’t done before this week is up, is getting taken back out to my workshop. I hate to {Read More}
apple crisp and sledding
March 2, 2015 by 10 Comments
I had about 10 different projects I could have worked on today, but when I woke up this morning, I realized that all I really wanted to do was clean up my kitchen and enjoy it. I usually have way too many projects cluttering up my table and counter, so our kitchen often looks more like a workshop than a kitchen, and I often paint more than I cook in my kitchen. I decided all my projects could wait until tomorrow, {Read More}
DIY Farmhouse Chalkboard with Rustic Wooden Frame
March 1, 2015 by 43 Comments
I have a big empty space on my kitchen wall, just above our antique stove. I don’t do empty spaces. I’ve never been a minimalist. I haven’t left the space empty intentionally, but every time I make something and hang it there, then list it in my shop – it has sold quickly. It makes for great sales, but not for a pretty kitchen. I didn’t want to spend much money, so I designed a farmhouse style rustic wooden frame chalkboard. It’s an easy project that requires very basic {Read More}
