There are a lot of things I’ve bought that I’ve had buyer’s remorse over later, but today I thought I’d share some of my favorite purchases that I don’t regret. None of them are fancy, big ticket items, and I use all of them in my farmhouse style decorating in one way or another, and I’ll explain how I use, and why I love each one. I’ve included links so you can shop for the ones you like as well. Some are affiliate {Read More}
Country Living Inspired Flour Sack Stockings

Months and months ago, I spotted some farmhouse style Christmas stockings via Country Living that were the picture of farmhouse Christmas perfection to me, and I’ve been wanting some like them ever since, and I finally have them!
Rustic Farmhouse Patriotic Pennant Banner
June 15, 2016 by 10 Comments
If you recall, last month I teamed up with an awesome group of bloggers for our first Farmhouse Friends event. We had so much fun, we decided to make it a monthly event through the summer, and I’m excited to show you the rustic farmhouse pennant banner I made for this month’s event! A few weeks ago, I shared my newest barn quilt, and I felt it needed a little something to give the display a more finished look. So I {Read More}
Country Boy Song & Thrift Frame Makeover for Dad
June 10, 2016 by 14 Comments
I’ll never forget the Christmas I received a John Denver album as a gift. I loved all the songs on it, but my favorite was the Thank God I’m a Country Boy song. I’d crank the record player’s volume up, and belt that song out at the top of my lungs, replacing “boy” with “girl”. I was a country girl back then, and I’m a country girl now, and I still love John Denver. 🙂 With Father’s Day coming up, {Read More}
The Barn Quilt and the Bathroom
June 1, 2016 by 21 Comments
Have you ever felt absolutely, totally lost and clueless, and you just didn’t know what to do? Well, when I was in kindergarten, our classroom had its own bathroom that we didn’t have to share with the rest of the kids in the school. On the outside of the bathroom door was light switch that lit up and turned red when you turned on the light and went into the bathroom. There was no lock on the door, so this red {Read More}
How to Make Farmhouse Picket Fence Wall Hooks
May 18, 2016 by 10 Comments
If you’ve got about an hour to spare, today I’m going to show you how to make farmhouse style picket fence wall hooks that can be used to display home decor, like hanging mason jars, or use as a coat, hat, or apron rack. After using pallet wood on the walls when we remodeled our entryway, my supply of pallet wood was pretty much depleted. Getting more pallets isn’t a problem, but the axle on our hauling trailer broke, so getting the pallets {Read More}
Best of Farmhouse Friends + Rusty Bike Makeover
May 15, 2016 by 30 Comments
I’ve got a special treat for you today! I’ve teamed up with some of my blogging buddies to bring you Best of Farmhouse Friends, and for our special event, I gave my super rusty old bike a makeover and dressed it up with a farmhouse style flower basket! I bought my old bike four years ago at a yard sale (see how it looked when I bought it HERE). It was already really rusty when I got it, but it’s been sitting out {Read More}
Magnolia Market Style Farmhouse Serving Plank
April 28, 2016 by 11 Comments
As much as I’d love to visit Magnolia Market, I don’t see that happening in the near future, but I did some online “window shopping” and spotted a few things I love. One of them is their Farmhouse Serving Plank. I love that it can be used to serve food, but can also be used as a table centerpiece. It’s actually similar to the rustic table centerpiece I made and used in the autumn (seen here) and at Christmas (seen {Read More}
Mason Jars Stencils, DIY Wood Tote + Custom Stencils
April 13, 2016 by 11 Comments
You all love mason jars, right? Yeah, that’s a silly question! I collect old ones, and my favorites from my collection are displayed on the new kitchen window shelf my husband made me last year. Well, a few days ago, I shared a little wooden crate I had upcycled to look like an old produce shipping crate. It has the words, “Sweet Harvest Produce Co.” lettered on the side, but that lettering was only part of my newest Vintage Sign Stencil design, so I’m {Read More}
Make a Hanging Rustic Storage Crate, or Three!
March 30, 2016 by 10 Comments
Make Hanging Rustic Storage Crate The farmers have been out getting their fields ready for planting in my neck of the woods, and the other day I was thinking about a talk I had with my dad just a few days before he passed away. He was becoming increasingly confused, but one morning he was fairly alert, and I wanted to engage him as much as I could while it lasted. I recruited my niece and nephew to assist me, and gave them a {Read More}
