If you love farmhouse style, you are in for a real treat, because I have more than 20 ideas and DIY projects to show you! SHOP FARMHOUSE DECOR HERE My goal was to select projects that had farmhouse charm, are inexpensive, and range in DIY skill levels, so there are ideas for everyone. Most are fairly easy, requiring only basic skills and tools, but a {Read More}
When Opportunity Knocks…
May 24, 2013 by 31 Comments
Actually, opportunity didn’t knock – it called my cell phone, but the call was about a door and the lesson is the same…spread the word about being a junk lover, because you never know when someone may remember and send some wonderful junk your way. Last week, I got the phone call every junker loves to get. “Hey Angie, would you be interested in some old doors?” Now, old doors can mean cheap hollow core doors, or old doors can {Read More}
Antique Ceiling Tiles Cabinet Doors
April 25, 2013 by 26 Comments
The curtains I made from on old canvas bag for under my kitchen sink were getting kind of grungy looking. Too many wet, and dirty hands had pushed them aside to get into the cabinet. Rather than constantly needing to wash them, I decided I wanted to go back to a regular cabinet door, but I think I must have used the original cabinet doors on some other project, because we couldn’t find them. Instead, my handy husband made me {Read More}
Laundry Room Reveal
April 3, 2013 by 82 Comments
My laundry room is finally finished. We’ve never had a dedicated laundry room in any of our homes – just laundry closets, so it seems like a luxury to me to have a real laundry room. I wanted a very simple, old-fashioned farmhouse look for this room, and love it so much now, I’m tempted to make room for a chair, so I can just sit in there an enjoy it. It started out as a combination laundry room/bathroom, but {Read More}
Farmhouse Kitchen Remodel – A Room with a View
August 23, 2012 by 204 Comments
I didn’t plan to show you my farmhouse kitchen remodel until Friday, because I had a lot of photos to go through before posting about it, but my mom is going on a camping trip today and she wasn’t too happy when she found out she wouldn’t get to see my kitchen until she got home late Sunday night. I stayed up until the wee hours this morning finishing this post for you, Mom – I hope you like it {Read More}
Passing it Down | Antique Farmhouse Kitchen Stove
August 20, 2012 by 16 Comments
I love finding my own vintage and antique treasures for my home, but there’s something even more special about an item that was “passed down” to you from family. This antique cook stove was given to me by my in-laws. It belonged to my husband’s grandmother, and was passed down to my father-in-law. At one time, they had it in their kitchen, but when they did some rearranging, they no longer had room for it and moved it to their garage, where {Read More}
Kitchen Sneak Peek
July 23, 2012 by 26 Comments
We’re still a week or two away from having our kitchen remodel completed, but I thought I’d give you a glimpse of one space I enjoyed “dressing up”. I’m still arranging and rearranging, so things are subject to change, but after 9 months of living in this house, it feels so good to finally start decorating in this room. I loved our open shelves in our previous home, so we installed them again in our new home. It gives the {Read More}
The Other Side of the Story
February 16, 2012 by 29 Comments
Months ago, I showed you the remodel of our entryway, from a room with dated, dark paneling, to a room with a whole new, but vintage look. But, only half of the room was remodeled because the wall on the other half of the room needed to remain open to the studs so my husband could work on the plumbing going on in the bathroom behind the wall. Well, that “ladies room” finally got finished, (seen HERE), so it was time to finish up the entryway. Again, more dictionary pages were added to the other walls, but I wanted {Read More}
{Primping in the Ladies’ Room}
January 19, 2012 by 129 Comments
Several weeks ago, I gave you glimpses of the project I thought I would be showing you within a day or two. I should have known that was a stretch, but I’ve been chomping at the bit and I guess I hoped if I blogged about it, the project would be completed sooner. Well, it took longer than I’d hoped and I really wanted to be able to photograph the room with a wide-angle lens, but there comes a point {Read More}
Night at the Improv – A Curtain Call
November 23, 2011 by 11 Comments
Most of my “wild hairs” come late at night. I’m my most productive self in the middle of the night when “not a creature is stirring”. Last night was no exception. I decided to do a little more work on some of the unfinished walls in my Dictionary Entryway. I added more pages, hung the light switch cover, and did a little cleaning, since we’ll have company for Thanksgiving. I wanted to hang a curtain valance, but forgot to buy {Read More}
