Cafe Lights in the Guest Room
May 22, 2016 by Leave a Comment
When your kids are babies, life is all about cute little outfits, decorating the nursery, and getting photos to mark their 3rd, 6th, 9th, and 12th month moments, and nobody really warns you about what may be coming in the days ahead, do they?
All Good Things
May 20, 2016 by 30 Comments
When you read the three words in this post’s title, “All good things“, I’d be willing to bet your mind automatically filled in the remainder of the proverb with, “must come to an end“, didn’t it? The funnest vacation you’ve ever taken eventually ends, Your brand new car eventually starts looking like a used car, Downton Abbey ended, and there’s no season 7. Sigh… So when I discovered one of my favorite good things was suddenly gone,
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}
Picket Fence Pet Gate

If you have an indoor pet – this post is for you. If you have a toddler who lives in, or visits your home – this post is for you. If you have neither an indoor pet, nor a toddler – I hope you like picket fences. 🙂 So, here’s the back story. I know I’ve mentioned before that we have a lot of pets. 2 horses, 4 dogs, and 2 cats to be exact.
Dahlias Decor & More Flowers
May 12, 2016 by 11 Comments
I’ve always loved the simplicity of daisies, and up until last week, they were my favorite flower, but when I went shopping for snapdragons to put in my Farmhouse Window Box, I passed some dahlias, whose blooms where stunning. It was less expensive to buy the bulbs than the plants, so I bought a bag of them. Given my track record with flowers, I’m not holding my breath that I’ll end up with plants with these beautiful blooms, but it can’t hurt {Read More}
seed packet printables & shop talk
May 11, 2016 by 12 Comments
In between working on several new projects on Monday, I kept running out to the mailbox – waiting to see if the mailman had brought some beautiful antique seed packets I ordered. If there was a “who has the brownest thumb in the world” contest, I’m pretty sure I’d be a top contender, but I still adore flowers and anything with flowers on them, so I had to buy these seed packs. They are originals from an early 1900’s seed store, and the images {Read More}

I hope you are in the mood for some summer inspiration, because we’ve got lots of it today! Welcome back to Talk of the Town! There were SO many links I loved at last week’s party!
