Decorating on a Budget for Fall in the Farmhouse Entryway
September 11, 2016 by 19 Comments
Decorating on a budget can be tough. We want our homes to look cozy and inviting – especially in the fall, but money doesn’t grow on trees, does it? It doesn’t help that store shelves are filled with pretty seasonal decor, and everywhere you turn you hear about “must have” decor and “fall essentials”. Very few of us “must have” anything more than we already own, and we are blessed with all the essentials we really need. I admit that {Read More}

Corrugated metal… Oh how I love it. If it ever goes out of style, I’m in big trouble, but it’s been a staple in farmhouses for years, so hopefully I’m safe. We added it to a wall in my shed turned guest room. I used a piece left over from the guest room to make this pallet wood & galvanized metal flower display.

Paper towels… I have oodles of them. If there’s ever a zombie apocalypse and there’s a raid on grocery stores, my family may not have a stockpile of food to fall back on, but we have plenty of paper towels. My husband found an amazing deal, and bought several cases of them. We now have them stacked in our bedroom, and taking up space in our bathroom storage closet.

Well, my weekend plans took a nosedive, but sunflowers came to my rescue. I was feeling kind of down in the dumps, because my daughter and I had planned to go camping, and I was looking forward to stepping away from all my projects and unplugging from the computer.

Did I need a cute little basket? No I didn’t, but the price was right, it was sturdy, and the patina was calling {Read More}

When I was a little girl, I loved going with my mom to the beauty salon. I remember the mint green walls in the salon. I remember the long row of hooded hair dryers. And I remember watching in fascination as the beautician teased mom’s hair into a beehive. And I distinctly remember the smell of all the Aqua Net required to keep the beehive in place. My mom could rock a beehive! It’s amazing how you can walk into {Read More}
