It’s been a wonderful and busy weekend for our family. My daughter’s life-long best friend got married, and my daughter was her maid of honor. They’ve been friends since they were about 6 years old, and have been by each other’s sides ever since, so it was such a joy for me to watch my daughter get to stand by her friend’s side for the most special day in her life. My middle son was able to come home with his {Read More}
Antique Trunk Tray Makeover
May 25, 2016 by 14 Comments
Once upon a time (about 4 years ago), I went to the most ahhmazing farm country auction, and at that auction, I scored an antique trunk. Now, I really didn’t personally have any place to put that antique trunk, but it was so cool I couldn’t resist bidding on it, and to my surprise, I won. As I was getting ready to load it in my van, a young gal approached me and asked if she could buy it off {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}

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.
Glass Door Cabinet Makeover + Tips!
May 6, 2016 by 13 Comments
I just finished a new project, and while I’m sharing it, I thought I’d give some tips on how to spray paint a design on glass with stencils, because it opens up so many more possibilities of ways to use your stencils. A few weeks ago, my husband and I went to a neighborhood yard sale, where I picked up this little cute little cabinet. I found it at the first stop we made, and loved the curved top around the glass {Read More}
Cheese Dome Upcycle + Grade School Flashback
May 1, 2016 by 13 Comments
I’m a sucker for glass cloches, so a few weeks ago when I spotted this little cheese dome at a thrift store, I had to buy it. How could I pass up such a cute little glass top and pretty wood base? But there was one thing about it that I just didn’t like…

It’s been rainy, cold and dreary here in the Midwest, and since it’s too wet to do anything outside, I brainstormed what project I could work on indoors, and I remembered some farmhouse style photos I took last year, and realized I had a really easy project I could make with them.

Fresh Flowers, Spring Chickens, Placemat + Pillow

No, no, NO! That’s the answer I’ve given my kids every time they ask if they can get another animal. When my kids were little, I was all in favor of having lots of animals, so each one of them got their own dog, my daughter also got 2 horses and a cat, and another cat adopted us that we kept (you can see him here). But now that they are older, my rule is that they are welcome {Read More}
Tea Kettle on a Tea Kettle … What??
April 20, 2016 by 17 Comments
My mom has a cast iron tea kettle that I was admiring at her house, and have been hoping I might find a similar one, but something lucky happened, so I got one (sort of), but didn’t have to buy it. Clear as mud, right? Let me explain…
