When we remodeled our bedroom with a British theme a few weeks ago, as a surprise for our son, that meant that my husband and I had to move into my son’s old room. It’s very cramped with our queen bed and dresser in there, but the plan is to remove the wall between that room and the adjoining bedroom, and turn it into one large room. Our bedroom at our old house in Missouri had a wonderful porch with {Read More}
Farmhouse Bathroom Makeover … {again}
February 17, 2014 by 48 Comments
I bet you weren’t expecting to see a bathroom remodel, since I haven’t mentioned doing one, and quite honestly, I wasn’t expecting it either. We only have 2 bathrooms, and both of them have already been remodeled, so here’s the long-winded explanation, with lots of photos. If you hate long-winded explanations, skip the next several paragraphs and just look at the photos. I hope you enjoy our farmhouse bathroom makeover! I was sitting in the bathtub one evening last week, {Read More}
Antique Wooden Worktable
November 15, 2013 by 23 Comments
Yesterday, I showed you some of the auction finds that I’m selling, but here’s the swoon-worthy guy I’m keeping. I really wasn’t looking to buy any large items at the auction, because my house is maxed out and big pieces are too difficult to ship, but I couldn’t pass this worktable up. It is definitely work-worn, and well-weathered…and that’s the way I like it. He was coated in years worth of dirt when I brought him home, but he cleaned {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}

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}
Farmhouse Sink
July 28, 2012 by 19 Comments
I know that apron front, farmhouse style kitchen sinks are all the rage, but there are 2 reasons we didn’t get one for our kitchen remodel. 1) I’m cheap…those aren’t. 2) I already have a farmhouse sink. In fact, I have 2 of them. Both of my sinks are porcelain over cast iron sinks. One came out of our old farmhouse in Missouri and is a single sink with one side drainboard. It’s sitting in our barn right now. The other {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}
