Farm to Table recipes and Homemade Natural Living
Today I’m sharing with you my top 10 or so summer kitchen essentials. Every season in the homestead is different and you have to adapt to different weather, different food, etc. When the kitchen is too hot to bake in the oven, I use other tools and methods to keep cool while still cookin’ and running my little farmhouse.
Today at the Homestead I’m sharing how to install a headboard to an existing bed frame. Our new headboard has turned out well, it’s classic and was inexpensive. We also already had an adjustable bed frame, so all we had to do was at the headboard and we were done. I love things that are easy!
We have been needing to fill our master bedroom with some nice furniture. And when I saw this old dresser on Facebook marketplace, I knew it would be perfect. And the best part was that it was free! Don’t you love that? In this post I’m showing you all about how to refinish an old dresser. It’s a really simple, easy and inexpensive way to add farmhouse style to your home.
Join me in a summer farmhouse home tour. Take a peek into our farmhouse master bedroom, homestead kitchen, living area, and our little garden. There’s a few new items and one that I even sewed myself too!
Come see how we installed light filtering curtains for our farmhouse bedroom. Normally I love waking up with the sun, but summertime sun rising at 5am is just a little too early for the coffee to stew. These light filtering curtains let us snuggle a little bit longer until the water heats up and the coffee steeps, about 7am 🙂
Toward the end of spring right before the heat of summer kicks in, I am always in awe of the garden growth around here. It’s a total transformation from the dead of winter to full bloom spring. With all the rain we got this year, I wouldn’t expect anything less!
You can always go out to the store to buy some decor for your homestead or garden. But to me, there is nothing like using your hands, nature, and a little bit of creativity to bring beauty into your home. Join me as I share our farmhouse kitchen tablescape and some simple DIY ways to add rustic farmhouse style to any home.
We love cooking from scratch and eating organic, farm-to-table when we can. Every now and then we run out of a lot of food at one time and chose to do a healthy Costco grocery haul. Here’s what we bought to cook homemade meals every day without going back to the store for, hopefully, a while!
Last week I set up our Easter tablescape. I always look forward to setting up our table for every holiday and season. Sometimes it’s just a simple floral arrangement or change in placemats. I keep a small stash of linens and placements in the cupboard that I swap out every few weeks. These are just some of the very simple ways you can set up a tablescape without spending much money. Find some simple farmhouse easter table setting ideas in this post. Thanks for stopping by the homestead!
We refreshed our living room space (and spent almost no money doing it!) to welcome a new season and to freshen up the space. It’s funny, how sometimes living in one spot for a long time can start to look the same. And just doing the smallest adjustments like moving furniture or repainting something can make a huge difference. Come see our farmhouse living room and how we refreshed it for spring.
