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!
Summer Farmhouse Home Tour
Our Farmhouse
Farmhouse Light Filtering Curtains
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 🙂
Farmhouse Garden Porch
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!
How to Add Rustic Farmhouse Style to Any Home
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.
Healthy Costco Grocery Haul
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!
Farmhouse Easter Table Setting
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!
Join me for a Simple Spring Farmhouse Living Room Refresh
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.
5 Simple Spring Brunch Table Ideas
To kick off the spring season, we hosted a family brunch. So I got the table ready in the most simple form, like I normally do. Fresh flowers (tulips!), a beige and lavender table runner handmade by a local farm to us, and a sweet simple plate setting. I have this way of folding napkins that I really like. You basically take a square cloth napkin and fold it in half twice to form a triangle, and then tuck both corners inward (see tutorial below). Then you have the option of adding silverware, small flowers, or in this case I added some Easter straw “bedding” for spring. I couldn’t wait for my family to come over and see our spring brunch table!
How to Make a Spring Farmhouse Wreath with Fresh Flowers
Add some spring farmhouse charm to your home with this homemade wreath with sweet daisies. With two indoor cats, flowers on the table in vases become spilled water pretty quickly. So I’ve become a big fan of homemade wreaths and wall-hanging floral arrangements. Homemade wreaths are perfect because they are a way to display fresh flowers but kept out of reach of little ones. And, I just love making them 🙂 Learn how to make a spring farmhouse wreath with fresh flowers in this simple tutorial.
How to Add Spring Touches: SPRING FARMHOUSE KITCHEN TOUR
There is nothing like the first warm sun on your face on a Sunday afternoon after weeks of a cold, dark winter. As soon as the kitchen is filled with all that natural light, I start organizing it and getting it ready for spring. Ah, what a refreshing time that is. I gathered fresh food from our local farm stand, hung some herbs for drying, and of course put some cut flowers in a vase. Join me for a tour of our farmhouse kitchen in the spring!
