Come see how I made our old world farmhouse Christmas kitchen on a budget this year. The other day I was looking around our home and thinking, I love our home so much. And I always have! We bought our house because it was almost totally perfect. But more and more I feel the urge to make things look more our own, and less like the house when we bought it. I also want to bring some old world traditional farmhouse touches in, because I have just been loving that style lately. And with the holidays around the corner I figured it was the perfect time to decorate for Christmas, in the kitchen at least. We’ll get to the rest of the house later LOL 🙂
Come see our simple natural fall farmhouse home tour where I will show you the dining room, living area, master bedroom, and a sneak peak of the kitchen and porch during the fall. Grab some apple cider and enjoy!
Learn how to build a farmhouse dining table of your dreams. Farmhouse dining tables are no new feat, but can be brought into any home to bring a sense of warmth, character, and good ‘ol fashion togetherness. My husband John and I built this table because we wanted to be able to use our own hands to build something for our little farmhouse here in the Pacific Northwest.
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.
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.
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 🙂
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.
I haven’t been on here for a bit talking about our homestead because we’ve been busy updating it! We have about a quarter acre in a farming community and we’ve been working on the outside of our simple little farmhouse. I imagine these projects will go throughout the summer, so I wanted to provide updates along the way.
We have two different gardens in our small homestead backyard. This year we chose to use a galvanized horse trough for a planter box and build a cedar wood stand under it. That way, we’ll have one planter box on the deck and the other on the ground. Come see how we built and filled our DIY farmhouse planter box stand as we started planting seeds this spring at the homestead.
