Farm to Table recipes and Homemade Natural Living
It’s officially spring around here and I’m kicking off the season with a large raised flower bed. In this post I show you how to build a raised flower bed and plant summer flowers with the Aivituvin raised wooden planter.
John took out the air conditioner units this week and bought a new lawnmower, so it must be summer! Every few months I have this tradition where I like to make a new tablescape for the upcoming season. Even if it stays up only for a week, there’s something about it that marks the start of a new chapter and season for me and John. And this summer, it means the start of the season when we have our first baby. So join me as I show you how to style a summer farmhouse table and other ideas for summer farmhouse decorating. Enjoy!
Right now I am really into making things for our baby and for the nursery. There’s something so special to me about looking around our house and say, I made that! This simple DIY Hoop wreath tutorial with dried flowers is the perfect home decor item for any room to add a summery, floral touch without having to buy new flowers.
In today’s update I’m sharing the progress of our front, back, and side yard, lots of pretty flowers and veggie pics, the chicken retaining wall, how to kill weeds effectively, and some funny stories in there too. Welcome to farmhouse garden update #2.
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.
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.
