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.
The other day I was going for a walk with Allison and I heard birds chirping while they make their nests, and I smelled fresh cut grass from our neighbors. It must be springtime! Join me for an early spring farmhouse home tour where I share some simple spring decor ideas.
Today I’m taking you with me as I decorate the homestead for spring. I am pretty much a minimalist right now though, being that I’m pregnant and that’s pretty much all I’m thinking about. One way or another, it’s spring at the homestead and today I’m sharing it all with you. So without further adieu here is my minimalist spring home tour.
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.
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 a stand for our trough planter box and filled it to get ready for spring at the homestead.
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!
