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!

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 🙂
