Today we’re touring one of my favorite kitchens. It has country charm and practicality throughout. This truly appealing farmhouse kitchen is located in the U.K. (as are most of my fave kitchens). Crafted by Hill Farm Furniture, Ltd., every nook and cranny of the bespoke kitchen tugs at my heart strings. I would love to…
Did I ever tell you the story of how a simple clawfoot tub inspired me to purchase a house? About 16 years ago when I was a single mom with 3 kids, I decided to check out an old farmhouse for sale that was featured in a local newspaper. I really wasn’t in a position…
A classic 1830’s southern farmhouse outside Atlanta, Georgia gained notoriety when it became Southern Living Magazine’s Idea House in 2012. The entire renovation of this southern charmer by Historical Concepts took approximately 7 months before it stood proud in its new glory. All the amazing details you’d expect to find in a classic farmhouse you’ll…
It never ceases to amaze me how many beautiful homes are out in the world. Sometimes it’s the architecture that stands out, other times the interior decorating is the wow factor. Today’s Oyster Pond Estate has an amazing combination of the two! This home is so huge, they call it a compound. Choosing room photos…
I’m excited about sharing this vintage farmhouse by DeGraw & DeHaan Architects because it exemplifies all that I love about older homes! And it starts with the six-over-six windows, clapboard siding, and a wealth of charming vintage details inside. Photo by DeGraw & DeHaan Architects “They don’t build them like this anymore,” is a phrase…
This year I didn’t join any autumn tours with my fellow bloggers. I wasn’t sure if I’d decorate for fall this year. With a full-time job and spending our weekends getting away more, I just didn’t know if I’d have time. I did manage to make a few subtle changes to a couple of rooms…
Welcome Fall! Today is officially the first day of a new autumn season. This time of year is great for creating warm rooms in your homes and the colors of brown, tan, and dark beige are just the ticket to do so. I think what first started my love affair with brown tones is when…
Finally I’m getting around to sharing pictures of the Wisconsin farmhouse we rented through VRBO. Every summer my kids and their families join me for a vacation somewhere not too far from home. They have little ones and that doesn’t make for a pleasant car ride, so we try to keep the drive a few…
Lately I feel like every Sunday I say how much I love today’s home tour. Today is no different. I’m in love with the charming Maryland farmhouse that we’re going to tour. The interior decor is giving me ideas for my own home. Every tour I hope that you too, walk away with ideas and…
Over the years I’ve collected a few pieces of farm animal art. Well, more than a few actually. I have to rotate some of them because I admittedly have too many. I got a little over-zealous. Here’s how I’ve personalized my home with my animal treasures. (This post contains affiliate links.) The cow painting in…
Let’s face it. The table is the star of a dining room. It’s one of those furniture pieces that deserve a little investment. It’s a place where your loved ones will gather around to create lasting memories. I tend to prefer a farm table because they’re usually built a little heftier than other options like…
Are you lovin’ the longer days of spring as much as I am? It’s incredible how a few more hours of daylight can put a pep in your step. Today I thought it’d be fun to share some photos of my kitchen from 5 years ago. It includes the pops of yellow that I’ve been…
My old house is weird when you walk in the front door because it doesn’t really have a designated foyer. I’ve kind of created a makeshift entry of sorts so it’s okay. But I’m truly envious of homes with a designated space to greet guests. Here’s a few entryway ideas if, like me, you’re looking…
Welcome to the second installment of my Holiday Home! My kitchen is dressed in a bit of Christmas flair, ready for friends and family to drop by! You can enjoy another week of home tours by following the links at the end of this post. Thanks to Krista at The Happy Housie for organizing…
It’s no secret I love farm animals. I love animals of any kind – even snakes. I also enjoy decorating with farm animals throughout my home. No, not the real type of animals, regardless of how cute they are. I’m talking about decorating with these types of farm animals – the statuary kind like…
An easy and fun way to update a room is with new artwork. Prints and canvas art can be inexpensive and immediately gives your home a new look. Since adding board and batten to our dining room, I’ve been searching for new artwork for the south wall. I found an Antique sign for the…
