It never fails. When winter rolls around and cabin fever sets in, I find myself making a wish list to update every room in the house. Although a lot of my creative attention right now is focused on the dining room, I’ve also had a strong itch to freshen up the bedroom. One of the…
Today’s charming home tour is especially exciting for me because Susan’s house at Love of Home is the quintessential farm house.

Do you watch Chip and Joanna Gaines on Fixer Upper? If you answered yes, then you’re well aware of what shiplap is. If you answered no, you still might know what it is. I love watching Fixer Upper on HGTV and wish Joanna would come decorate my house. She uses shiplap freely in houses that…

Farmhouse style is all about practicality and simple decor. Early farmers in America didn’t have extra money to spend on home accessories so their interiors utilized functional things to add beauty to the home. Walls were often painted white due to lack of a paint budget. The early farmhouse was cozy and organic and easy…
Today is Thanksgiving Eve and I’m glad my daughter is hosting dinner this year so I can focus on decking the halls (and porch) for the holidays. It’s going to be a busy weekend! My holiday house tour is next Wednesday, December 2nd and I’m scurrying around putting final details on everything. But for now,…
Welcome to another edition of Farmhouse Friday where a group of farmhouse bloggers gather together to celebrate our favorite decorating style! This month we’re showcasing how to display or decorate with dishes. Farmhouse style is both functional and pretty.

This post is sponsored by Antique Farm House, but all opinions are my own. After spending lots of time outdoors during the summer, do you find yourself in nesting mode once Fall rolls around? The combination of cooler weather and shorter days always puts me in the mood to make things cozy inside. I’m sure…
Would you ever live in a church, school, or maybe a barn? I have to give a lot of credit to architects and homeowners that can see beyond the four walls of a building and envision something spectacular. Today’s charming home tour is an amazing, renovated Victorian school that I found on Houzz (photos by…

Whenever someone asks me what my favorite room is, I always say it’s the kitchen. Not just for the way it’s decorated, but for what it means on a daily basis. The kitchen is where you provide nourishment for your family. It’s where loved ones come together during the holidays and special gatherings. And of…

Farmhouse style is my favorite home decor because it’s so practical and pretty. This fall and winter I’ve decided to add more farmhouse elements to our home … mostly in the form of farm animals. As I was unsuccessfully combing the store for farm-y wall decor, I spied a couple of decorative Kraft paper bags…
It’s late August and I’m no where near ready to usher in Fall, but I do love mums and autumn flowers so I had to bring just a few touches of Fall decor into my farmhouse kitchen. I love late summer as it transitions into the next season. Our vegetable garden is ready to harvest…
