“Welcome to the Farm” Pillow for the Kitchen Windowseat
I guess you could say I have a farmhouse style vibe going on in my kitchen. So when I went to TJMaxx and saw that they had a whole bunch of farmhouse themed pillows…well I just had to get one. It was hard choosing just one especially since they were so reasonably priced! So I got “Welcome to the Farm”. They have a whole bin full of farm/rooster themed pillows at my TJMaxx! I do have a couple of cow prints and other little touches without being too themey ( I hope!). Above the window seat I have a plate holder that’s… [Read More]
Farmhouse Style Wall Decor-My Cow Art!
I’ve been enamored with cow paintings ever since I saw Eulalie on Miss Mustard Seed’s blog ( have you seen her other cow painting Hyacinth). So I’ve been searching high and low for an affordable way to have my own large cow painting and just haven’t been able to find anything that I could – 1. afford and 2. that I liked (out of the ones that I could afford). But… I did come across a small cow painting at TJMaxx last month. Happiness! I’m sure it’s just a matter of time before they have some larger farm animal paintings (they have… [Read More]
Adding Farmhouse Style To My Kitchen
Now that the little makeover I was doing on my kitchen is done I’m concentrating on adding some farmhouse style to my kitchen by using accessories. I started by adding a cute rooster clock to one wall and now I’ve added this amazing hand-painted ” Farmstead” sign. Isn’t great! I love it! I got it from Etsy Seller Castle and Cottage Hand Painted Vintage Designs. The “1988” date is the year we got married and this was a anniversary present from my husband (our anniversary was last month) that I picked out (sometimes the best kind of present 🙂… [Read More]
My Budget Kitchen Makeover – All Done!
I am done painting the kitchen!! I have to say that we all love the white walls 🙂 I admit, I had my doubts – but I love that color for that room. I’m not going to go crazy and paint every room white though – I love color too much. But it works in the kitchen. Between the fresh white walls and all the new lighting – it’s so nice and bright now (which was one of my goals). The other goal I had was to add some more storage which we did with this Ikea unit called Besta…. [Read More]
Get The Farmhouse Style Look Through Accessories
I used to want to move to our own farm. I’ve since come to the realization (as I’ve gotten older) that I don’t really want a rural farm, I want a suburban/urban farm. I’d like a farm style life I suppose. Which for me means enough room to have a few animals, gardens, my idea of a farmhouse and a good distance between me and my neighbors. But I also want to be able to go to a museum, or theater, hospital, or store without it being a long trek. Today I want to talk about how to achieve farmhouse… [Read More]
