farmhouse kitchen restoration design

I am so excited to embark on a full victorian farmhouse kitchen restoration. This space is in need of a little TLC to brighten it up and bring it back to something reminiscent of the time it came from. https://youtu.be/3hzvkX5OMD8 When we first walked through our farmhouse, this kitchen renovation project was immediately at the top of my list. Currently the space is very underutilized and impractical. When I am trying to cook a big from-scratch meal for my family, I am frustrated by the lack … [Read more...]

Farmhouse Master Bedroom Tour in the New Farmhouse | Cozy Bedroom Decorating Ideas

February 20, 2019 by Lisa 25 Comments

our new chandelier in our farmhouse master bedroom

I teased around about our farmhouse bedroom master tour in my last post and video, but I am finally ready to share it with you. I'm also going to bring you some cozy bedroom decorating ideas. This post is sponsored by Brooklinen. All opinions are my own.  It was hard leaving our last home where everything was done and pretty, and move to a home that wasn't. I had a vision, and knew this place could be even prettier than the last, but I knew it would be a while before we got there. … [Read more...]

A dried thistle wreath and pink tulips tie the colors together, while antique wooden crates add charm and functionality. When we first walked through this 100 year old farmhouse that would eventually become … [Read more...]

February 16, 2019 by Lisa 57 Comments

painted white hardwood floors in farmhouse nursery

We bought our Victorian farmhouse on 7 acres just over a month ago, but the place it looking entirely different now. Step inside and see what a difference paint and refinishing wood floors make! Some links are affiliate links, which means I make a small commission at no extra cost to you.  We spent ten years painting, refinishing and updating our last farmhouse. Most of the work was tedious and just took a lot of good old fashioned elbow grease. It meant that there was always wet … [Read more...]
