Farmhouse Laundry Room Organization Cabinet Makeover

March 16, 2018 by Lisa 37 Comments

Farmhouse Laundry Room Makeover and Organzation Ideas from Farmhouse on Boone

This Farmhouse Laundry Room Organization Cabinet Makeover was a long time coming. I am so ready to show you the changes I made. I have a tendency to neglect ugly things behind closed doors. My Spice Cabinet Organization and Pantry Organization with Mason Jars posts proved this. If I can hide the mess away I am pretty darn good at ignoring it. If you ever come over to the farmhouse, never look under the bed, ok? The same holds true for the laundry room. We have lived in our home for almost 10 … [Read more...]

Curb Appeal Makeover Porch Progress- Demo!

June 13, 2017 by Lisa 5 Comments

Well, there's no going back now! I wish there would have been some way we could just add a little shim here, and a new board there, and call this porch good. This whole curb appeal makeover process would have been a lot more fun if it was just adding pretty plants and rocking chairs. But, when you're talking about a house that is almost 100 years old, a full demo is in order. It would have been nice to keep the original pine tongue and groove flooring, but I really wanted stained … [Read more...]

June 6, 2017 by Lisa 30 Comments

Ok friends, the following pictures are slightly difficult to share. We have lived in our 1920's bungalow for almost nine years now, and the front porch has been in dire need of a renovation the entire time. So, although, we have been super busy painting, ripping up carpet, tearing out an entire bathroom, installing new quartz countertops, building new built-ins and painting some more, we completely neglected the exterior of our home. Oh sure, when you just look at it from the … [Read more...]

A Farmhouse Bedroom Makeover- Part 4 Lamps and Nightstands

October 26, 2016 by Lisa 14 Comments

Hello friends! Last time I talked to you about our farmhouse makeover in Part 3 I was still waiting on night stands, bedside lamps, a chandelier and an antique wardrobe that is hanging out in our garage, waiting to be redone. If you remember, I started this whole transformation back in May with Part 1 . I had a cherry colored bedroom set, from Ashley Furniture, that totally didn't fit my style. Over the past five months, I have sold the old bedroom set, purchased my iron bed from … [Read more...]

Farmhouse Living Room Built Ins

September 12, 2016 by Lisa

Hi friends! I hope this post finds you well and you are enjoying the end of summer. Around here the air is getting crisp and it is starting to feel like fall. We've traded in our swimsuits and goggles for school books and blue jeans. Although most days we are sitting down to study history and math, I do plan to take the kids to the creek several times before the cold weather really settles in. After a super busy month, launching a new website and going on a family vacation to Gulf … [Read more...]

A Farmhouse Bedroom Makeover- Part 3

July 6, 2016 by Lisa 1 Comment

We have made a ton of progress on our bedroom makeover, and I am loving it so far! Everything feels so much lighter and brighter! It was a hassle selling all the old furniture, sleeping on the mattress on the floor for a month and having all of our clothes piled in the closet, with no dresser to store them in. But, I am so glad I did it! It just makes no sense to keep things around that you don't like. I don't know why I thought I had to be stuck with any and all items I acquired at … [Read more...]

It can be time consuming. We have another room makeover in the works and I'm excited to tell you all about it!
