    Rustic Eucalyptus Christmas Tree

    1:06 AM - By 

    Lis­ten, I know naked trees are trend­ing in farm­house decor right now, but I don’t know if I have the phys­i­cal strength NOT to put any­thing on a tree. That is how this cute lit­tle euca­lyp­tus Christ­mas tree came to be! I mean, when I start­ed styling this space I start­ed with two tiny, naked, trees then I tran­si­tioned to a mini tree with twin­kle lights.…annnnnd the rest is his­to­ry. I had this RUSTIC DIY GARLAND on hand left­over from my fall man­tle and I decid­ed to use that resource to deck anoth­er set of halls.  This euca­lyp­tus Christ­mas tree took on…

    Easy Scrap Wood Halloween Decor

    2:20 PM - By 

    This easy scrap wood Hal­loween decor is so sim­ple and so fun! Every once in a while I like to throw in a cute project that you can get the kids involved in and this is def­i­nite­ly one of them.  Scrap wood is cheap and so ver­sa­tile when it comes to craft­ing. But I also under­stand not every­one is able to get their hands on pieces like the one I use in this project. That is why I cre­at­ed the Scrap Wood Project Box. It’s a sub­scrip­tion box of curat­ed scrap wood projects that you can have deliv­ered straight to your…

    Reviving an Old Cutting Board

    5:23 AM - By 

    Recent­ly, I had the task of reviv­ing an old cut­ting board. It giv­en to me by a sweet friend of mine no longer had use for it and knew I had a grow­ing col­lec­tion. As beau­ti­ful as it was, it need­ed a lit­tle bit of TLC. It was dry and had notice­ably not been con­di­tioned in quite some time. With­in a few min­utes I had this beau­ty shin­ing again!  Reviv­ing an old cut­ting board is real­ly quite sim­ple. The next time you find one at a yard sale or at a thrift store you may think twice about pass­ing it up.…

    How to Make Wood Conditioner with Beeswax

    1:31 AM - By 

    I have a love for using wood­en uten­sils in my kitchen. Wood bowls, wood cut­ting boards, rolling pins… you name it. And while yes they are pret­ty to look at, and work well with just about any type of cook­ware, they do require a lit­tle bit of main­te­nence. What’s the solu­tion? An easy-to-make home­made wood con­di­tion­er using beeswax or as I like to call it…Wood Butter! Wood gets thirsty. And when it is thirsty it has a ten­dan­cy to dry out, become rough and even­tu­al­ly crack and splin­ter. This is true across the spec­trum. When wood weath­ers it cracks, it…

    How to Clean and Season Cast Iron

    9:54 PM - By 

    Good ole cast iron. There real­ly is no oth­er way to cook and sea­son your food the old fash­ioned way. Grow­ing up I remem­ber mom say­ing the same thing. She had a col­lec­tion of cast iron from all over, and she still has my Grannie’s from years and years ago. I remem­ber cook­ing over an open fire while camp­ing. Home­made bis­cuits, in the cast iron, sausage, bacon, you name it.  It was­n’t until I start­ed cook­ing for my own fam­i­ly and using cast iron on the dai­ly, and crack­ing a beau­ti­ful Lodge skil­let, that I tru­ly under­stood the impor­tance of clean­ing…

    Rustic Farmhouse Kitchen Makeover

    9:02 PM - By 

    If you would have told me a year ago that I would be shar­ing images of my new­ly updat­ed dream kitchen I would have lol’d…BIG TIME! We were no where near buy­ing our for­ev­er home, in fact, we were rent­ing and bank­ing on buy­ing that place! But God…GOD had dif­fer­ent plans for our fam­i­ly. I din’t know exact­ly what they were at that point but I just had this feel­ing that we need­ed to wait.  The iron­ic part is I am a very VERY impa­tient per­son. When I get some­thing in my head, I want to jump to it right them…

    Hey there, I’m Kaycee, just a small-town girl from West­ern Ken­tucky, shar­ing the ups and downs of my jour­ney. I live in a cozy lit­tle house with my two boys, Lin­coln and Ledger, and let me tell you, life’s been quite the ride! In 2018, I start­ed Roost and Restore Home—it was my lit­tle pas­sion project. From DIY crafts to home­made recipes, I poured my heart into cre­at­ing a warm and wel­com­ing space for every­one. By 2021, things were real­ly tak­ing off, and I was over the moon to open my own brick-and-mor­tar store. But then came 2022, and with it, a…
