    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…

    5:21 AM - By 

    Today I am shar­ing the main entry way here at the home­stead and how I styled it with­out using mums. I am hope­ful every year that I will man­age to keep my mums alive and every year they end up dead…haha please tell me I’m not the only one with this prob­lem? With­out fur­ther delay, here is how I achieved a bud­get friend­ly rus­tic fall porch with­out mums. I decid­ed to take a proac­tive approach that saved mon­ey and heartache. If I am being com­plete­ly hon­est we just recent­ly start­ed a new bud­get­ing tech­nique to save mon­ey and become a debt…

I actu­al­ly had a fun time craft­ing this dol­lar tree haunt­ed house with my mom and it was just what the doc­tor ordered.

    Rae Dunn Inspired Christmas Plates

    12:39 AM - By 

    If you have nev­er heard of Rae Dunn it is very pos­si­ble that you may be liv­ing under a rock. It is seri­ous­ly all the rage in farm­house styled décor right now. I must admit I am not entire­ly sure why since noth­ing about the sim­ple designs scream farm­house to me…BUT…they are sim­ply presh…you know what else they are? Expen­sive! At least some of the time any­way. If you’re one of the lucky few that has been able to snag some amaz­ing deals on this adorable col­lec­tion at TjMaxx then kudos, I tip my hat to you my friend. Heck,…

    DIY Farmhouse Riser from Baseball Nubs

    2:50 AM - By 

    This project has been months in the mak­ing. In order for you to appre­ci­ate this project I have to share a lit­tle back story. A few months ago I was asked to present a project at a live craft­ing event host­ed by Brooke Riley from Re-fabbed. I knew I want­ed to teach the ladies to make a farm­house ris­er. Fast for­ward a cou­ple weeks and I was tour­ing the Louisville Slug­ger Muse­um and Fac­to­ry in Louisville, KY. At the end of our tour we were encour­aged to take home a “nub” as a sou­venir. These nubs were cut off the ends…

    Easy Burlap Flower Pocket

    SUPPLIES Large paint sticks White paint Paint brush Large piece of burlap Uphol­stery tacks Jute or ribbon Hot Glue Faux flow­ers I am so excit­ed to share this project. It was def­i­nite­ly one of those “ah-ha” moments in craft­ing. I just love it when a plan comes togeth­er. My inspi­ra­tion came from see­ing a tray made from paint sticks and draw­er pulls which I thought was absolute­ly genius. I loved the idea of re pur­pos­ing the sticks but I want­ed to take it a step fur­ther by cre­at­ing some­thing to hang on the wall. I start­ed by assem­bling the paint sticks side…

    Creating a Budget Friendly Gallery Wall

    7:44 PM - By 

    There is some­thing very sat­is­fy­ing about going a trea­sure hunt through your own house look­ing for things to hang togeth­er. Its excit­ing to see a bunch of ran­dom objects some togeth­er to cre­ate one cohe­sive look. Chances are, you already have most of what you need lay­ing around the house. Take this cute lit­tle piece for exam­ple. It was giv­en to me so that was a plus! Who does­n’t love FREE, am I right? But real­ly I think you could scav­enge through your garage and find an old piece of wood. Paint that bad boy up and add a lit­tle some­thing…
