Summer At the Farmhouse ~ 2017

It is summer here at the farmhouse...as usual it is a busy one for us with lots of traveling and multiple projects on the house going on. I have a lot I can't wait to share with you and have many blog posts in the works (the dining room, exterior progress) but I just don't have the time for any detailed blog posts right now however I did want to share some pictures of the house before the summer got away from me.

I also have some very exciting news...I am going to have a booth in our local antique mall...more information soon!!! Until then have a wonderful summer!!!

Weekly Inspiration ~ Fresh Cut Flowers

Hello and welcome to this weeks inspiraton ~ Fresh Cut Flowers!! So many of my bushes have begun to bloom and that means there are fresh cut flowers all over the house.

Our lilac bush is one of the first things to bloom in our yard and I look forward to it's beauty and amazing aroma each Spring.

I have been looking for a large hanging basket (that I could afford) like this forever so I was beyond excited to find one at the thrift store for only a couple of dollars!

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed this weeks inspiration!!! We had an absolutely wonderful time at the Springfield, Ohio Antique Extravaganza and I can't wait to share with you what I bought!!! I bought a lot of small things and quite a few big things (like the cupboard below)  that I am super excited about!!!

I have begun listing some goodies that I brought back from the Springfield show in my Etsy shop so be sure to check it out perodically!!! Until next time friends!!!

Weekly Inspiration ~ Our Farmhouse Kitchen

Hello and welcome to my weekly inspiration post! This weeks inspiration is our farmhouse kitchen...it is just about the only room in our house right now that doesn't have stuff for the Springfield Show piled to the ceiling in it. You literally can't even walk through our dining room right now...makes me a bit nutty....if anyone that didn't know me stopped here they would think I was a full blown hoarder (actually I wouldn't even be able to open the front door)...good thing the show is next week!

The rest of our house may look like a bomb went off but at the end of the day I always have to have a clean and neat kitchen.

Other than keeping a clean and organized kitchen I also strive to make ours welcoming and cozy. I like to do that with lots of white mixed with warm rustic wood tones. We absolutely love the big farm table that Neal built us and it is the perfect size for homework, my sewing projects, dozens of cookies being decorated, board games, lego building, or whatever else we may have going on on any given day.

Lots of beautiful linens, crocks filled with old rolling pins and old wooden spoons and big cutting boards are also a must in our farmhouse kitchen. I cook and bake A LOT so I like the things I use to be right on hand.

My newest little relish jar is actually what inspired this post. I have quite a few of these and I just love them and this one was begging to be photographed.

Well I hope that I am going to be seeing some of you next week at the Springfield Extravaganza!! I absolutely can not wait!! Thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed this weeks inspiration!!
