Hello Friends!! I hope your week has been going well. We have been totally enjoying the lazy days of summer around here. family vacations, time spent outside soaking in the warm air, it truly has been a great summer so far. I know I've sharing little glimpse's of our chicken coop on Instagram before, but I realized the other day while I was out collecting eggs, I don't think I've shared much of it on here. I announced that we got chickens a few years ago - HERE. And since then we have added to the flock. We have a total of 12 chickens, and honestly they are so much fun to have. I love their personalities, and they have to be the most friendliest chickens I've ever met! I love sitting on my ... Read More about Our Chicken Coop

Hello Friends and Happy Friday!! I'm so excited about today, because I am starting up the Farmhouse Style Home Tour Series for the summer, and it kicks off TODAY!

My Favorite Patriotic Outdoor Decor

5 Jul

Happy 4th Friends!!! I realize it was yesterday, but I always get thrown off when we have a holiday in the middle of the week. When Wednesday feels like a Saturday, it messes me up completely! Especially since we have family staying with us this week and everybody is on vacation! I wasn't planning on sharing anything in particular for the 4th, because we have just been soaking up time with family, and enjoying our little holiday. I hope you have been as well, but I have a fun announcement I can't wait to share, so I thought I'd share some of my favorite patriotic outdoor decor from around our house. And be sure to stay 'til the end and catch my announcement! ... Read More about My Favorite Patriotic Outdoor Decor

I'm sure you've heard the saying before "Home is Where Your Story Begins". And while I believe there is so much truth to that saying, I think it goes so much deeper than that! Over the past week or so I've had more conversations than expected circling this very topic, and it's caused me to do my own reflection on our home, and the spaces I create for my family. ...

Hello Friends!! I am SO stinkin' excited to share our new countertop in our kitchen with you today!! Seriously this made a huge impact in the overall esthetic of our kitchen. Honestly it feels like this is how it was always meant to be, and then somewhere along the lines it got modernized but in the wrong way. We've replaced the countertop on our Kitchen island, which gets TONS of use. It's the main hub in the kitchen, and I can't wait for to see what a difference it's made! ...

Hi Friends! Thank you so much for all your sweet comments about our new outdoor dining area that we extended! We have already been using it as our primary eating spot, and I'm currently typing this post out there as we speak! It truly feels like a little escape, and being outside surrounded by nature is exactly how I want to be spending my summer. I mentioned in my post on Monday I would share how I did the brick landscaping border in this area, I promise it really easy super easy, because I do not consider myself a landscaper at all! Here's how I installed this easy landscaping border. ... Read More about Easy Landscaping Border

Summer Patio | Seasonal Simplicity Tour

Hello Friends! It sure does feel like summer is in full swing once we start using our outdoor patio! Even though we are in the last days of school, we've been dining alfresco, roasting marshmallows around the fire, and soaking in every moment of these longer days. It's like one big giant exhale with the school year ending, a bit of a slow down from routine and rushing out the door in the morning, and it feels so good! ...

Hello Friends!! I can't believe that summer is only seconds away! I say that because we are in our last week of school, summer temps are here... and the humidity, and with it just brings the much needed slowdown to a gentler pace. I'm so ready for relaxing days by the water, summer catnaps in our hammock, and plenty of front porch sitting. I've been sharing some glimpse's of around our barn where we rented a bob cat and cleared out this past spring. It is coming along, and I am so pleased with the progress. I'll be sharing some more of our fire pit area on Wednesday for the last installment of the Seasonal Simplicity tour, and then our new outdoor dining area early next week! I can't wait ...

Hello Friends!! Thank you so much for stopping by yesterday, and visiting my summer home tour! In case you missed it, you can hop over and see it HERE. You might have noticed one subtle change in our dining room - new curtains. If not, don't fret, the ones I had before were white, and these ones are still white with the most subtle gray stripe on them. In fact I love that they are subtle, and have a bit of a french ticking stripe feel to them. Do you want to know a secret though?! They are not actually curtains at all! ...
