Hi guys! I'll bet most of you already know this, but today is the official day that our issue of American Farmhouse Style magazine hit newsstands! (By "our issue", I mean the issue that features our home and our kitty.) Apparently it hit a few places early, because I saw it at the grocery store a couple days ago and got mine in the mail last week. But. Now it's officially here across the ... View Post
Mid-August Update
I love this time of year. Even though it's still summer (even more so in the South), the angle of the sun changes and reminds me of good things. We're from the Pacific Northwest, and there (in Eastern Washington), the warm sun gives way quickly to chilly breezes by late October. Those days in September and October are my favorites of the whole year. Here, in Tennessee, we don't get to enjoy ... View Post

How to Use Barn Doors. Well.

Though I might be too late because ... View Post
How to Do Farmhouse Without Becoming Trendy
The word "trendy" sounds exciting sometimes, like when you buy a house that's so outdated that some of it has come back into style. It's also great when you have a limited decor budget and happen to find something at Goodwill that's actually "on-trend." Or when your grandma gives you her old dishes and you see similar ones in a magazine. In these cases, trendy is awesome. It gets you back in ... View Post
Pantry Remodel with Open Shelves
Once our kitchen was pretty much done, we started to realize just how irritating our existing pantry situation was. And not in a nit-picky, I-only-live-in-perfect-houses sort of way. In a my-husband-will-lose-it-if-the-garage-door-keeps-slamming-into-the-pantry-door sort of way. When our house was built, it was gifted with an abundance of doors in a very teeny space. There was one standard ... View Post
