I have never written this whole story out before & it feels a little weird typing this out because it feels like a secret I've kept for so long, but as I sat down this week to talk about 'creating white cottage farm' our new series I was a little pulled to share just why this farm felt like an answer to so many prayers. I would feel more genuine sharing the terrible life event that happened right before we found White Cottage Farm that pushed us to say yes to the farm & move to our own…

Hi friends! It's that time of year again where we help someone who is in the process of adopting. As many of you know, we adopted our son Copeland in 2019 and since then we have felt called to help and support as much as we can to others who feel the call to adopt. It's crazy how much adoption has changed our hearts and our minds when it comes to where we give and how we view family. In our new kid's book you can read more about that as well. Each year we do something different when it

It happened today. A HUGE step in our farmhouse fixer upper. We got flooring installed in our downstairs guest bedroom. It's the first of many rooms that are going to get new flooring & I'm a little excited. We haven't made any huge steps in this house in a long time, but that's all about to change. We started in the guest bedroom this week & they are already moving into the front living room & dining room already tomorrow. I haven't really talked about it a whole lot, but we have been…

I was talking to my friend Abby tonight from Binks & the Bad Housewife as we were setting up our shop for the holiday open house this weekend & I was telling her the tonight I was going to blog the DIY farmhouse style buffet that Jose just built. She asked me if I was going to share the tutorial on how to make one & I then told her that Jose was going to do that on his blog, Craftsmandrive.com, & that I was just showing off some photos that i took of it because I was so proud

Holy cow guys. I feel like I might finally be able to sleep tonight after weeks & weeks of trying to decide what we should do with our new pine flooring. So if you remember a few months ago we made the decision to install 8 inch pine boards into our house. Well, that was an easy decision... & I thought deciding whether to paint or stain would be easy as well. No. No it wasn't. I completely locked up & didn't know what to do because I loved painted & stained floors equally. So, I asked you…

Nothing says fall quite like mixing warm toned vintage, new thanksgiving decor, and some greenery. This year, I've styled my living room for the fall season using pieces from John Derian's new Thanksgiving Collection at Target, some unique vintage and antique finds, and a little bit of live greenery we've migrated indoors for fall. Starting with the anchor of the space, the mantel. What better way to drawn (and keep) the eye with the perfect canvas to showcase one of my favorite items within…

Okay. I am not a blog expert. Really, I'm not. I blogged about How to start a blog & ever since I have got a LOT of questions on how to get people to read your blog. To be honest I come here to share what I am up to with my DIY & home decor passions & to my surprise & amazement people stop by my lovely little blog to read about it & I'm SO grateful! I know that it can be a big struggle to feel like no one is seeing your blog posts so I wanted

Can you believe we moved in to our home here on White Cottage Farm 1 year ago today?! How is that even real? As I sit here typing I don't even know where to begin. It just doesn't even seem possible. One year ago today Jose and I were coming home from a weekend up north & we were about to spend the entire week moving from our 'Cottage on Tyler' home into our dream farm home. Our forever home. Ever since that day we have been tearing up our home room by room & re-doing al the spaces. In
