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

Each year one of my favorite things to do in the fall for our home is to decorate the front porch and its steps. I try to at least do a couple different variations of styling each year to give you all plenty of ideas and tips. This year fall just got away from us and I have only styled two. But today I am finally sharing with you my annual fall front porch! For our first styled porch, I styled a Halloween Front Porch, featuring some DIY painted pumpkins. It turned out great and I loved…

Happy Friday friends! This week was a fun & short week, Mr. LMB had monday off so that started our week off amazing.

As Halloween quickly approaches I want to give you all a few more spooky looks for inspiration. Selfishly...I am styling these a little for myself because they are just so much to create, but I always keep you all in mind as well. So today I am sharing with you a Spooky Witch Antique Corner. I initially used these Witches Hats to style a Simple Witches Hat Halloween Mantel last week. For that look, I simply set the hats on repurposed glass pop-top bottles, but I really liked the idea of…

Hi friends! Wow. It feels like it has been a long time since I sat to chat with you about the kitchen renovation and let's just blame that on a pause with contractors, the holidays, and the creative rut I was in. Now we are all hands on deck and big decisions needs to be made like trim, paint colors, and wallpaper. Wallpaper is a big part of our home's story that we want to bring back into her with the renovations. During the renovation of this 1800s farmhouse we have found layers of…
