Farmhouse 5540

I am so excited to be joining some wonderfully talented bloggers for a new blog hop called FARMHOUSE FRIDAYS! This month's theme is "What Does Farmhouse Style Mean To Me". To me farmhouse style is simple, rustic, calming, and cozy. I love old things and am drawn to the look of the past, specifically rural America in the middle to late 1800's. I try to accomplish this look in our farmhouse by using primitive items and furnishings, warm wood tones, along with simple fabrics and patterns, all…

Charming farmhouse style is growing in popularity and you'll find tons of decorating inspiration at Farmhouse 5540. You won't be disappointed!

I like to wait until after Thanksgiving to decorate for Christmas but Novembers here feel like winter so I like to add some warmth to each room with blankets, candles, warm lighting and subtle touches of red here and there throughout the house. The cold weather and snow always gets me in cleaning/rearranging/make things cozy mode and so I have been doing just that. I moved the big card catalog that my Dad gave me out of the dining room (I will share where I put it in another post) as I was…

Happy Holidays Friends! I have begun decorating the house for the holidays and I wanted to share what I have done so far! I know I say it all of the time but keeping it simple is priority number one, this time of year of is so busy for us and I love having a cozy uncluttered farmhouse to come home to. Lots of ironstone, old fashioned stockings, soft comfy textiles and pine boughs make our front room sitting area cozy and inviting for the holidays. I filled one of my new ironstone bowls with…

So I have decided to change the "Weekly Inspiration" post title to "Farmhouse Inspiration" since I don't always have the time to do a weekly inspiration post! This weeks post is dedicated to one of my favorite things to collect...vintage linens!! In particular the white ones with some sort of hand done detailing get my heart racing. We are working on so much around here and I can't wait to fill you guys in and show you what we are doing!! I have been doing daily videos of our master bedroom…

Happy New Year! This post comes a little late but today was the first chance I have had to share all of the pictures that I took over the holidays, it has been such a busy holiday season for us! I kept my decorating simple this year as usual, both inside and out. We put a real tree on our front porch and I must say I love it so much I think it is going to have to become a yearly thing. We did endless baking again this year...the kids and I just love it. In the kitchen some new flea market…

My mom and I spent last Saturday going to some antique and junk shops, I am yearning for the flea market and I needed a quick fix. I promi...

Here is our newly repainted and refreshed Living Room! It seemed to take forever for me to get this room done but I must say I am very pleas...

Hello and welcome to this month's edition of Farmhouse Friday! Our theme this month is FARMHOUSE STORAGE! Like most old farmhouses ours is short on closet space so I am always on the search for unique items that can serve as storage pieces. Vintage boxes or handmade items that were used for storing something long ago are my favorite to look for. My husband Neal built us this long sideboard for our dining room specifically for different storage items that I have collected over the years. If…

Hello friends! I just wanted to share some pictures that I have taken around the farmhouse the last couple of months. It is hard to believe that it is August already but we still have many fun things like concerts, antique shows, visits to amusement parks, and work on the house to do before the summer ends! Hope your having a wonderful summer and enjoy the pictures!
