Our New (Old) Kitchen

I've spent so much time dreaming of my perfect farmhouse kitchen. I've poured over books and magazines, Google and Pinterest. I've mentally picked out my new cabinets and appliances.

But new cabinets are not in our near-future so we decided to make-do with what we have. And I love the results so much, that I may opt to not get new cabinets.

We're not completely finished yet, and will eventually repaint the ceiling and uncover the original hardwood floors. But, in the meantime I will thoroughly enjoy my new old kitchen.

Here's the transformation, in pictures.

A Porch with Personality

I'm so excited to share with you the new decor on our front porch. I say "new," but once you see the pictures, you'll realize it's more like "old junk that I found lying around the farm."

 

 

Obviously not *everything* was old- the mums I just bought ON SALE at Lowe's, and the "Welcome" sign I made (using left-over paints and an old salvaged piece of wood).

 

I think it came together rather nicely and I'm very pleased with it. What do you all think?
