Decorating with Heirlooms: Photos

Last updated on: February 10, 2015 at 2:31 pm   By Jennifer Fancher

I love to explore my genealogy and when my father passed on some family photos to me that were stored in the garage, I was as giddy as a school girl.  I’ve always wanted to add heirloom photos to our decor and have history living among us in our home. When I was talking to my father about our family history, he remembered he had rescued an old suitcase that was going to be thrown away from my Great Great... Read more

DIY Kitchen Shelves for $20

Last updated on: February 8, 2015 at 3:12 pm   By Jennifer Fancher

When we were completing our Farmhouse Kitchen Remodel, I knew I wanted extra shelving, but our budget was almost full. Here’s how we used up an empty space to expand our pantry and get the shelves we wanted in our price range. See those open cabinets? I lived with those for MONTHS. Originally, I was going to leave the doors off and have an open kitchen to display my dishes, but those 6 months without doors killed it for me.... Read more

Entry Door Makeover

Last updated on: February 4, 2015 at 8:10 am   By Jennifer Fancher

 When I completed my Stairway Gallery Wall, one thing that stuck out was my Peach Front Entry door. It was the last of the original paint from when we purchased our house and needed to go! One thing our home lacks is a formal foyer. When you come in our front door, you immediately walk into an open living space, our den. I wanted to create a feel of foyer, but didn’t have the space to separate it into it’s... Read more

Industrial Metal Light inspired by Ballard Designs

Last updated on: February 1, 2015 at 1:21 pm   By Jennifer Fancher

I adore Ballard Designs and am always looking for ways to achieve their look, but within my budget. On our last visit home, my Father in law gave me a gorgeous, green enamel pendant light that had been sitting in his garage. Trent’s parents own a shop and these were the original lights that were hanging in the shop.  They replaced them back in the 80s, but lucky for me, they kept the enamel shades! We originally replaced the florescent... Read more

Our Farmhouse Kitchen Remodel is coming along!  I shared in Part One the details of our plan for the Remodel and Demo Process.  Part Two focused on how we built a Pass Through from the Dining Room to create more light in our kitchen.

Farmhouse Kitchen Remodel Part Two

Last updated on: January 19, 2015 at 12:16 pm   By Jennifer Fancher

In Part Two of our Farmhouse Kitchen Remodel, I’m sharing how we opened up a load bearing wall to create a brighter kitchen by installing a Pass Through from the Dining Room. This kitchen was VERY dark. Here’s a before: I would call it grey, because it seemed like you were constantly in the shade with no direct light. * yes, that is a life-size Captain America, to a little boy* Look at all that natural light from the Dining... Read more

Creating a Stairway Gallery Wall

Last updated on: January 14, 2015 at 12:09 pm   By Jennifer Fancher

While we are waiting for the paint to dry on our Kitchen Cabinet Remodel, we recreated the stairway with a gorgeous Gallery Wall by reusing and combining pieces from our previous homes. It only took about an hour, was thrifty, and created an instant home-y feel.   Let me take you back to the before when we first moved in. We removed the carpet and had the stairs sanded and clear coated when we had our hardwood floors installed. We painted... Read more
