Farmhouse Cottage Style Fall Dining Room

Welcome to our fall dining room for this year! I am really loving how it turned out. The only thing I purchased new for this year were the supplies to make the fall tree. Everything else was acquired thru the years. There are those who can go out and purchase all new but I like the challenge of creating something new with what I already have...most of the time. LOL.

Of course the star of the show is the reproduction bread makers cabinet. This is the first fall with it. We purchased it locally right after Thanksgiving last year. 

Breakfast Nook Fall Tablescape 2019

Over the weekend I shared our breakfast nook side cabinets full of fall goodness. If you missed that post CLICK HERE. Today I am sharing the fall tablescape I came up with for this space. 

New Additions to the Living Room

 Changes in one space more often than not require changes to another space so you can always find me working on multiple spaces in our home at a time. Our living room is one of those spaces. 

French Farmhouse Cottage Style Dining Room

We have been in our new home 2 years at the end of October. I have never been one that can just throw a room together and call it a day so our dining room has been a work in progress. 

Spring & Easter Tablescape- Cottage Farmhouse Style

Today I am sharing my new Pottery Barn Flora Dinnerware. I consider it just spring dinnerware but since it has bunnies on it I thought it would be good to share it with y'all in time for Easter. 

Early Spring Front Porch

I had fun creating our early Spring front porch.

Items are a mixture of new and old. The carrot garland is from Hobby Lobby. Mr. Thumperton is a gift from a friend several years ago. The boxwood wreath I believe I purchased from Target a few years back.

Welcome to our Spring Dining Room for 2018. I still can not believe we are in 2018! This is my 9th Spring Dining Room reveal. 9 years of sharing our home and life with y'all and I am just honored that y'all are still stopping by and visiting!!

Farmhouse Model Home Tour -Part 1

***Update- I have received a ton of emails about who the builder is of the farmhouses. I was going to add their contact info and the website for everyone but after finding that the website is no longer up I contacted the builder and sadly they are no longer offering the farmhouses in their line up and have since closed the model homes in Round Top.***

Mr. Front Porch and I have been tossing around the idea of building a home for almost two years now. After visiting many a model home in many different communities we finally decided what we really would love to do is to buy an acre or two of land and build us a farmhouse. After doing some research we found a builder who has some model homes up in Round Top, Texas so my three men and I hopped in the car for a Sunday drive.  

Is this not the most darling farmhouse ever!? I love the tin roof! If you follow along with me you probably know by now I love the color green as well.

French Farmhouse Bedroom Transformation

** Source List for Our Master Bedroom Makeover**

The time has finally come! Today I get to share our master bedroom makeover! I have been sitting on pins and needles waiting to share it with you all since it has been completed for a little while. I am really thankful to have been chosen to work with Sherwin-Williams and BlogHer for this makeover. It gave me just the push I needed to get the project done instead of hemming and hawing over every little decision. I am really bad about second-guessing every choice I make and well there was no time for that. It was fun using Sherwin-Williams Color Visualizer where you can "Picture It Before You Paint It." It truly saved me from purchasing a ton of sample paints and putting them up on the wall. As I mentioned in my initial post I decided to use SW 6211 Rainwashed for our bedroom walls. If you missed that initial post and want to see the BEFORE pics and how I used the Color Visualizer click HERE.  

 Sherwin-Williams asked me to try out their Harmony® Interior Acrylic Latex Paint for this project. It is a zero VOC formula that helps to reduce common indoor odors. It also contains new technology that helps promote better indoor air quality by reducing VOC levels from potential sources like carpet, cabinets, and fabrics. The paint was very easy to work with. I was pleased with how smoothly it went up on our textured walls. 

I wanted our bedroom to flow with the rest of our home, so I went with a French Farmhouse theme in here. The planked wall really sets the space off. I am so glad that I was able to talk Mr. Front Porch into helping me complete that project. If you missed how we accomplished the wall you can click HERE.

Accessorizing was fairly simple. I was able to use treasured items like the little clock given to me by my husbands Grandmother. I even found the perfect spot for the vintage cow picture I bought back in November when visiting family in Georgia.

The space looks so much larger now with fresh paint and curtains up. Looking forward to creating a cozy little reading spot in front of the windows.

SW 6211 Rainwashed changes colors throughout the day, which is what I love about the color. Depending on the lighting sometimes it looks blue and then sometimes it looks blue/grey.

I have big plans for the space above the doors. I just need to talk Mr. Front Porch into tackling that project with me which so far has not been easy!;)

Mr. Front Porch had two requests for this project: use any color but green and DO NOT paint the furniture. Mission accomplished. He is just as thrilled as I am with how the space turned out.

One of the splurges I made was to have custom Toile Euro Shams made by my pal Sonya over at Beyond The Screen Door. She does beautiful work and I really appreciate her squeezing me in at such short notice.

This side of the room I am still working on. I am envisioning a custom-made Bed & Breakfast sign and Mr. Front Porch is envisioning a TV! :) 

 It only took 5 years, but we now we have a calm, relaxing space we always dreamed of.
