Model Home Tour with a French Farmhouse Flare

Today I am sharing with y'all the last house I toured over the weekend. The first two houses were much larger at over 4,500 sq ft.

Sundays By The Shore -Ring Island, Ma

Welcome to Sundays by The Shore. This week I am sharing a sweet little gem in Salisbury, Ma. It is for sale and not a rental property and you will see just why.

Texas Hill Country House- House Hunting Part 4

Are you like me and houses have to speak to you? For me I can walk in a home and within the first step inside I can tell whether it is a house that speaks to me. I can tell whether it pulls at my heart strings. I can tell whether I can picture our family making a home there. Today on our house hunt tour I am sharing such a house. 

House Hunting- Craftsman With Perfect Yard

As mentioned in my last post From My Front Porch To Yours is moving!:) We have been house hunting for three years now and have seen quite a few homes. 

How We Made Our DIY Wood Beams

As promised I have put together a step by step guide on how we created our wood beams for our living room. We have wanted to add beams to our living room for years now and after researching all of our options, pricing faux wood beams and seeing wood beams in custom homes in our area we decided we could create our own and have them look just as amazing.

DIY Living Room Wood Beams

I thought that I would kick this week off with a reveal, one that I know a lot of you have been patiently waiting for. It has been about two months since Mr. Front Porch and I tackled our DIY Wood Beam project for the living room. 

The project took us approximately 2 weeks to complete. We mainly worked on it during the weekend. 

Fixer Upper Sign = Gallery Wall Update

I shared with y'all a few days ago how I purchased this steel sign from The Magnolia Market after seeing it on Fixer Upper. I was super excited to receive it and to get it displayed but once it came in I was stumped. I knew it was more of an industrial piece and I ended up with one that looked more new rather than those that have a patina. It is hit or miss exactly what finish you will receive since each one is individually crafted.

DIY Wood Beams - Update

It has been a little over a week since I shared our plans of creating our own wood beams. Since then A LOT has taken place and I thought I would share a few pics of the process so far. 

We had a plan on how we wanted to do the beams as far as how many and what not but of course like all of our projects after we purchased exactly what we needed, we headed back to the store....well Mr. Front Porch headed back to the store to return and purchase what we needed for our revised plans.

If you follow along with me on Facebook or Instagram I have been sharing our wood beam adventure as we go along. Here I am after staining and burning I forget just how many wood boards. I was just thankful that it was unseasonably warm that day and I was able to get them all completed.

Dreaming of Wood Beams

I have always been drawn to spaces with wood beams. If you follow my Pinterest Boards Living Room Loving or Kitchen Loving you will see a lot of the rooms I have Pinned all have wood beams. 
I love the rustic feel they give to a space.

Can you imagine this gorgeous kitchen without the wood beams? To me it would still look beautiful but the wood beams make it complete.

Wood beams make such a statement whether they are in a formal setting or a casual setting. They just speak to me and I have always wanted some in our home. Mr.Front Porch and I have been pondering the idea for many years now but we have never taken the plunge. We have even researched the cost of installing faux wood beams.

Well the time has come! Mr. Front Porch got a wild hair and we made a list.

The supplies are bought and now we begin our next adventure of DIY home improvement. Wish us luck!;)

Remember that "How I Found My Style Sundays" will now be only a monthly feature, the second Sunday of every month.
