Where did the summer go??

Holy smokes is it fall already??  Didn't the summer just start?  Well I guess if it went that fast then I know we had a good time, right?  Between the camping, visits to Wyoming, and an epic opportunity to see the total solar eclipse, I can safely and confidently say that yes we had a good summer.  

Now that we are decorating for fall and bidding summer adieu, it's been super fun to create new decor for maybe one of my most favorite seasons.  We have just rolled out some of our latest wooden decor for home just in time to decorate for fall.

It's Porch Sitting Time

I'm so ready to be outside, who's with me!  School's almost done, and it's time to get out working in the yard, and when you're done for the day there is nothing better than filling a glass of iced tea (or red wine) and sitting on the porch, but first it has to be ready for the season.

It's Time for Some Serious Organizing of our Winter Gear

Looking around our laundry room we had some disorganization, and we are now in the heart of the winter with coats and gloves and boots everywhere.  We needed some help, so we created a custom built-in to fit our needs! Read on and see how we did it.

Have Map, Will Mark Where Traveled

On our Facebook Page earlier this week we shared an HGTV video about creating a travel map, well that got us inspired to finally put together our own travel map in the library, and we love it.

Front Porch Fall Design to Enjoy the Last of the Warm Evenings!

We were recently inspired by Arhaus to showcase a design of our outdoor space, so we did just that, and transformed our front porch into a relaxing end of the day place to enjoy.

Rustic Decor Update

Hope you all had a wonderful long weekend over this Memorial Day holiday.  We finally opened up the Wyoming house this past weekend, and I thought you'd like to see how all the new rustic decorations turned out.

Salvaged 2 x 12's Turned to Custom Shelving Unit

We are feverishly putting in all the plants and seedlings for our vegetable garden, so much work in fact that we have gotten a little behind on all of our other responsibilities, however we managed to make a much needed shelving unit for our music room this week all out of salvaged 2 x 12's.  We had no real organization for all of our piano music, most of the time it would just end up scattered on the floor and stepped on etc, definitely not the ideal situation, so we built and distressed our unit using old 2 x 12's to help us store and organize our music.

This custom built to order shelf unit was easy to construct, and the distressed painting technique we used was even easier.

Salvaging the Salvage Project

There are many different ways to get an image you desire onto wood, whether it be old pallet wood or brand new wood you just purchased from the hardware store, however the new way I tried this week needs some work to perfect, but I had to salvage my project.

These are my new addition to the tops of my kitchen cabinets, you know that one foot space above your cabinets that sometimes we don't know what to do with.  Here's the perfect addition to that space.

Rustic Decor Additions for Wyoming

Follow my blog with Bloglovin


If you have followed my blog for any time you know that our family has a place in windy Wyoming. It's been in the family for many years, and the Flying X Ranch holds a dear place in my heart.  We have had our place up there for about seven or eight years now, and quite frankly it needed some rustic decor to spruce up the place.  I've had these ideas for a year or two, but up until now I've not done anything about it.  We are ready to start heading back up there again this summer, and I thought it was time to add some decor to make it feel like a home away from home.

Here's how everything turned out!
