A Simple Spring /Summer Entryway...

Hi Friends ~ I hope you're doing well and enjoying the last full month of spring! Today, I wanted to share a very simple, quick, and budget-friendly way to freshen up your entryway...

Lilac Season! {Farmhouse Living}

Hi Friends ~ I hope your week is going well! It's the season I wait for all year... lilac season! Along with the beautiful and fragrant flowers, comes more sunshine, blue skies, and more daylight! The boys dust off their bikes, and I start working in the vegetable garden again... We're enjoying these gorgeous days and starting to itch for the freedom of summer!

Three Simple Ideas For Your Farmhouse Dinner Table...

Hi Friends! We're enjoying some beautiful spring weather here in the Pacific Northwest... That, along with a visit from my husband's parents, helped motivate us to get the grill cleaned up for the season. Once we start using the grill again, it just seems like there are so many more options for dinner! 

As I was getting dinner ready, I thought of three little additions for the table that really help make it feel just a bit more "farmhouse" special. None of these are earth-shattering, but I thought I'd mention them in case you, like me, had forgotten about them over the fall and winter months...

How To Age Terra Cotta Pots... {DIY}

Tis the season we start getting out our gardening gloves, tackling the front porch, and bringing more of the outdoors in. (Hooray!) Today I'm excited to share an easy DIY with you that helps take terra cotta pots from looking like they're straight off the store shelf to something that's been sun-faded and weathered from years of use.

Spring Farmhouse Inspiration...

Hi Friends ~ I almost cried tears of joy the other evening driving home from the store... As I turned down the road that leads to our street, I heard the happy sound of frogs croaking. 

It's the sound that reminds me of long, childhood summer days. 

It's the sound that makes me call my boys to come listen because I want them to remember spring and summertime growing up at their farmhouse. 

It's the sound that says goodbye to winter and welcomes a new, sunnier season!

Today I thought it would be fun to round up and share a few spring ideas for your home...

These DIY Burlap Carrots are perfect for spring and Easter. I love the neutral colors and texture!

This old farmhouse chair doubled as a plant stand a couple years ago on our Spring Front Porch. This was back when our door was painted green, before I stripped it.

And more recently I shared 5 Tips For A Simple Spring Farmhouse Vignette.

Thanks for stopping by today and Happy Spring!

5 Tips For A Simple Spring Farmhouse Vignette...

Hi Friends ~ Have you caught spring fever? Or are you suffering from cabin fever?!

Here in the Pacific Northwest we've had several days of gorgeous sunshine and now... snowflakes are lightly falling again. Since going to Hawaii is not an option (Did I mention we're having our whole septic system repaired as I write? Ah, the joys of country living...), I decided to freshen up just a small area in our home for spring.

If you (and/or your budget) is not ready to flip your whole house from winter to spring, consider these five easy tips for a farmhouse-inspired spring vignette:

Welcome to the first Sundays at Home for the month of March! Did it come in like a lion for you? No matter the weather, we hope you are having a wonderful weekend. Thank you so much for stopping by for another joyful Sundays at Home party! 

 We loved seeing all of your wonderful Spring creations last week. It was so cheerful to see so many flowers to help us get through these last few weeks of winter...  We can't wait to see what you've been up to this week and we're excited for you to see the features below. But first, we want to thank you again for joining us and get you caught up on what your hosts have been up to... 

Lilacs in the Family Room...

Despite the forecast, live like it's spring. - Lily Pulitzer

I love that quote but thankfully, it does feel like spring in the Pacific Northwest! As I write, it's a sunny, blue-sky, 75-degree day. The kind we could only dream of a month or two ago! I hope you are enjoying spring weather too, and looking forward to summer. I think we're down to 13 days left of school, as we limp towards the finish line...

We're so happy you've joined us for Sundays at Home, and hope you're enjoying the spring season! 

It's been wonderful seeing all of nature come back to life here at our little farmstead. We have a few different varieties of lilacs, including the white ones with pink undertones on the table above. I wish we had a scratch 'n sniff feature so you could enjoy their fragrant scent! 

Maybe you have your own lilacs to enjoy. (I hope so!) One of our features this week provides helpful tips for pruning and enjoying lilacs... So let's get this week's party started!

Lilacs In Bloom...

I hope everyone has had a good week and is looking forward to the weekend! I just wanted to stop in and share our lilacs, which are about a month behind when they typically bloom here in the Pacific Northwest. 

Good things come to those who wait. (We really had no choice but to wait, did we?) Ironically, this sentiment could be applied to other areas in our life right now too... I've heard it said, "God is never late, but He's rarely early." His timing is perfect, we remind ourselves. 

I'm rarely early either, but I can't claim I'm never late. And after this year, neither can our lilacs... ;)

Two Ideas for Spring Farmhouse Flower Arrangements...

I walked out our front door this morning is search of blooms, not entirely sure what I'd find. I spotted these beautiful pink tulips under our tall maple tree, and cut a few flowering branches that line the gravel driveway. I tucked in some sprigs of rosemary and lavender because a good fragrance never hurt anyone. Unless you're allergic. Which come to think of it, explains my sore throat and watery eyes. Still worth it.

Happy Spring from our Home to Yours...

Hi Friends ~ Just stopping in to say hi and share a couple of pictures, which show that spring is finally starting to show up here in the Pacific Northwest. (I was starting to wonder...)

You know the saying, "April showers bring May flowers?" If there's truth to that, we're expecting a floral wonderland. 

It hasn't been the typical Seattle drizzle - it's been a downpour. 

The other day I was driving our boys, and there was so much water on the highway. Plus, it was coming down in buckets. For a moment, I felt like I was driving a boat, not a car. 

Ah, Seattle... You don't need to try so hard. You've already earned the title of Emerald City. 

It's definitely green here!
