Oh my, I really love the farmhouse look. I had to just keep going into the dining area.
I got started with the chalkboard. I looked online for a saying I could change it to. Found this one about the dinner table I liked. I know it could use a little tweeking but it is fine for now.
The shelf, I found at Rod Works and it fit the "farmhouse" look perfectly.
I loved these 'buckets" not sure what you call them. Anyway, I decided to use them as shelves. I cut a piece of barn wood to fit in them and make a flat surface to put stuff on.
The little chalkboard was just to fill in an empty space. I drew the chicken with a chalk pen. I know, it's not the best looking chicken but its the best I could do.
So fun to look back and then see it now.

Now I have plans for my table and chairs but that will be a project for the summer. But so far, I love the new look. It feels like home.
Thanks for stopping by.
