Hey Guys - did you make it through the Holidays? We sure did and personally, I’m a bit sad they’re over. This Christmas I’ve been more exhausted than ever with a large 30 week baby bump brewing in me & three littles running around making messes by the second. But all the get togethers with family & friends have been…
Holiday Master Bedroom
This time of year is my favourite and I have wanted to decorate our Holiday Master Bedroom, but between all the activities and decorating I need to space stuff out. If I do it all on a weekend, I won’t do a good job and then end up pulling everything down and decorating again in a few weeks. This year…
Christmas Inspiration ( Favorite Homes )
I’ve wanted to blog for a while and in fact, I have about three blog posts ready to be posted but they have no photos to accompany them. My Camera seems to have had it and another camera isn’t in the budget right now. So, I’ll have to get really creative in the next few weeks. Today I wanted to…
Weathered Coffee Table
For a while I’ve been waiting for a cool old piece to pop up - but people around these parts ask way too much ( for everything) Me being on a budget of free or next to free, I got content Living without one. Then I saw this piece. It was a 100-something year old dresser. But I knew instantly…
How To Live With White ( When You Have Kids & Pets )
We all have those people in our lives who make comments about how they don’t know how we have white duvets, sofas, pillows and rugs when we have little ones running about. I’m here to tell you WHY this is the BEST colour in the world to have when you have young kids and pets. I’m also going to share…
Farmhouse Decorating On A Penny
This year has been a crazy roller coaster and in this time we have had to cut back a lot. I’ve always been one to not spend a ton, but even more so now. I like to find deals everywhere I go - or free is best in my mind. When we first moved into this cute rancher it was…
The Chippy Old Buffet
I have wanted to jump on in the last few days to share my chippy old buffet I picked up off Craigslist for pennies. It wasn’t in the greatest shape. Doors wouldn’t shut, dents and scratches in it. But I fixed it up & turned it into a lovely little distressed chippy TV Stand! Something I love to do but…
Spring Farmhouse Dining Room
Hey friends! I’ve missed you so much. As mentioned in a ton of earlier blogs in the last few months, I’m slowly cutting back on blogging. I’m obsessed with blogging and it’s such a fun outlet in my life. But when you have 101 things on the go, you sometimes have to put a few things on the back burner….
The Old Farmhouse Desk
Hey friends! I’ve dialled back on my blog a bit to really take advantage of my Young Living Business and sometimes with saying a hard yes to something, you need to say no to other things. As much as I find so much joy in blogging, I’ve only got so much time in a day. A few weeks ago for…
My Stunning Vintage Book Wall
Hey friends! I’ve been a busy little bee since I hit “Silver” in Young Living. It’s like a light bulb went off and I’m starting to take my business seriously. Don’t be sad, I haven’t forgotten about all you devoted readers. I just made a choice to start posting more quality content instead of blogging almost every day. But today…
Morris Farmhouse Dining Room
Guys, I literally have no patience. At all. I often think that if I were to have more patience maybe I would have a better blog. But C’est la vie! Today I’m excited to blog about my half completed dining room. We have the sideboard area completed, our Stikwood wall up, our white table set completed and now we’re just waiting…

Our White Woodsy Living Room
You guys! I’ve missed you. It’s been a bit of a struggle to jump on the blog this last week. I’ve had my three kiddos home all week and on top of that, our house has kind of been flipped upsidown as we’re changing a few things out & building new piece for our rooms. But for today, I’m here…

Our Restoration Hardware Inspired Console
Hey friends! Today has been a good day. I learnt how to properly shoot on my camera & instead of turning the ISO way up, I’m turning the shutter speed way down. Hurray!

The Best Faux Farmhouse Plants
Guys. Today was a whirlwind. For someone who lives in the real world, loosing an Instagram account wouldn’t be as big of a deal, but since I run my life on social media and really all my income stems from my blog, Instagram and Facebook, I was pretty panicked. After sending Instagram a ton of messages and receiving no replies…
The Chippy Wall Shelf
Something I love to do, call me crazy is score the internet for deals. 95% of the time I cannot purchase anything, but I like to keep these little deals in the back of my pocket for a rainy day. I completed my first e-design a few weeks ago for a client and with some of the money she paid…
White On White On White
So if the title of this blog didn’t give all things away - I painted my bedroom WHITE. Guys, this has been a dream of mine for so long.

The White Living Room Switch Up
Hello friends! It’s a snowy Friday here and I couldn’t be more happy. Snow is literally my favourite and I’m lucky because it’s coming down hard. Apparently we’re supposed to get 10-30 cm’s of snow before tomorrow night. I mean.. I understand we were all getting pumped for Spring, but one more snowfall wont hurt anyone. I’m so glad we had…
Farmhouse Patio Planters
Hey friends! I know my last post was a little lame. I do want to check in more, but lately things have been crazy. So crazy that I haven’t had much time to write a decent blog post. We have been working on these planter boxes since last november and I finally made Glen finish them for me so I…
Best Farmhouse Pillows & How To Pick Em’.
My sister and I were in the kitchen the other day and she said to me “Jess, how do you know what pillows to pick and how to style them?” I was kind of dumb struck.. and I didn’t really know what to say so I said what first came to my mind “Well, I just look for different textures…
Refinished Farmhouse Dresser
Guys.. I finally did it! I painted my blue dresser white! This has been a goal of mine for some time, probably like a year. But I kept putting it off. Finally I got really tired of looking at the blue dresser against my ugly yellow walls, so I finally painted it white and heavily distressed it like true Jess…
