Who doesn’t love Reba McEntire’s song, Fancy? Seriously, y’all. It’s a total classic. My little five year old self would literally sit in front of the television watching TNN (The Nashville Network) back in the day before heading to school just praying to see the Fancy video. And honestly, if you don’t like it, I…

*This post is sponsored by DISH, however all opinions are 100% mine. Affiliate links may also be contained in this post. It’s been awhile, but if you took the farmhouse Christmas tour, then you may have noticed that there were a few changes/updates to the living room there. Usually just about the time I declare…
Over 50 Home Decor Fabrics under $15 a yard
In the last month or so, I have scoured online fabric stores looking for the perfect upholstery material for projects in my office and upcoming projects at the farm. Usually, I end up finding the perfect fabrics, but not at the perfect prices. Champagne taste on a beer budget. The story of my life. This…
Free Printable Horse Art
My pap bought my brother and I a horse once. His name was Charley. I shit you not. He bucked my brother and I off one day though and after that my pap just told us Charley ran off to the ridge. In reality, he got sold. I didn’t get on another horse for a…
Farmhouse Updates
Disclosure: Mohawk Home provided me with two rugs for the farmhouse, however all opinions are mine. Affiliate links may be included in this post, which means if you purchase something through one of those links, I may earn a small commission, but you won’t pay a dime more. It’s been a little slow going at the…
Traditional Nautical Farmhouse Bathroom Renovation
I partnered with Hayneedle on this bathroom project, however all opinions are 100% mine. My grandparent’s bathroom never changed while I was growing up. It always sported the same blue and black wall tile, the wall-mounted sink from the 50’s and a once-white-yellowed with time laundry hamper. The Bathroom Before Above that laundry hamper was…
Seeing Red. The Circus’ Farmhouse Bedroom Plans
I didn’t want to be that mom. That mom who never let her kid have the kind of room they wanted. That mom who didn’t give her kid any creative freedom when it came to decorating their room. I really really didn’t want to be that mom. This is where not being that mom got…
NuCore Flooring: How It’s Holding Up After A Year
Multiple times a week, I get questions about the NuCore flooring we put down throughout the living room, dining room and kitchen in our house. Apparently, it’s become a very popular option in flooring. NuCore is an engineered floor, that looks like hardwood, but is actually a tough top layer of luxury vinyl adhered to a…
Making the Knotty Pine Look Good: The Farmhouse Kitchen Plans
Disclosure: Bellacor provided me with the lighting for this room and Minted provided me with the art. All opinions are mine. Affiliate links may be included in this post. We are in the home stretch of the farmhouse remodel, y’all! Well, the home stretch of the interior of the farmhouse anyway. We still have a lot…
5 Ways to Decorate Your Entire Home On a Tiny Budget
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of CORT. All opinions are 100% mine. With the farmhouse remodel, there are some rooms where the budget is teeny-tiny and by teeny-tiny, I mean practically non-existent. #truth The whole thing didn’t have a big budget to start with and then when we realized that we…
Ya gonna hang weeds on the wall?
Disclosure: I partnered with Hayneedle on this makeover, however all opinions are 100% mine. My uncle has always tended to tell me like it is. So when he walked into the farmhouse a couple of weeks ago and saw framed botanical prints laying against the wall with a hammer and nails beside them, his remark…
How to Make Mood Boards
Some people call them mood boards. Some call them design boards. I like to refer to them as “the way I don’t eff up an entire room makeover.” Potayto, potahto. Tomayto, tomahto. Seriously though, design boards, mood boards, whatever you want to call them are so damn helpful when it comes to seeing what will and…
The Farm: Traditional Casual Master Bedroom Design
I’m going to be real honest. I didn’t expect to be this excited about how the master bedroom is shaping up at the farm. When it comes to design, I’m usually not traditional at all. I mean, have you seen the 70’s Landing Pad? But with the farm house, I felt going more traditional, but…
The Farm: Living Room Design Plans
*This post is sponsored by DISH, however all opinions are 100% mine. Affiliate links may also be contained in this post. So I warned you that the design of my grandparent’s house that we’ll be living in part-time was going to be very different than what our 70’s Landing Pad looks like. I wasn’t kidding….
How to Rock Black Walls
Disclosure: This post is sponsored by SmithHonig, however all opinions are 100% mine. Affiliate links may be contained in this post. If there is one thing in the 70’s Landing Pad that everyone thought I was crazy for doing, it was painting the walls black. That move was also one that I’ve never thought twice…
Renovated Split-Level Home: My Spring Home Tour
‘Tis the season….for another home tour! While we actually had a little snow last week and freezing temperatures for most of the week here, I’m wishing with all my might that Spring will bring it’s happy little ass here soon. Alas, living in the Tennessee Valley, you never really know what kind of weather you…
Black, White and Brass Kitchen Remodel
Affiliate links included in this post. I need to be clear on something. This remodel of The 70’s Landing Pad has not been a one man band. It has not been a two or a three or a four man band either. It’s more like a fix or six man band, made up of random…
The Best Coffee Table Books
I believe in making your home a reflection of yourself. If that means merging your love for good country music, black walls, the 70’s, a pop of red and The Rolling Stones into one space, then I say go for it. Own it. Fly that freak flag, baby. Sure, I might buy a little knick-knack…
Free Printable Project Planner for Room Makeovers
I am notorious for starting a project off strong, getting 90% finished, and then……I’m at a standstill. Still there. And still nothing. All that little stuff at the end, while it’s usually relatively easy and often fun (hello, accessories!), I always put it off. Always. Thus, why you have yet to see a dedicated post on…
20 Upholstered Affordable Accent Chairs for $300 or Less
I have been perusing the land of accent chairs recently to replace the two ghost chairs that are in our living room. From the time we moved in, I knew I wanted something more formal and upholstered in there instead of the ghost chairs. While the ghost chairs are great for occasional chairs to have…
50+ Pillow Covers and Pillows Under $20
I have a weakness for pillows. As I’m pillow shopping, I often sing to myself. “Go insane, go insane, throw some pillows, make it rain.” Yes, I do replace some song lyrics with home decor related terms and it makes perfect sense to me. It made perfect sense to you too, didn’t it? That’s why…
A page from Grannie’s Interior Design Playbook…
My Grannie was a teacher for 34 years. While I have sweet memories of dancing around the living room to country music with her and swinging on the hammock until I fell out and rolled down the hill, I still eat up every little snippet I hear about her from other people, especially her former…
Five Ways to Decorate a Room with Wood Paneling and Make It Look Good
Affiliate links may be contained in this post. Not to be Captain Obvious, but I am all for making your home look good, especially considering this is primarily a home decorating blog. I am all for updating those laminate countertops, hiding those popcorn ceilings, ripping up the wall-to-wall carpeting and other things of that nature. But…
The Easiest Way to Hang Heavy Pictures and Other Heavy Wall Decor
Affiliate links may be contained in this post. If you haven’t noticed, one thing the 70’s Landing Pad has a lot of that the Beloved Foreclosure didn’t is art – big art. Wall Color / Art / Chandelier / Full Entryway Makeover I like big art and I cannot lie. Hanging large and heavy art though…
