Happy Friday, friends!! ✨
So many exciting things are happening around here lately 🤍
This week we had our upper cabinets and cabinet doors installed. Caleb also finished the beautiful pillars for the kitchen island. It’s finally starting to feel like our dream kitchen is coming together 🥹
I think what I’m most excited about though are the copper hardware pieces, handles, and sink faucet still waiting to be installed. I absolutely love the vintage warmth they add against the clean white ✨
I’ve also been adding lots of new products to our Etsy shop, and orders have been coming in which has been such a blessing lately 🤍
Last night, I sanded the pantry & will be painting this weekend. Caleb has a super cool design for the pantry that I am stoked for.
We also have a big wood pickup planned this coming week for a project we’ve been so excited to start — we’ve just been waiting for a break in all this rain 🌧️
And finally… garden season is HERE 🌱
My seedlings are ready, the weather finally seems warm enough to stay, and everything is going into the ground this week. I can’t wait to watch our cut flower garden and veggie garden come to life 🌻🥕✨

Happy Saturday, friends!!!
Caleb & I have been burning the midnight oil lately trying to bring this kitchen to life…the heart of our home finally come together which has been such an exciting feeling for us. The girls have definitely been enjoying the cabinets just as much as we have. 🤍
Monday we have the laser measurements scheduled for the countertops we picked out, so things are really starting to move quickly now. We ended up falling back in love with white quartz — soft, subtle veining and all.
Today was also our very first day of hardening off the garden and flower seedlings! I’ve been so hesitant to plant with these cooler temperatures still hanging around but we are moving quickly with the fields now that the temperatures seem to be more stable now.
We also finally said goodbye to our 28-year-old water heater 🤯 — thankfully it gave us a slow leak instead of flooding the whole house. Between a brand new water heater, the kitchen coming together, and two fields being established, there’s a whole lot happening around here lately. 💪🏼

The evenings are still chilly, the seedlings still aren’t quite ready, and the days feel long sometimes… but the prettiest things take time. 🌱
Slow roots still grow deep.
And one day, all this waiting will bloom beautifully.

Happy Thursday, everyone!!!
I wanted to highlight some of my favorite products I love to make. We currently have roughly five different large projects going on right now, so these have taken a back seat but I am still happy to make them to order.
I am also refreshing our Etsy page so that’s taking me a little while especially with all the projects going on. At this time, you won’t be able to search our shop until I’m finished updating it.
What’s going on around the farm?
Getting the fields ready to go 🌱
Installing the irrigation systems 💧
Installing the electric fence ⚡️
Waiting for my seedlings to be ready to go 🪴
Home stretch with kitchen renovation 🛠️
Brand new order for pantry, & bedroom closets 🛠️
Chicken coop 🐥
Waiting for the cold to officially go away 😕 We are getting hit with below freezing temps at night this week, so even if I wanted to plant, I still wouldn’t be able to just yet - & it’s about to be May 🙃 Imagine that.
Here’s to the day 💪🏼

Happy Monday, friends! 🤍
It’s been a minute over here—Instagram is still where we’re most active, but I’m really making an effort to keep both updated more consistently.
We’re currently on our way home from Michigan after such a special Easter visit. Now it’s back to reality and hitting the ground running as we continue building this farm from the ground up - I mean that quite literally…this week, the fields need tilled & the dirt mounds will begin 💚🌿🌷
Before we left, Caleb finished the most incredible early wedding gift for my brother Tommy & his fiancé, Cheyeann—a handcrafted ash wood kitchen table with a custom stain. It turned out absolutely stunning… true farmhouse style and something they’ll have forever.
How beautiful is this piece? ✨
