Farmgirl Farmhouse Fall Table

We recently returned from visiting my 100 year old Farm in the Upper Snake River Valley in Eastern Idaho. Our time was well spent as we visited friends and placed flowers on the gravesites of my family. As we walked the farmland and watched the early Fall Harvest I felt renewed, centered and inspired. The amber waves of grain, sweet scent of fresh cut hay, mountain streams gushing into the snake river and gentle memories.

On this trip "home," I realized just how much my farming roots continue to influence so much of my lifestyle today and decorating our home is one of them.

Farmgirl Essential #1 Fresh Flowers

Fresh cut flowers are part of my daily living, they are without a doubt a Farmgirl essential.

A day without several bouquets of fresh flowers throughout our home is like a day without sunshine. 

Forget purchasing bouquets at the grocery store, just plant a few of these old time favorites and you are going to have armfuls of fresh flowers all Summer long, no matter what planting zone you live in.

Short on space, just toss some in a big ole flower pot and watch them grow.

The good news is this, anyone can grow celosia, sunflowers, lemon basil and zinnias.

My 100 Year Old Farm Influences Me

Low and behold in August of 2021 I suddenly realized this is my 100 year old Farm.

Hello??? I finally get it now - on just how much my Farming roots continues to influence my life; decorating, dressing, cooking, growing, thinking and living too. 

My Farming roots are the foundation of my life.

My homemaking skills, crafting abilities and gardening ventures were acquired in youth and continue to sustain me today.

 I absolutely love creating a home that reflects this passion, design and attitude.
