This past weekend Sweet Man, the boys, Judea and I all piled in the trailblazer and went to the country to look at some property. Daydreaming the whole way there and back about country life.
The property had a very small, but livable house. The kind you live in while you make plans to build a bigger one or add an addition on. Even though the trip was mostly just a fun excursion with a few “what if’s” built in, While Sweet Man dreamed of planting soy beans or hay, and the boys daydreamed about fishing in the pond and wading in the creek, I couldn’t help but daydream about decorating the small-but-well-lit family room in the little country house..
This is what I came up with, a happy, airy, comfy room with hints of industrial running through. Doesn’t it look fun? Wouldn’t you love to visit? Of course putting white flooring and furniture in a country house is probably the craziest idea ever but I don’t care -this is my daydream remember?
(most sources on my Pinterest)
(Don’t tell Sweet Man, but if we don’t move to the country in the next year, I am completely re-doing our living/dining/kitchen areas and I might just have to use this board as the jumping off point!)

LOVE it!!!! I'm so ready to re-vamp my farmhouse living room. You gots good ideas, Lady.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that inspiration board!!! And I know that you know you can totally make that wire light fixture on your own with an Ikea hanging cord set and an egg basket. In fact, when we get around to tweaking our kitchen, I am going to make that same lighting.
Oh, thank you for sharing those bandanas that you found, they would make lovely pillows!!
