Meet Becky

I have made my profession as a Social Worker but have always been a designer at heart. I am a proud mom of 3 kiddos and lifelong DIY'er. My husband and I are not afraid to roll up our sleeves to tackle a project ourselves if we can save a litte money, with the recent being the completion of building our dream home. Here we will share our story; including building and design tips, tutorials and DIY projects.

Loving a slow Sunday morning here with a big fat cup of coffee ☕️❤️ I try to find a little time on the weekends to reset for the upcoming week. Our dining room is at the end of our kitchen and has windows all around it, we rarely use the space because the kids prefer to use the island for eating. There really is not much wall space and I have been on the fence about adding curtains - what do you all think? Would love to hear ideas! #diningroom #diningroomdecor #farmhousediningroom #farmhousediningtable #blackwindows #pellawindows #farmhouselighting #diningroomlighting #modernfarmhousebuild #modernfarmhouse #reposegray #fixerupperinspired

Happy Fri-yay! The flowers in my garden box were drowned with this week’s rain but are getting some sunshine today 🌞 my handy hubby threw this box together for me using some reclaimed barn wood and recycled brackets. #gardenwindow #windowbox #reclaimedwood #diyplanter #diy #barnwoodprojects #farmhouse #whitefarmhouse #blackwindows #lpsmartside #lpsmartsiding #boardandbatten #modernfarmhouse #modernfarmhousebuild #frontporch #spring #flowers #springplanters

Happy Hump Day friends! I am enjoying a short work week and looking forward to another project filled weekend!

Today I am sharing a little bit of old and new on this corner of our pantry shelving. I love finding pretty vintage bowls and glassware but until now never had a place to display them.

Here’s a sneak peek of some of the projects that have been keeping us busy the past couple of weeks. When we built our home we lived temporarily in my brother’s basement so we moved in as soon as we were allowed -but still had a lot of work to get to our finished vision for our home. I am obsessed with this shiplap wall painted in Benjamin Moore Wrought Iron ❤️ #paintedshiplap #blackshiplap #accentwall #masterbedroom #farmhouse #modernfarmhouse #shiplap #diy #blackwall #whitetrim #modernfarmhouse #homedesign #homedecor #darkshiplap #benjaminmoore #wroughtironpaint #benjaminmoorewroughtiron

What do you ave planned for the weekend? I am hoping to make a trip to my favorite flea market! Last year I scored this huge glass vase for just $20! It’s big enough so it on the floor and I love changing out the stems in it. #farmhouse #farmhousedecor #fleamarketfinds #glassbottle #fleamarket #farmhousedecorating #vintage

Instead of tackling my to-do list last weekend I decided to redecorate the front porch. It’s so welcoming now and it’s finally warm enough to sit on it in the evenings while the kids are outside. It’s amazing how some plants and flowers can completely change the feel of a space! Happy Friday all! #farmhouse #modernfarmhouse #frontporch #porch #porchdecor #spring #layeredrugs #frontdoor #blackdoor #welcome #farmhouseporch

Look at the birthday surprise I received this week

Look at the birthday surprise I received this week from my honey! It’s the theater seats that I found antiquing during our trip to visit my parents in Iowa. I’ve been so sad that I left it behind so he went back for it- I had no idea! For now, we have put it right inside the front entry but it may end up moving to another space. 😍 #farmhouse #homedecor #furniture #antique #antiquefurniture farmhousedecor #farmhousedecorating #bench #vintage #vintagebench #antiquebench #fleamarketfinds

Thought I would share one of my favorite lights in our house. We have it in a small hall space just inside the front door. Without a lot of open wall space for hanging decor, I tried to pick a fixture that would make the space interesting. #light #lights #lightfixture #lightfixtures #star #farmhouse #farmhouselighting #modernfarmhouse #modernfarmhouselighting #homedecor #homedecorating #fixerupperstyle

I am feeling grateful for days full of sunshine and the warmer temps to open some windows and doors. After a long and brutal winter here, we are beyond ready for some fresh air! We planned for our home to have a lot of natural lighting in it so we can take advantage of the outdoors as much as possible. #farmhousehome #farmhouse #modernfarmhouse #modernfarmhousestyle #coastalfarmhouse #grey #openconcept #neutraldecor #neutralhome #farmhousedecor #farmhousedecorating #newhouse #newhomeconstruction #newhome

Good morning! This is my last stop on my way out the door in the mornings. I leave with two large travel mugs of coffee every day ☕️. I love having a walk in pantry and take advantage of hiding kitchen gadgets and dry goods but am on the lookout for other ideas. How do you make your pantries most efficient for storage? #farmhouse #pantrygoals #pantryideas #pantryorganization #openshelves #pantry #coffeebar

It’s finally warm enough here in Wisconsin to have hummingbirds visit us on our screened porch. Loving my watercolor print for all seasons ❤️. #hummingbird #hummingbirds #art #print #wallart #framed #framedart #watercolor #hummingbirdart #farmhouse #farmhousedecor #farmhousedecorating #wallhanging

We went for a walk tonight after dinner and I decided to snap a pic of the house exterior- bonus from this angle is you can’t see the unfinished yard and driveway 😂🤷‍♀️ the to do list is never-ending. Especially when I keep changing my mind with all of the amazing Insta-Inspiration. #farmhouse #farmhousehome #modernfarmhouse #modernfarmhousestyle #whitehouse #whitefarmhouse #whiteexterior #newhouse #newhome

I used these wrought iron hooks -each in a different animal and metal color add a little character in our custom mudroom bench. They are both functional and fun!
