WHAT IS FARMHOUSE DECOR?

The Farmhouse style is clean, homely, and charming yet full of character with light colors and a solid feel. These days farmhouse style has a more modern feeling and doesn’t delve into the country style of the past.

Although farmhouse decor is classed as modern, it still carries elements of shabby chic and distressed touches. These elements help to add character and a lived-in appearance.

ARE THESE PROJECTS BEGINNER FRIENDLY?

Yes! Some of these projects are small and relatively straight forward, others have more steps to follow using more advanced tools, but these come with full guides and plans.

We recommend getting a friend or partner involved with some of the furniture projects as it’s more fun and can make it easier when dealing with heavier materials.

This simple Galvanized bucket makeover is beautiful for adding a touch of authentic farmhouse decor to your home. Angie uses a cheap galvanized bucket and a simple image transfer process to transform this bucket from bleak to chic! If you want to skip the process of making an image transfer, you can always purchase a vinyl transfer instead.

I think this bucket would look great on the porch or in a mudroom.

It could even be a cute storage bucket for dog accessories or to display some fall decor.

The outcome from this project is truly gorgeous, rustic, and a fraction of the price of one you will find in a home store.

All you need to create this stunning wood framed mirror is a cheap mirror and some cheap fence pickets (along with your relevant tools and glue etc).

Storage space is a big deal in our home, and it always has been. I drool over beautiful DIY’s which are a combination of great looking decor and storage. I mean, space is a precious thing, especially in my home with two little ones and a spoiled cat.
