Garage Doors
Garage doors are very, very, very tricky feature to pick out! They have lots of brochures and mostly everything is done on the internet, so there is lots of pictures. Which is all fine if the exact door you want is the featured picture on the brochure, and your computer or phone shows exactly...
Little Boys and Concrete Extras
The farmhouse is really getting close! We had the concrete extras poured last week. The biggest addition is the driveway up to the garage. We made this so it will double as a basketball court! There is a wire grid underneath the concrete to strengthen it. They also did not make the large...
Oregon Berry Birthday Cake
We celebrated Jenna's birthday with this beautiful cake. Jenna is from Oregon so we wanted to give her a little taste of home with this almond vanilla cake with Oregon triple berry filling. Of course I am on the go so I was looking for easy and tasty! I used two Pilsbury vanilla cake mixes. ...
Cabinets…. Call Me Crazy
Cabinets are one of the most seen and used items in your house. I think they really set the tone of the room they are in. Cabinets are an endless list of choices. The color is the first thing we think of, which is a big decision. The color in the kitchen is especially important these days...
My Dad and Paint
Color is one decision I've never had trouble making. I am a very visual person. That's how I learn best. I like capturing a moment on film. I like to wear lots of color. I arrange my clothes in my closet by color. The house I live in now is full of color. I love color. That is why I keep...
Metal Roof Quandary
The metal roof is one of the design elements from the very beginning of this project that Gary and I both wanted to do! Gary doesn't get to involved in the designing of the farmhouse but this was his baby all the way! My contractor and I kept bantering around the fact that the plans called for a...
Drywall Brings It Home
Well when you get the drywall put up on those bones the house really starts to become a home!! It is so amazing how much it changes the house. Once the drywall is up and you can't see through the walls any longer it finally gives you the opportunity to really feel the space! The hallways got a...
Viva La Gypsyville!
Once upon a time in a land not too far away, way down in Texas lived two gypsies that you could even watch on TV! They blogged and they made clothes, and made lots of things, and even inspired some style into Sierra Rae! Okay so I’m not Mother Goose, but there had to be a little magic spun into...
It’s A Pink Out at the Farmhouse!
Well the farmhouse turned pink overnight! Yes......Pink! So I thought that was great fun that the insulation is a very bright pink! Who designed it that color anyway? Was it a working man that loves cotton candy? Or a cute working woman who loves to throw a little color in her life for...
The Big Tin Cotton Gin
The Big Tin Cotton Gin Vintage Market is the most wonderful understated market that I have been to! I was fortunate enough to be invited to come and blog about the market and what a special invite that was! Pam Vowell is the owner of the cotton gin. She is a warm, welcoming, lovely lady who is...
The Powder Room
“She is far more precious than rubies.” - Proverbs 31:10 At the Sweet Flower Home Farmhouse Blessing, all the guests were asked to write their favorite scriptures on the walls of the farm house. Of course I chose the powder...
DIY Christmas Reindeer
My daughter Whitney picked up some scrap wood from the farmhouse and made this beautiful reindeer sign. It was very easy to put together. She picked up three pieces of wood and used wood glue to hold them together. Then she chalked painted the wood white and sanded the outer edges to give it...
Inside the Walls
It is getting busy inside the walls of the farmhouse! The HVAC people have been in putting in all the duct work for the air conditioning and heating. I kept repeating to the guys.....I don't want to be hot!.....are you sure there is enough cooling power? They kept assuring me that there would...
Big Beams
The Big Beams are up! Wow! They were awesome just sitting on the ground and now I love them even more up in the farmhouse! They were such a work of art by the framers. These guys cut these big beams just the right size, sanded the edges and hoisted them up 20 feet in the air! Each of the...
Window Wonder
Windows! Windows! Windows! I just love windows! I believe I have 46 windows all together in the farmhouse. The architect loved windows also, so I even have a window in the laundry room. Actually many of my big windows have their own little windows above them. My toilet room in the master...
Meet Carrie
Arizona Farmer and Blogger
I strive to share hospitality and agriculture. I want to encourage people to make others welcome in our homes, on the road and in our everyday life! It’s so important to share how our food and fabric is grown on the farm. My hope is that I can inspire you through our beautiful farmhouse, days on the farm, and building strong relationships that matter.
