Mom has been helping me so much on the farm I thought I’d help her at her house. She’s been wanting to set up a garden for the past two years to grow herbs and vegetables. We spent the day grading the area she wanted to put two 3.5 x 5 ft raised beds. Although pretty easy to put together the raise beds did take a while to set up. The raise bed platforms were stepped down from the top of the yard so we installed retaining walls with some 4x4 pressure treated posts and some spikes. Each bed required 24 cubic feet of soil mixture so a good 24 bags were needed to fill to the top. Let’s just say we’re both exhausted.

This deck looked sad and was a safety hazard. Don’t lean on the railings !!! Well I spent the day shoring up the railings and gave the deck a good power washing. It’s a night and day look!

We have cleaned so much trash off the property dumpster full in fact. But somehow we keep finding more junk. And it’s of a variety of stuff from tires, chain link fencing, rotten wood, tarps, carpets, horse blankets, concrete, and such. It seems like it’s never ending. Thankfully I have my trusty father helping me yank all the trash out and reclaiming the property. We can’t let the trash win !

We’ve renovated all the interior of the house - can’t leave out the exterior! Siding and shutters were still in good enough condition so we painted them. The front door was falling apart and desperately needed to be replaced. I love the color combinations. Sherwin Williams Blue Nile for the front door, Sherwin Williams Extra White for the siding, and Valspar Rugged Suede for the shutters. A huge thank you to Dad for weeding out the front landscaping area and mom for paint prep and painting the shutters. It was a family affair … who needs contractors. It was great to be able to save some money by doing it ourselves. Let me know what you think !

With the farm there are new chores that I’m not use to doing. There is plenty to keep me busy for eternity. There are a ton of overgrown trees on the property and I was graciously given a chainsaw for my birthday this year. First time for me using a chainsaw and 100% made sure to be decked out in my safety gear. My dad and I cleared out some of the fence line. This gave me my first batch of fire wood I’ll need to chop up for our outdoor fire pit. Doing chores and projects are laborious but they’re certainly rewarding !

Upstairs had a drastic transformation ! We knocked down the wall between kitchen and living room for a more open feel. I love when that morning sunlight shines through the large bay windows through the entire space. We were looking for clean and white with a splash of color hear and there. The dark walnut stained floors look fantastic contrasting the white kitchen cabinets. All new everything with cabinets, countertops, and appliances. I’m adding some bar stools to the island countertop for more sitting. The wood working side of me wants to build a long farmhouse style table that stretches the length of the kitchen. I want the kitchen to be filled with memories and Sunday dinners for friends, family, and neighbors to share. I can’t wait to start having people over !

I remember when I was older enough I started mowing my parents 1/4 acre lawn. It wasn’t my favorite chore but it was usually done in an hour or so. Now I have 5.5 acres to maintain. Phew. You definitely need the right tool for the job so I went searching for the right lawnmower. Buying a mower is like shopping for a car different price ranges different features paint jobs etc. it’s definitely a process but I went off the recommendation of one of the locals who said Cub Cadet was the way to go. So I now have my new baby a Cub Cadet Ultima ZT1 42 inch deck zero turn mower! It’s still a chore to mow the pastures as it takes about 5 hours out of my week to do everything. But I’ve somehow convinced my mom and dad about how fun it is to ride the mower. Suckers! They’re all trained up and rocking on the mower every week. I appreciate the help as it’s needed on this property. We have the pastures back from being overgrown the next part is hacking down the growth and trees on the fence line. Progress coming soon !

Come take a peek at my brand new bathroom. This is by far my favorite part of the renovation that was done upstairs. Peep that gray door with black hardware as you enter your spa retreat. We did gray doors and black door k***s throughout the house to give it tag modern feel. Inside we have a dual sink countertop with a modern farmhouse feel with sliding barn doors on the vanity and industrial lights hanging over the mirrors. The shower turned out gorgeous with an enlarged foot print and marble like finished floors with subway tiles and gray grout on the walls. We went with a geometric theme with the main floors and the shower floors to add a nice design feature. New toilet is a plus. And the fanciest feature is that my bathroom fan is also a Bluetooth speaker. So you can always have a song to listen to when you’re singing in the shower! I can steal credit for the design but all the work was done by
