The beginning of Farmhouse Chic…

July 30, 2018 by Fotini Filed Under: Storefront Leave a Comment

A question we seem to get often is how we got started, so that brings us to the beginning of Farmhouse Chic….

I started this sweet little blog of mine in 2010! Long before the days of Pinterest or before anyone knew who Chip & Jojo were! It was my little spot where I could share my daily inspirations! It was like my own clip board that I was sharing with anyone willing to look & listen! As time went on & life happened, we purchased our first home. This is where I really began to get a passion for creating & began to find out what my interior design preference really was.

Fast- forward a bit to about 2015. This was my first year branching out & taking part in a local barn sale. I had a collection of vintage/ antiques & hand-made items. I was just beginning to create my own farmhouse signs at this point. I had a successful first show & it left me eager to work even harder for the next show. I signed up to take part in the next barn sale she was having, which would of been June 2016. Little did I know, during the coming months, my life was about to change.

I ended up getting a divorce & really questioned if this was going to be the end of Farmhouse Chic. By the grace of God, I met an amazing man who had recently gone through what I had just gone through. We began to date & not long after, we began creating some of our very own pieces together! He enjoyed wood-working & was the brains behind my visions! We did our first show together in Fall of 2016. Since then, we have done almost a dozen shows together & keep working hard to make Farmhouse Chic better each time!

We always seemed to get the question: “Do you have a store?”. Always responding “no” seemingly left me feeling bleak. People were interested in our products & the style that we were offering! The mere thoughts of them wanting to shop our items from a store was beyond exciting! That brought us to seriously considering the thoughts. After a lot of contemplating the pros & cons of opening our own brick & mortar storefront, we decided to go for it! [Read more…]

We are in the final days of completion and couldn’t be more excited as our GRAND OPENING date nears! In case you missed it, our grand opening date is set for Friday, May 11th & Saturday, May 12th NOON- 5 pm. both days. The first 25 people each day will receive a goodie bag with a 25% off coupon on one item of choice, too!

Here’s what to expect the day of our grand opening event! The local Pataskala Chamber will be coming to do a ribbon cutting with us, Friday May 11th at noon! What a fun way to kick off our big day and include all of those attending! We will have a parking attendant directing traffic flow on the premises to ensure there is an organized flow throughout the weekend. Mr. Farmhouse Chic will be grilling up some of his speciality burgers and hot dogs on the grill under his food tent, for purchase! Dining tables and chairs will don the space for you to sit down, relax and enjoy a bite to eat! We will be offering personalized Farmhouse Chic sugar cookies and light refreshments inside the store, while supplies last! There will also be a portable bathroom on site.

We absolutely cannot wait to celebrate all of our hard work in that little 420 square foot space! Expect the store to be packed full of goodies, ranging from home decor, fashion, fragrance, furniture & jewelry! We are so blessed to have a total of 8 Ohio- local vendors bringing their goods to share with you all as well! Now, without giving away too much, I want to give you a sneak peek inside the store!

Our space is a little tight for the crowd expected to attend, so please bare with us as we will try our best to accommodate everyone as best as possible!

The support we have received from family, friends & the community has been amazing! Thank you to each & every one of you who support your local makers! We look forward to seeing you next weekend at our GRAND OPENING event!
