Hey friends, things have been quite busy around our house and business lately! I wanted to update you on the progress of our store! 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!

Simple ways to add farmhouse style

August 7, 2017 by Fotini Filed Under: home decor

It won’t take long for you to realize I’m in love with farmhouse decor! Hence my blog name 😉 If you’ve been following me for awhile, you know my style has leaned more towards a mix of shabby chic and farmhouse. Today I’m sharing with you simple ways to add farmhouse style to your home!

I am no designing expert, but these are tips that I use throughout my home!

Use a nice neutral color-palette. I love this farmhouse palette from Behr. The walls throughout my home are painted Swiss coffee. I love this color because it goes well with seasonal decor and my every-day decor!

Add fresh flowers any and everywhere! Fresh flowers add instant charm to any space. I’m always browsing the local grocery for flowers on clearance or any daily deals. I’ve also grown a good bit from home through the landscaping. That saves me a little money 😉

White furniture! My instant go-to for painting old or new pieces, is white. You can’t go wrong with it. If it’s too clean for you, you can always add a dark wax. It appears fresh to the eye and styles well with many colors and designs.

Chippy furniture!! A farmhouse must-have! It has recently and quickly became one of my favorite things! You can check out my old antique table update here! Talk about adding instant charm? This is it! Not much decor is needed to make these pieces speak to a room!

It’s no secret that I love a good wreath! I have wreathes throughout my home for added decor. Adding a magnolia wreath adds instant farmhouse charm!

Painted furniture and handwritten signs! We specialize in making farmhouse handwritten signs, so adding them throughout our home is very special! I’ve been a little more brave lately with using other paint colors other than white! You can check out my Bergere antique table and antique wardrobe makeover.

As you can see in almost every picture I’ve above, there is greenery! I love adding greenery to my space. It livens it up instantly! Some of my favorites are eucalyptus, rabbit ears and dusty miller.

Some more of my farmhouse must-haves are:

Galvanized metal // mercury glass // canvas and/or neutral fabric // white ceramic

Thank you so much for stopping by today! As always, it was a pleasure to have you here!

See you next time 🙂
