Primitive Farm Decor

-
I am looking to add some primitive farm décor to my home as we remodel a bit. I started by painting a bread box today. This was blue with geese on the front of it and now it is a solid chalk matte color and I may paint my knife holder the same color as I like it.
 I may paint bread on the front of it, but I am not sure that I want to do that yet. What do you think?
Should I paint something on the front of it or just leave it be? I truly love the color and it is going to be perfect with the kitchen when it is finished. See the cow curtains behind it? They will be gone soon too as we will have drywall there or bifold doors. I am so excited! 

I am not feeling well as I have a head cold, but I am glad that I painted this today while my grand doll was with her mom. I am thankful that I can keep her but thankful to have some time to accomplish some of the work that I am wanting to get finished. My husband and I replaced our entry way floor yesterday. It had old ceramic tile on it and it is now hardwood laminate flooring. 

Life on the farm is beginning to go in a different direction and I am excited. After 12 years or longer here and nothing being done, it is time for some changes.

    What about a stencil? Joy at A Vintage Green is amazing and I get a lot of great ideas from her. Or rather I use HER great ideas!! Love that color!!

    Love the new look for the breadbox, perhaps something on the front would be nice:) Enjoy your day dear friend, HUGS!

    I like it when people reuse old things instead of rushing out to buy the newest. I suggest sitting it in the place you will be using it and look at it for a few days. It usually takes me a while to decide what I really want.

 As I was looking through my posts today, I see that I have failed my readers. Many of you were aware that my other daughter was pregnant and going to deliver in July, I am sure those of you that knew are wondering why I never posted about that and I must say that life has just gotten in the way, and I thought that I had written a post. Since I know I did not, I will now! He came when Mamaw was out of town! Can you believe that? He actually had the nerve to do something so ridiculous as to come while I was at the Pink Zebra reunion (our annual conference). I was with four of my best friends when we got the announcement that he was here! I was so happy that I was able to share that news with them before anyone else. Of course, the leaders of the company were there and anxious to hear how she was doing as well.  Deliver went fairly smooth, but she was in labor for quite a while. I am not sure on hours, but I think about 6 hours. There were some issues with my daughter following delivery

Something is Falling From The Sky

 Yesterday and today have been very cool days here on the farm and I must say that something that we don't recognize has been falling from the sky. It is wet and seems to be hanging around. IT is certainly what the ground needed as it seems to have soaked it up almost immediately. Rain, glorious rain!! The ducks are loving their pool and the rain, but I truly don't think that they are liking the cooler temperatures so much. I know I am not. I don't mind cool, but wearing my sweatshirt in June is not fun.  The white turkeys are enjoying the coop that my husband put together for them. We have 5 of them and two others. We won't be keeping all of the toms as we have too many.  Nesting boxes made of milk crates that we had lying around work well attached to the back wall.  Here is Tom. He is such a great boy, but he likes to show off. He gets along well with the chickens.  These are my Old English chickens. I like them as they are small and will never get much bigger. I actu

Happy Homemaker Monday - 1/8/24

 Hello! Welcome to my first Happy Homemaker Monday post for 2024. I am happy to join Sandra at  Diary of A Stay At Home Mom  to participate in this series. How has everyone's Monday morning been so far? Mine is slow as most Mondays, but I will be busy later. I really need to work on my direct sales business and get my inventory done for the year. Taxes will be soon and I need that information.  The Weather: The weather is predicted to be a little unsettled this week with periods of rain and snow throughout the week. Daytime highs in the 30's and 40's, which is a bit above average with lows in the upper 20's and lower 30's. Not too bad for this time of the year. I hate the rain as it just makes the farm a muddy, sloppy mess.  Right Now I Am: Sitting at my desk listening to the news and writing this post. My daughter just came over for coffee and to chat a bit.  Thinking and Pondering: What I will get accomplished this week and where I want to start for chores. I am t
