Hello my Farmgirl friends! I’m excited to sit down and visit with you again! I don’t know if it’s just me… but these months fly by like the wind!

This past month I’ve been doing a few updates in our little farmhouse; mostly just paint touch-up and a few simple changes in decor items. But as I was deep cleaning, touch up painting, and rearranging a few things in my guest bedroom I was wishing for something different and unique to go on the wall above one of the guest beds… a space that was empty right now.

Thanks for the awesome idea. My friend has a quilt with some family history but was never taken care of, has stains all over and rips, but I thought some parts could be saved to make a pillow. However, a framing of the saved piece would work better. What is the safest way to wash an old, bedraggled quilt?
Your gallery wall looks great!
We have an open concept ranch house and I filled one of our dining room walls with a gallery of family photos. Photos of the people who have passed never change. Otherwise, I try to change the photos once a year, but use the same frame. One tradition I started was sending out photo Christmas cards with several photos from the year and a short narrative. I always include an updated photo of us, an updated photo of our home and then photos of the places we traveled and family updates, like my nephew and his bride when they got married last year.
I also love to paint water colors, and although work and a big move stopped me from painting much over the last several years, I already have a nice collection for a gallery wall and a couple vignettes around the house. I recently retired from working full time, and my husband made me a beautiful art studio on the property of our new home. I look forward to spending more time painting once we wrap up our summer travels.
I really enjoy your blog! 🙂
Dori, that looks beautiful and turns a blank wall into a masterpiece. I have so many quilt blocks looking for a home and I think I found a place, thanks to you! Our local thrift shop always has frames under a dollar. Your room looks gorgeous. My kind of decor. Thanks for always inspiring and sharing your ideas with us. You are a blessing.

Okay, the paper placement idea may be simple, but it’s the most brilliant idea ever! Gonna rummage through my orphan blocks right now. Oh, and your curtains have sparked another project for me. One project sparked so many ideas!
I love your gallery wall! It turned out beautifully. I have a wall in my dining room that is a gallery wall of photos. There is no order to it – it’s been filled in over the years with what I can fit in here and there. Some of the pictures I change out now and then and some stay put. Like you said – it’s all about what makes me happy! I love the idea of framing quilt blocks or other projects for the bedroom. I think I’m going to see what I have stored away….
P.S. I absolutely love those cheery yellow curtains!!!
