county road living

Angie Wendricks from County Road Living on Instagram has perfected simple, minimalist, country living! Her style is so timeless & natural. She’s obsessed with natural materials like me! She inspired me to be more minimal. I love the way she styled the antique French zinc pots along with the rocks I sent her from near our house on Lake Michigan.

union willow

Tina of Union Willow on Instagram is such an amazing decorator & interior designer! I love how she decorates with so many antiques without making it look cluttered or overwhelming. It definitely takes skill to do that. She owns a 100+ year old house in New York that she has restored with her husband. I love how she styles the vintage sap bucket & French La Lorraine jar, she got from the shoppe, in so many different ways. She even styles the French straw market bag cute!

my hand built chicken coop

About 9 years ago I built our chicken coop all by myself with the only power tools being a drill & jigsaw! The only experience I had in building anything large out of wood was when I was a teenager & I built my cat a tower. I wanted chickens so bad that I wasn’t willing to wait until we moved out in the country! I went a little overboard on the design, because I wanted it to look like an English/French cottage. I saved a whole bunch of designs I wanted it to look like then drew up my own design to create. It took me all winter building it indoors then we brought it home, I built an attached run, & we bought some chicks a few months after that. I created circular air vents in the top sides right next to where they roost at night so they could have plenty of airflow, a cedar shake roof, little framed roof on top of the vents, wooden shutters that open, & a rope pulley for the door that lets them out in the morning! It was so fun building this - it definitely inspired me to do more building projects. Now if we ever move we’re going to have a problem taking this with us…
