Simple Seat Deconstruct in Four Easy Steps

Sometimes in life, you just need a new place to park your butt. If the last two years of the pandemic have revealed a smidgeon of a silver lining, it's motivated you to get off your butt and start a project or...well...fifty seven projects (in my case). It's true - the pandemic has led to people spending more time at home. That means DIY's are at an all time high, guys! If you're like me, you enjoy a good DIY that doesn't leave you overtaxed and yelling obscenities at inanimate objects. I try to ... VIEW POST

How to Create a Simple yet Spooky Scene for Halloween

I just love spooky season! Whether you go totally creepy for Halloween or you keep it toned down, there are so many ways to sprinkle touches of "spook" throughout your space!

Now, I'm going to share how to create a simple yet spooky scene for Halloween that strikes just the right mood. First up - spooky portraits. There is nothing that says "spook" quite like ...

Scotcharoos: The Best Chocolate & Peanut Butter Fix

Scotch-a-what??? You say? Odds are, if you're from the Midwest, you know what I'm talking about. You'll also remember these if you ever took a math class with my mom. The rest of you may be clueless -- but not for long! Scotcharoos are the best chocolate and peanut butter fix this side of, well, everywhere! My love for scotcharoos began as a kid doing speed drills. Yeah, you heard that right. So, my mom was an elementary math teacher. Every week, we would begin a class with the thrill that can ...

A Simple Porch Refresh with a Bewitching Twist

Who's in the mood to talk porches (*jumps up and down waving arms sporadically* MEMEMEMEME!)?! And, not just *any* porch, I might add. We're talking FALL porches babes! Oh, hey. I’m Jess. I post daily inspiration on Instagram over on @farmonhogbacklane. You can always find me blogging about home decor and life as a large, messy family of seven with a truckload of animals (also, we’re always sticky). I'm thrilled to be able to join a talented group of fellow bloggers as we share inspiration for ... VIEW POST

Fabulous Fall Area Rugs for an Extra Comfy Vibe

Rugs, rugs, and more rugs! Rugs are like shoes. They are the foundation of your "look" and they come in all styles. They say that you can tell a lot about a person from the shoes they wear (I have no idea who "they" are, by the way) and I think the same could be said about rugs. Now, rugs may not fit as well in the closet (man, I could totally use a closet organizer for rugs...), but they don't have to because rugs are made to be scattered across the floor (unlike shoes...I mean I have special ...

Taco Salad: The Best Thing About Football Season

Don't hate me, y'all. It's not that I dislike football. It's just...I don't really *like* football. I mean, I'm all for butt-slapping the next guy but for seven months?? C'mon. It's a long season and I think what annoys me most about it is the amount of chit-chat over throwing and catching a ball. Like, I could never be a football announcer person. I would be happy to make commentary about the shirtless dude wearing a cheese wedge on his head while doing what looks strangely like some sort of ... VIEW POST
