    How To Build A Scarecrow

    / July 18, 2020

    The way I see it, a person isn’t nothing more than a scarecrow… The only difference between one that stands up good and one that blows over is what kind of a stick they’re stuck up there…

Please take my *possibly dirty* hand as I turn “junk” into treasures, plant lots of flowers, feed some animals, make that recipe and/or make the most of my tiny home! And, if we get messy along the way, a little dirt don’t hurt;)

Part 2 OF THE SCARRED PUMPKIN 🎃🍂 Do you remember Part 2 OF THE SCARRED PUMPKIN 🎃🍂

Do you remember this project??? I promised to share PART # 2!!! 

At the end of summer, while this pumpkin was still growing, I used a barn quilt stencil to scar a design into it…and I’ve been waiting ever since to see how it would turn out! 🤗

Now it’s finally off the vine and has found its place on our fall front porch. 🤎 I absolutely love how the design aged and became part of the pumpkin as it grew. (I’ll reshare the reel showing how I made it in my stories!)

I surrounded it with pumpkins, the prettiest Candy Corn mums and some of my favorite old things. And did you spot that sweet little concrete squirrel? 🐿️ 
He came in one of my w.s.mercantile Home Decor Subscription Boxes. They offer subscription boxes filled with curated seasonal pieces like this, and I love finding places to tuck them into my decorating.🤎

Would you try this ???? 🎃

25+ YEARS IN THE GARAGE + 3 EXTREMELY HOT WEEKENDS 25+ YEARS IN THE GARAGE + 3 EXTREMELY HOT WEEKENDS LATER… 😂🙌

I've wanted to bring this old piece into the house for years!!! 🤎

It's been sitting out in our garage for more than 25 years, and I believe it may have even come out of the original farmhouse. It was definitely once part of something bigger—and it has plenty of quirky little details to prove it.

Before we could do anything with it, I had to clean off years of dirt, grease, old spray paint and, quite frankly, some bug nastiness. 🤢😂 Josh added a beadboard back, moved a few pieces of trim around so things made a little more sense, and then I got to work sanding and painting it.

But I didn't want to make it perfect. 🤗🤎

There are dents and worn places in the shelves that I purposely left alone. The old hinges, the odd construction and all those little imperfections are part of what made me LOVE it in the first place. I wanted it to still look and feel OLD—not like a brand-new hutch made to look old.

And then came my favorite part—styling it for fall. 🍂 redfoxprimitives helped me bring it all together with pick berries, a berry candle ring, a faux pumpkin a new fall candle and pumpkin cornbread potpourri tucked in among some of my old bowls and collected pieces.

After more than 25 years of waiting in the garage, it finally made its way into our farmhouse. And somehow, all those quirky little things that never quite made sense before feel just right now. 🤎

WHERE DO YOU FIND INSPIRATION?? 🍂🤎 Before I start WHERE DO YOU FIND INSPIRATION?? 🍂🤎

Before I start decorating outside for fall this weekend, I’ve been doing what I always do this time of year — looking for a little inspiration. 🤩

One of my favorite ways to get ideas is by slowing down with a good home or garden magazine. I love seeing different rooms, porches, gardens and little decorating details that spark an idea I can make my own.

barnesandnoble is such a great place to browse when I’m looking for that kind of inspiration, and I love that I can shop so many of my favorite titles right from the Barnes & Noble website!!🙌 

🔗You can find the LINK IN MY BIO! fanstoshop

Now I just need to turn all that inspiration into ACTUAL FALL DECORATING this weekend!! 

What's your favorite place to find inspiration? Magazines, online, your own old photos ???

LET’S PLAY A LITTLE GAME TODAY. 🍂 I’m going to pr LET’S PLAY A LITTLE GAME TODAY. 🍂

I’m going to pretend I’ve already decorated outside for fall… and you’re going to pretend you don’t know the difference. 😂

Truth is, life has been FULL lately and I haven’t even started on the outdoor fall decorating yet. (Plus it's been 100° 🥵) But I think I'm almost all caught up now!!!🙌

So Fall outdoor decor is happening this weekend!!!!🙌

But in the meantime, I had to share this favorite fall view again because our little old shed made it onto the BACK COVER of the new fall issue of americanfarmhousestyle magazine. 🥹🍁

Seeing this little corner of our home there still feels pretty surreal.

So for today… we’ll just call this my 2026 fall decorating. 😂

The real pumpkins, mums, cornstalks and all the fall mess are coming soon. 🤎

SOMETIMES FALL IS JUST A FEW LITTLE LAYERS. 🍂🤎 I SOMETIMES FALL IS JUST A FEW LITTLE LAYERS. 🍂🤎

I didn’t completely redo the pantry for fall. I already loved it just the way it was, so I simply tucked in a few seasonal touches here and there.

I strung some little gourds across the herb dryer I recently added, brought in a gourd and corn husk garland, a few pumpkins, and some bittersweet…and that was really all it needed.

And honestly, those old brown crocks might be some of my favorite fall decor without even trying to be. 🤎 Their warm, earthy color just feels so right this time of year.

Sometimes you don’t need to change the whole room with the seasons. Just a few simple touches mixed in with the things you already love can make it feel completely different. 🍁

Come upstairs with me roseblockantiques .....

Let's climb up the old stairs, turn left, down the hallway with the creaky floors, take a right — and you’ll find a little corner of Down Shiloh Road tucked inside Rose Block Antiques.🤗

I’ve filled it with the kind of things I’m always hunting for myself — old wood, woven baskets, worn finishes, primitive pieces, vintage kitchen finds, ironstone and all those perfectly imperfect things that make a home feel collected over time. 😍

If you’re nearby, come upstairs and wander around. You never know what you might find. 🤎

And apparently I’m not the only one curious about what’s in my booth. 🤔🐈

PROOF YOU DON’T HAVE TO DECORATE THE WHOLE ROOM TO PROOF YOU DON’T HAVE TO DECORATE THE WHOLE ROOM TO MAKE IT FEEL LIKE FALL. 🍂

Sometimes fall doesn’t need to take over the whole house.

Give me one little nook, an old pie safe, a few worn kitchen pieces, dried bits from the garden and a pumpkin or two…and I’m happy. 😆

I think these little nooks are actually my favorite ones to change with the seasons. Nothing fancy, nothing really “new” — just moving around the things I already love until the corner feels like fall. 🤗

And apparently I will forever believe there is room for one more tiny cupboard. Small pie safe from antiquefarmhouse !!! 🤎

If you’re running low on time to decorate for fall, decorating one little nook is a great way to still celebrate the season without dragging out all of the Rubbermaids. 🤣

Did you spot the dried pumpkin stems ????

A LITTLE FALL PANTRY REFRESH….. although “little” A LITTLE FALL PANTRY REFRESH…..
although “little” might be stretching it. 😂🍂

I changed everything around and brought in all those warm, cozy fall tones I love — old crocks, worn wood, baskets, pumpkins, and all the collected pieces that make this space feel like me.

The plaid pumpkins, pretty stems spilling out of the crock and the wheat hanging on the side are from antiquefarmhouse 's CORNFIELDS & CANDLELIGHT COLLECTION, and they blended in so perfectly with everything I already had.

This might be one of my favorite versions of this pantry yet. 🤎

THIS IS DANGEROUS!!!! 🙈 I have a feeling this who THIS IS DANGEROUS!!!! 🙈

I have a feeling this whole “becoming an antique vendor” thing may be slightly dangerous. 😂

Because apparently I’m supposed to sell things in my booth…not walk around roseblockantiques finding everything I want to bring home. 🤣🙌

Here are a few things currently threatening my future booth profits. 🤑

Which one would take your money first? 😍
