Vintage Farm

I recently took a tour of the Beehive House; a wealthier pioneer house that has been kept in perfect condition through the years. Here are some pictures of the kitchen: This is a pioneer kitchen sink. This is an old-fashioned wood burning cooking stove with all of the bells and whistles.

I've shown this room a couple of times since my mom gave me some of her furniture, after she moved, but since then, there's been a few minor changes.

Kind of like the Carousel of Progress at Disneyland, except that there's no animatronics or fun sing alongs, and we're going backwards instead of forwards ;) This is the view of my kitchen from the doorway of the dining room. Essentially, this is how the kitchen always looks. I removed a bit of clutter, but I didn't really "stage" the room. Because, I just don't do that. meh. Oh and the tiny bit of Halloween decor is gone as of this morning. You might notice the dog bed under the island in…

From reclaimed wood to timeless antiques, there are countless ways to amp up your kitchen's country style.

The Let's Rock dog dress is stretchy cotton spandex on top with two fluffy pleather ruffles on the bottom. A pleather and pearl pin adorns the front of the dress but you can move it anywhere you the dress you like! A bit of Coco and a bit of Rebel, your fur baby will rock this style.
