My Favorite Things- Fall Edition

October 6, 2017

It's been a little while since I've shared some of my favorite things, so today I'm bringing it back... fall edition! I've been gathering up a good list to share, and I'm hoping you're as excited about all these as I am!

Thank you for helping support our blog! We greatly appreciate it! First up, let's talk about slippers. My favorite slippers.

My Favorite Gluten Free Mixes by The Wood Grain Cottage

My Favorite Gluten Free Mixes

March 27, 2017

In the past I've shared that I'm gluten intolerant, so our house is basically 100% gluten free besides the few "normal" things Anthony likes to eat. In the beginning, it was difficult to find enjoyment in food. I felt like I was shoved on an island, not knowing what I could or couldn't eat, and being rather limited in what I "could" eat. I was determined to still enjoy life, by finding and creating food that tasted good. Luckily time, and trial & error has helped me figure things out. Now days, I don't find it a challenge at all... except when eating out or visiting family and friends, but even that has gotten better with time.  So today, I wanted to share my favorite gluten free ...

A Touch Of Farmhouse Charm by The Wood Grain Cottage

A Touch Of Farmhouse Charm

December 9, 2016

Blogging often has a way of bringing the most unexpected things to life. Things we never imagine happening, can, and often do happen. There's the opportunity of being published in magazines, being recognized by companies, launching product lines, writing books, etc., etc., etc. They all start out as dreams... as something we love to think about happening, but never think it actually will. Blogging has a funny way of making those things possible. Today, I want to share one of my sweetest friends and her new book, A Touch Of Farmhouse Charm with you. Please note: Some of the links in this post are affiliate links, which allows us to make a small commission from your purchase, but your ...

My Christmas Wish List

My Christmas Wish List

December 8, 2016

Today I wanted to share my Christmas wish list! I know how hard it can be to shop for family and friends, so this year I thought I'd share what I actually have (and want) on my list! Hopefully you'll find something that catches your eye, or something you maybe even add to your own list as well! :) It's no secret that I love home items. Be that anything home decor related, or kitchen items. I love it all. I'm also a lover of personal items, so my list has a wide range of items. :) Please note: Some of the links in this post are affiliate links, which allows us to make a small commission from your purchase, but your purchase price stays the same.

My Favorite Things

March 25, 2016

Happy Friday! Today I'm sharing another round of My Favorite Things! I had so many requests to keep this series going, so I'll try to do it once a month! This month, I started putting together my list of items and saw a pretty constant theme... lots of lighting/ lanterns and bedding. Again, just like last month, these are all items I actually own, so I can truly say I LOVE them!  Let’s get started, shall we? Please note: Some of the links in this post are affiliate links, which allows us to make a small commission from your purchase, but your purchase price stays the same.

If you've ever wondered what a few of my favorite things were, be that home decor, personal items, or things for DIY, then today is your day! I'm sharing my current favorites below.

Instagram post 17877687346486071 We are loving the evening glow from our Christmas tree! Today on the blog, I’m sharing all the details on our tree and the different steps and layers I used to create it. It’s such a beautiful addition to our living room. 🎄

Instagram post 17855703316617271 Happy Saturday! We’re installing more interior doors and trim today! What a big difference it makes! This fixer upper of ours has been making some big progress lately. 😍 
Throwback to my last house... but our new doors will look similar to these!

Instagram post 17856780565609483 Our new flocked Christmas tree arrived and I spent the afternoon setting it up and fluffing the branches. It’s such a tedious job, especially on a new tree, but it’s worth it! 
I’ve been trying to decide how I wanted to decorate this year, and while I was “fluffing”, I think I finally decided. And now I’m excited. 😬🎄 This lovely picture is from my last house, all decorated for Christmas. 😍

Instagram post 17842824415781814 On the blog, I’m talking all about designing and purchasing our IKEA cabinets. We still have a little ways to go before we “officially” have the cabinets completely installed and finished... and then we have all the other things we need to add, like a custom vent hood, backsplash and open shelves, just to name a few, but if you’re wanting to use IKEA cabinets, today’s post will give you a good idea of what to expect!

Instagram post 17881252693452397 I’ve been updating the home tour of my old house on the blog, and I ran into this gem of a picture. This breakfast nook was such a beautiful space.

Instagram post 17859897157563074 I’ve been on the hunt for a new flocked Christmas tree since this beautiful tree is waay too tall for our 8’ ceilings... and I don’t want to look like Clark Griswold with my tree stuffed in the corner about to burst through the window. 💁🏼‍♀️ Sooo... I searched high and low to find the best flocked Christmas trees. There are some seriously beautiful trees... and after getting our tape measure out, we finally picked our new tree and it should be here this week! 🎄

If you’re looking for a new tree, be sure to head to the blog... I’ve organized them by size to make it easy! 👍🏻 #thewoodgraincottage #thewgc #christmasdecor #christmastree #flockedchristmastree #ontheblog
