In these first few weeks of February, we are definitely in the “waiting for spring” mode. I tried to add cheer to this dreary season with a little decorating. Come over and tour our winter farmhouse bedroom.
Anyone else just a little tired of winter? I have always loved living in an area with very definite seasons. Hot summers, snowy winters and beautiful weather in the spring and fall. But with five kids packed tightly in this tiny farmhouse, I think I could handle moderate weather year round. Plus, I have a certain little four year old boy who belongs outside, if ya know what I mean.
To make the master bedroom a little more cheery while we’re waiting for spring, I spruced it up with some winter decor.
I bought fresh eucalyptus back in November. It is crispy now, but such a lovely shade of green. What a great investment to make in the fall to add greenery to the home for the entire winter season.
I didn’t make many changes from my Christmas bedroom. I took out the red stockings and bells, but left the DIY wreath and candles. Two layered throw blankets on the bed add a little extra cozy.
I’m a minimalist when it comes to decor. Just a lot of neutrals, linen, jute and wicker and whatever is in season outside. Flowers in the spring and summer, pumpkins in the fall and greenery in the winter. I like to keep it simple.

I made a couple of tan grain sack and ticking stripe pillows in my sewing room. I have a tutorial for them here.

Thank you so much for stopping by the farmhouse!
Hi Lisa, I love your tutorials on everything from décor to homemade body butter!! Thank you for the videos. I do have one question on the lip balm. I bought all the ingredients for the whipped body lotion and lip balms etc. I’ve enjoyed making them and giving them as gifts. But here’s my problem. The cocoa butter is so strong in the products. How can I fix this without wasting the products I’ve already made? Can I reheat the lotion and just add the same proportion of ingredients but substitute the cocoa with the shea? I’ve been experimenting and just wondering if you came across the same problem? The peppermint lip balm recipe you featured is the one I used, but I added tangerine essential oil. Thank you for any suggestions you might have. Blessings!!!
My husband and I were stationed in Germany around 2000, and after the Christmas season was over, flower markets would pop up offering a never ending supply of tulips. With the long winters over there, I quickly adopted the habit of keeping fresh flowers in our home during the “after holiday” cold snowy months. Even though the winters in middle Tennessee are not as harsh, or as long, I still like to bring home either, fresh cut flowers, or bulbs about to bloom, from the market, at least until my own flowers and bushes start to bloom. I love how you keep your house neutral so the natural touches really shine.
Hello, can you do a tutorial for the shirt that you are wearing?
I used the exact same method that I showed in this post: https://www.farmhouseonboone.com/farmhouse-on-boone/how-to-make-a-dress/ Just by copying my clothes! Hope that helps! 🙂

I love your style. I have 5 cats in my house and become a more forced minimalist. Everything has to be a little heavy, more sparse, and something that doesn’t warrant a cat to play with it like a toy. I love painted furniture mixed with wood and metals. Little industrial looks so cool with the farmhouse look too. Love natural things to decorate with. Thanks for your blog and video. One thing I did want to mention for the cat lovers on your blog that eucalyptus can make a cat very ill possibly poisoning them.
Oh I didn’t know that about eucalyptus. Thanks so much for the tip! 🙂
I love your neutral style Lisa-you are such a favorite blogger. I’m neutral too, but I love greens and yellows with my browns, tans, creams and whites. You are an inspiration to me. 🙂
