I recently discovered the show Fixer Upper on HGTV. I know it’s been around for a while, but here lately it’s been unusual for me to stray away from my beloved Food Network. But y’all, I’m OBSESSED with this show! The hosts (Chip and Joanna Gaines) are entertaining, brilliantly creative, and incredibly adorable. I’ve had a running joke going on with my husband that if Miss Kay from Duck Dynasty and Joanna Gaines from Fixer Upper were blended into one woman, she would be my spirit animal. I may not be selling you on it, but really. You should watch it.
Anyway, Joanna Gaines is known for her obsession with ship-lap and all things “farmhouse” inspired. Farmhouse decor has a very charming, rustic and earthy character to it. It’s gorgeous. It’s amazing. It’s everything I want my dream home to look like. It’s all over the magazine covers at the store, and it’s flying off the shelves in stores nation wide. It’s the it-thing, and I’m jumping on the train!
I’m slowly working towards a goal of farmhousing my home. (I know that’s not a word, but it is now!) I figured I’d start small and begin with the bathroom. Since it’s not always super convenient for me to get out of the house and go to town, I decided to see what Amazon had to offer to help me complete my look. Hello, 2 day shipping! I was really pleased with what I found, so I thought I’d share it with y’all!
By the way, if you don’t have Amazon prime, I can hook you up with a free trial!

Macy S says
LOVE Chip and Jo!! Definitely one of my favorite shows. I love the ship lap look too! And though I love their decor ideas, I always want to add a little color to them! I think a pale lime green, or sky blue on the walls would pair beautifully with the muted tones of ship lap and crisp white features! Never thought to check Amazon for some cute finds!
Laura Tucker says
Aren’t Chip and Jo the greatest?! I love your idea of adding some color. I really like the sky blue color mixed in with ship lap. I’m thinking about doing my laundry room in ship lap and blue. Amazon surprisingly has some really cute stuff! I’m going to be posting farmhouse decor finds for each room of the house very soon, so stay tuned! 🙂

Hi Laura! I’m with you all about loving fixer upper Joanna and Chip Gaines. I’ve been watching every episode since it began. Love every house decorated and remodeled. Want so bad to make trip to Waco and visit everybody and every store. Tried to talk my husband to moving or making trip but says I’m crazy! Lol Maybe one day! Thank You so much for sharing your connects on farm decor. I too have the itch for farm housing transition. So far, I’ve only painted walls with one of her recommended Sherwin Williams paint wall colors. Love the color. Makes house feel more relax, comfy and peaceful. Now I need to move on to my next projects in remodeling or decorating. Rosemary ?
