We’re officially in month 3 of our home building project, and my mind has been flooded with different home decor designs and projects that I want to start. You recently saw me share a few of my favorite farmhouse-style finds for my office space, and I’ve even been narrowing down which light fixtures I’m hoping to hang in my house. All of that brainstorming leads me down another rabbit hole of farmhouse-y possibilities, and this time it’s ideas on where to park those heinies and rest a while!

Spring has officially sprung in my neck of the woods! The azalea bushes are blooming, the birds are chirping, and I’m on the hunt for ALL things shabby chic and Springy! Naturally, the first place I (always) hit up to find my home decor is my beloved Amazon (where all of my 2-day shipping dreams come true!) 😉

Farmhouse Light Fixtures under $200 {on Amazon!}

Just last week I posted a roundup of a few of my favorite Farmhouse-style decor pieces to spruce up an office space (Farmhouse Finds for the Office). It’s been a really big inspiration for me as I’ve been busy planning the layout and overall design theme of my office space in the home that we’re building.

Once I started picking out a few of the decor specifics, I found myself going down a rabbit hole of what seemed like millions of light-fixture options to fill my space. I decided to create my own Farmhouse Light Fixture inspirational board in the form of this post. Maybe you’re looking to spruce up your decor and are on the prowl for a new light fixture! If so, I certainly hope this post helps you out! 🙂

Family Movie Night In with Tyson and Redbox

February 10, 2017 by Laura Tucker Leave a Comment

“Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Tyson Foods, Inc. All opinions are entirely my own.”

I don’t know about you, but it doesn’t take long for me to start getting the winter blues during this time of year. In my neck of the woods, we very seldom ever get any snow, but there are some days that it’s so frigid cold that your bones feel like they’ve frozen over. It’s days like that that tend to leave me feeling just all around yucky. My toddler goes stir crazy from being in the house all day. I start to get a little lethargic and things on my to-do list just don’t get done. I develop the pre-teen “I just don’t wanna” attitude and daydream about living in my pajamas and watching movies all day. I mean, it’s cuddle season, y’all! Why on earth would I want to clean the house and slave over the stove when I could be warm, sitting on my couch and snuggling with my baby? Am I right?!

You all know I’m no stranger to sharing my favorite “farmhouse style” finds. I’ve shared quite a few round-up style posts before, and now more than ever I’m really getting the bug to start posting more! I recently shared that we’ve started our home building journey. My mind has been racing non-stop daydreaming about how I’ll decorate my home (and if I’ll even be able to afford that “fixer upper style” look that I love so much!)Farmhouse Office…

A Strong Foundation: Bible Verses for Building a Home

A Strong Foundation: Bible Verses for Building a Home

Last week I made a big announcement that we’ve started our home building project! It’s something we’ve been dreaming of since before we got married, and we feel so truly blessed to watch it all finally unfold. At just 26 and 27 years old and first time home owners (builders), we’re trying our hardest to make smart financial decisions for our family, but we also knew that building a home would be a one-time deal for us. This home is our forever home. These are our roots. When we formed our house plans from scratch, we made sure that we had the things we needed, but also things that we really wanted (within reason), too.

We’ve been praying over our home every step of the way. We pray for and seek God’s guidance as we make big decisions regarding our home every single week. Christ is the cornerstone of our faith and our family, and we knew we wanted to honor Him in all things during this build.

When building a new home, write scriptures on the studs of your home that are relevant to each room of the house

3 Reasons Why I’m Dumping My Flat Iron

January 19, 2017 by Laura Tucker Leave a Comment

I was provided product in exchange for my honest review. All opinions expressed within this post are completely my own. I only promote what I truly love!

I’ve been sort of hiding something from most of the world ever since I was 13 years old. My family and close friends know, but I’ve always tried so hard to hide a part of myself from the masses, simply because I don’t know how to handle it. I have naturally curly and very frizzy hair. It’s not ringlet curly, and it’s not that pretty “beach wave” curly either. I’ve always called it “foofy” hair (fluffy and poofy combined.)

How to Make a Latte at Home in 3 Easy Steps!

January 17, 2017 by Laura Tucker 1 Comment

 I’ve always heard people say, “your vibe attracts your tribe.” If you want to surround yourself with people like you, you simply have to be yourself! That’s all well and good. I can totally get down with that kind of motto. I think it’s so important to be yourself and to keep a positive vibe so that others around you will feed off of it. However, there’s that one part of myself that doesn’t need anyone in it’s tribe. It really doesn’t need to show it’s face at all. In fact, it needs to be contained in a cage somewhere until a little bit of java runs through it’s system. After that, it can totally vibe with the rest of the tribe! 😉

Farmhouse Style Valentine’s Day Decor

December 16, 2016 by Laura Tucker Leave a Comment

Southern Made Simple is part of several affiliate marketing programs, and thus affiliate links may be included throughout this post at absolutely no cost to you. As always, I love sharing my favorite Farmhouse Finds with you!

Once the Christmas decor is taken down from the shelves in stores, heart shaped boxes of chocolate, stuffed animals and candy hearts immediately start taking their place in preparation for Valentine’s Day! I’ve never been one to decorate much for Valentine’s Day, but it’s mostly because I’ve never found much Valentine-y decor that I actually liked.

I started to searching high and low at my favorite retailer (hello, Amazon!) to see if I could find a few pieces of home decor that fit my aesthetic a little better. Y’all know I’m crazy about the modern “farmhouse” look, so I was downright giddy when I found a few things that fit the part!Farmhouse Style Valentine's Day Decor…
