MOTHERS DAY INSPO
Inspo comes in many different ways…This farmhouse kitchen caught my eye as I was searching for mothers day inspo, my imagination lit up as I thought “I bet these flowers came out of an amazing garden!” Then I seriously fell in love with every bit of this kitchen!! (Source: pic from The whole 9 yards design.)
Design tip: Adding a few features like a farmhouse sink and open shelving can instantly transform the look of your kitchen
The farmhouse sink, the open shelves…this is one of those spaces that you walk into and immediately feel happy! Your kitchen is the heart of the home so if your kitchen doesn’t make you feel that way then we need to fix that! Lets connect, lets chat and throw ideas around… its time to change up a few things!
Contact me anytime for inspo and ideas and happy mothers day to all the moms out there!

Hi Striped Barn Friends!
With everything going on, Easter kind of snuck up on me which is funny because its actually later this year!
I wanted to make sure I send y’all some Easter cheer so here is a repost of my fav pic from @Thermaland Oaks…you just can’t find a cuter Easter pic because it makes you smile every time!

HI STRIPED BARN FRIENDS!
Hi Striped Barn friends its Carrie…welcome!!
If you’re reading my blog you prob love unique finds with a rustic vibe, a southern twist or vintage character. If you’re like me you always look “Behind the Barn” because many times that’s where you find the best treasures!
Y’all know I love sharing with my Striped Barn friends so I created “BEHIND THE BARN”, a Striped Barn exclusive showcasing unique products and places and a fun place to shop. Mostly one of a kind but sometimes just great finds. So lets get decorating and have some fun!
Remember, the best things are always found “Behind the barn”!

WARM, FARM TO TABLE STYLE
When you add the right touches to your design you define your style! This kitchen has all the elements of a luxury kitchen, but the barn doors, barstools and pendant lighting give it its warm, farm to table style!
Anything is possible when you mix and match your favorite things, the matchy design rules went out the window a long time ago, so pick pieces you love and add your own twist. If you stick to a color scheme and scale and you can mix and match anything!
We’ve been mixing luxury, vintage and rustic pieces for centuries its nothing new…we’ve just acquired different names for this style over the years. Refined + rustic style has always gone hand in hand!
Keep it simple and let your style shine through!
Happy Decorating!

Christmas At The Farm
There’s only one thing cuter than holiday farmhouse decor…and that’s holiday farmhouse animals! So I have decided to share some of my fav’s!
No amount of lights, garland or the perfect Christmas tree could warm my heart like these little cuties! Thermaland Oaks always brings the curtness factor!
I love a good barn…but nothing gets me more than a barn with all the trimmings!
Nothing says Christmas spirit like a decorated chicken coop and this one is the cutest ever! We decorate our homes, patios, yards, and sheds so why not the coop!
Every stylish chicken coop needs a “fluffy butt” sign!
Get your favorite sign here!
I can’t end the year without one of my all time favorite’s…Christmas or not…it doesn’t get any cuter than this!
Happy Holidays!

THE LITTLE WHITE LIGHT!
I love Thanksgiving weekend! It’s like holiday magic appears overnight!…lights and decor pop up everywhere and lift your spirit like no other holiday can! But lights aren’t just for holidays…
THE LITTLE WHITE LIGHT IS LIKE THE LITTLE BLACK DRESS…
ALWAYS CLASSY, ALWAYS IN STYLE, YOU CAN DRESS IT UP OR DRESS IT DOWN!
White lights, wood and nature…my 3 fav things for holiday decorating!
I love festive entertaining year round… even better if you add another layer with lanterns or candles!
White lights accent their surroundings instead of overpowering them…they let the real beauty shine through!
That feeling when your surrounded by white lights…its magical!
And of course what’s a wedding without little white lights…
When you hang those holiday lights this year, you may want to just leave them up and create some holiday magic year round! I promise you, you will feel more festive, entertain more, and feel that holiday spirit year round!
Happy Decorating!

WARM UP FOR THE HOLIDAYS
Hi Striped Barn friends!! Its getting colder outside so its time to warm up inside! With the holidays here why not warm up and cheer up at the same time…by adding just a few things you can get the coziness factor and holiday cheer at the same time!
I love everything about this kitchen and its the perfect transition into the holidays! Just add greenery, a tablescape, faux fur throws or festive blankets, a pop of greenery and a few fairy lights….
You can even transition from Christmas to New Years by adding fun decor like these stars!
Here’s a close up of the fairy lights wrapped around the wood beam for that touch of holiday magic!
A few simple touches can bring the perfect warmth and holiday cheer!
Happy Decorating!
