DIY Farmhouse Christmas Decor, Coming Right Up!

In my opinion, most of our non-life-threatening problems fall into one of two categories: not enough time or not enough money.

When I was still teaching and before I had kids, my problems centered around not having enough time.  I taught high school English, and the amount of time it took planning, creating and grading (oh my word, the grading!) was dizzying. 

My nights and weekends were filled up with so many school-related tasks (So. Many. Tasks.).

Now that I’m home with my boys and not working, money is more of an issue. 

I have more time (well, sort of – I’m home more, if that’s any distinction; chasing twin toddlers doesn’t always equate to having more time), but not really the luxury of being able to spend how I used to.

Enter: The Holidays.

It’s been a whole new world getting used to reinventing our existence on one budget – and that includes how we celebrate Christmas.

I never was a super-crafty, domestic, Martha-Stewart-type girl. I am definitely more the cerebral, Type A, book-smart girl.

Being a mom and being at home has really forced me to flip my brain a bit and work a little more from the intuitive, creative side.

And that’s how I’m approaching the holidays this year: lots of creative, homemade gifts, decorations, and ways to celebrate that are easy on the budget.

DIY Rustic farmhouse Christmas decor is my latest obsession, so of course, that is the rabbit hole I jumped down on Pinterest. 

Today I’m focusing on farmhouse Christmas DIY decorating projects.  If you love rustic farmhouse, these projects will be right up your alley!  They are truly beautiful.

    1. Aren’t they beautiful?!? I am seriously jealous of their creativity and talent! But I’m really glad they share it with us! 🙂 Thank you for coming by, Shelah!

    1. Don’t you love it, Melissa? It’s my favorite too. We had a soot puffback earlier this year and had to have the whole interior of our house repainted. IT really gave me time to think about styles I really loved – and I definitely landed at rustic farmhouse! Thank you for coming by 🙂

  1. Love the burlap trees. I’d love to try those. And a friend used tree rings in her wedding this year. I’m going to send this to her for her Christmas ideas!

    1. That’s fantastic! I hope she can use something! My sister is the creator of the burlap trees, lol! I’ll tell you what you said – it would make her day! Thank you for coming by, Sheri! 🙂

    1. Aren’t they amazing? I’m so jealous of their talent – but thankful! I can’t wait to get going! Thank you so much for stopping in, Abbey! 🙂

  2. I love this post. Great job on finding these projects and putting them together and thanks for also providing a link to where you could buy similiar items. As you mention, sometimes there just isn’t time…and this way you can still get it.

    We decorated our tree with rustic ornaments I made, so totally love the theme! I’d love for you to check out my ideas (www.mycraftchens.com)

    have a happy holiday time! (christmas is so close…)

    1. Thanks so much Majka! I will definitely come by and see your work! I would love to see your ornaments! 🙂 I love, love, love rustic/farmhouse 🙂 Thank you so much for coming by! 🙂

  3. Tons of talent!!! Love everything in this post!! I did notice on one of the galvanized buckets, it says “Smoky Mountain Tree Farm”…are you from East Tennessee/Western North Carolina?

    1. I agree! I love these projects! Funny – I wasn’t living in Tennessee when I first wrote this post, but now I live in East Tennessee! About an hourish from the Smoky Mtns! We LOVE it here!
