The Vettel Farm

DIY, Home Decor, & Lifestyle blog

About

Hello, I am so happy you are here. My name is Courtney and I am the creator of The Vettel Farm. I am a wife, mom, retired school counselor, cook, photographer, writer, and former rodeo queen.

A few fun facts about me:

  • I was born in New York and lived there until I was 9. I then moved to South Dakota (culture shock) and now live in North Dakota (my forever home).
  • I have watched Martha Stewart and read the Martha Stewart Living Magazine since I was 7. I have a collection of every single magazine.
  • I collect cookbooks. I have way too many and I have moved them way too many times.
  • I studied French in high school, with hopes of traveling to France to learn how to cook French cuisine, but I can really only tell you my name and that I like butter in french now.
  • I studied photography and journalism in college.
  • I was Miss Rodeo South Dakota in 2009 and was 2nd runner up to Miss Rodeo America in 2010.
  • I have a masters in Counseling and worked as a school counselor for 10 years. I retired two years ago to stay home with my littles and run The Vettel Farm full-time.
  • I hope to write a cookbook or vintage home decor book someday.

~Courtney

It started with a mushroom set and somehow an enti It started with a mushroom set and somehow an entire spooky woodland Halloween mantel followed. 🍄 #ad There’s something about the @balsamhill Mossy Woodland Mushroom Set that feels like it belongs in a forgotten little spooky forest. They are so realistic and the perfect set to spark your Fall decorating! 

I wanted this mantel to feel earthly, collected, a little mysterious, and just spooky enough. Think vintage storybook meets enchanted forest after dark. And these mushrooms became the piece that inspired all of it. 🍄

The Mossy Woodland Mushroom Set is such an easy piece to carry from early fall straight through Halloween and honestly, I think I’ll be finding excuses to style these long after autumn. Use code COURTNEYV50FALL to get $50 off orders $250 or more! Check out the link in my bio to shop! 

Would you go spooky woodland for Halloween?

The first day of school is always so special, so w The first day of school is always so special, so why not celebrate it BIG! 📚✂️✏️ We had our meet the teacher night last night and the kiddos are so excited to head back to school next week! 

So we’re bringing back the kind of first day of school worth remembering with @mymindseyeinc 🍎 One that feels a little slower, a little sweeter, and maybe even a little like stepping into an old schoolhouse photograph.

Because someday, these will be the “good old days” they look back on. Here’s to new teachers, new friends, new adventures…and making the first day feel just as special as it deserves to be. 🍎
