Victorian on Van Buren – Master Bathroom Reveal

June 16, 2021 by thevettelfarm

When I first walked through the Victorian on Van Buren the upstairs kitchen truly captured my heart. It dated back to 1895 and had all bead board cabinets and the original vintage sink. Unfortunately we had no need for a second kitchen and it worked out seamlessly that this would transform into the new master bathroom. Don't worry the bead board and vintage sink all went into the remodel of the main kitchen. This large kitchen space provided ample room for a new master bath and master closet space. I have never had a master bathroom, so this was my chance to go all out and do it right! Let me tell you, this space does not disappoint! This claw foot tub is massive and it came from the ...

Victorian on Van Buren Main Bathroom – Claw Foot Tub Reveal!

March 31, 2021 by thevettelfarm

I am so ecstatic to be sharing the first bathroom of the Victorian on Van Buren renovations. Bathrooms were the one area in our farmhouse that we have not yet tackled, so to renovate these historic spaces in the Victorian on Van Buren was such an exhilarating project. The main bathroom was original to the home in 1895 (when the second story was added). It had marvelous bead board surrounding the entire space and an epic claw foot tub. The footprint of this bathroom stayed very close to what it originally was in 1895. Here are a few elements that were changed: 1) The original claw foot tub was moved out and a smaller, more appropriate size, historic claw foot tub was put in it's place. ...

There’s just something about an all-American state There’s just something about an all-American state fair… 🇺🇸🎡 The glow of carnival lights, striped awnings fluttering in the summer breeze, pie tins cooling beside blue ribbon quilts, and vintage treasures that feel stitched into the story of summer itself.

Don’t miss the @weatheredwhitebarn Summer sign sale this Friday, May 15th at 9am MST on her website! A portion of the profits will go to the Wounded Warrior Project! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

This little collection feels like a walk through the fairgrounds at golden hour, where every corner smells like lemonade and kettle corn, every song sounds a little nostalgic, and every piece carries that timeless red, white, and blue magic.✨✨

Vintage Americana will always feel like home to me. ❤️🤍💙

Maybe it’s the years of thrifting and collecting, Maybe it’s the years of thrifting and collecting, but I can’t look at the simplest objects without imagining what they could become. This little terracotta saucer started as an ordinary garden piece and ended as a cloche that feels like it belongs in an old weathered greenhouse. ✨

I love projects like this because they remind me that beauty doesn’t always have to be expensive or complicated. Sometimes it’s just seeing ordinary things in a different lens. ✨

Motherhood has been one of the most rewarding acco Motherhood has been one of the most rewarding accomplishments of my life… sticky hands wrapped around mine, the car rides, muddy boots by the door, and laughter echoing through our home long after the day is done.

My children are the reason ordinary days became the sweetest memories. They’ve filled my life with purpose and a kind of love that changes you forever.

Someday, I hope they remember the way home felt, warm cookies cooling on the counter, holiday magic, vintage treasures scattered about, and a Mom who loved them with her whole heart.

Being your mom is my favorite story I’ll ever tell. 🤍

Happy Mother’s Day to the women preserving memories, creating magic from ordinary moments, and loving deeply through every season. ❤️🍀🐣🇺🇸🎃🦃🎄

Soft whites, gathered lavender, weathered details, Soft whites, gathered lavender, weathered details, and vintage pieces that feel like they’ve lived a hundred beautiful summers before finding their way here. This collection was inspired by slow garden mornings (which start very soon here for us in North Dakota). 🪻

This morning’s Etsy restock is filled with handpicked treasures ready for a new home and a new story. McCoy pottery, ironstone, garden decor, it’s all here! 

The garden gates are open… and every piece is waiting for someone who loves a little vintage romance as much as I do.

Unfortunate UPDATE - it did in fact work for ten m Unfortunate UPDATE - it did in fact work for ten minutes but then proceeded to play static over the movie 🫩 BUT per my research, the tape heads inside are dirty and I need to run a VHS cleaning tape through the TV. So two different cleaning VHS tapes will be arriving on Thursday and I will have an update for you, hopefully a good one so we can watch more Fried Green Tomatoes! 🍅

And before you ask, I did in fact use the tracking buttons to try and fix it, I surprisingly remembered how to do that, but it didn’t work. 🫠
