Saturday Spotlight: Jen from City Farmhouse

Hi, everyone!   Kris from Junk Chic Cottage and I wanted to do a regular feature on our blogs, something unique that hasn't been done before.   So we came up with an idea to 'spotlight the real life behind the blogger' in a more personal way.

There is so much talent and inspiration in blogland, and we thought it would be fun to bring you a closer look at the person behind the blog.

Every week on Saturday we will spotlight a blogger and have them tell us a little bit about themselves and their blogs.  You will be able to see and read about each of the bloggers on both Kris's and my blog. 

      

Today I am truly honored to have Jen from City Farmhouse as my guest!  Jen featured my home and promoted my blog when I was just starting out-she's supported and encouraged me from the beginning, and I'm eternally grateful to her for that!  She is a 'rock star' blogger, amazingly successful, and I admire her fabulous style and creativity!

Please sit back, relax, and enjoy getting to know Jen better!

Hi friends of the sweet & talented Susan!

I am so thrilled to be here!

My name is Jen

&

I write a DIY & decorating blog called,

City Farmhouse.

My blog is about the journey to decorate my home with meaning & love,

on a VERY small budget.

I make, I sew, I paint & find bargains,

you name it, I do it, or at least I try:).

When we found our DREAM home 3 years ago,

my husband & I were in awe.

We had been looking for 4 + years and it was so worth the wait!

It was nestled down a long tree lined street, just steps from the bay.

We had saved for years for this home & knew it was right from the moment we stepped in.

I have taken my time decorating this home

& I am still working on projects, but that is half the fun, isn't it?

I am amazed & inspired everyday by the friends I have met through this blogging journey

{Susan being one of them!} & what I have learned.

Welcome to our Family Room...

This console was $10 at a local thrift store,

what a steal, right?!

This coffee table was an IKEA hack & so much fun to make,

you can find it HERE.

This is my nook, dining room & kitchen

Here are a few pictures from my Holiday Tour....

I finished this project recently & love how the cream and beige stripes turned out.

It amazing how a little paint can transform a space!

We have this little nook under our stairs & while I would love a built in,

this work well for now.

I love being able to change it easily with the seasons.

And this is where we spend a lot of time as a family, our playroom.

The color palate is cheerful & you can see lots handmade touches around the room.

I love this space!

I fell head over heals for this front porch & we have enjoyed lots of time out here as a family.

Speaking of still having many projects, this is one of them,

my master bathroom.

And my master bedroom, which is underway, yay!

This is our view.

I feel so blessed to wake up to this every day.

I also share recipes, you can find them HERE....

and lots of DIY projects & tutorials HERE.

Thank you for letting me share my story & home:).

Have a beautiful day,

Thanks so much, Jen, for joining us today and sharing your breathtaking home (and views!)
