Inspire Your Joanna Gaines – DIY Fixer Upper Ideas
Who else can’t get enough of HGTV? I get sucked in every time I turn to the channel, ESPECIALLY if it’s my favorite show, Fixer Upper! Chip and Joanna Gaines are adorable, fun to watch, and I’m admittedly head over heels for Joanna’s farmhouse-chic decor style. I sometimes catch myself fangirling over the hosts, but Joanna’s decorating skills are my favorite part of the show by far. If you love Fixer Upper as much as me, you’ve got to take a look at these DIY farmhouse decor ideas for your home.

Floating Shelves
To start the party, I have to say this — you’re not Joanna Gaines yet if you don’t have Floating Shelves in your home.

We love this tutorial from Shanty 2 Chic. They have some other amazing farmhouse tutorials – take some time to browse their site for even more cheap farmhouse decor inspiration!
DIY Farmhouse Decor Thrift Store Finds
Farmhouse aesthetic pottery doesn’t have to break the bank. Head to your local thrift store ASAP and grab older pottery, dishes, etc and spray paint to get your desired look for the low just like Sincerely Sara D. This is so smart, and I love an easy painting project especially when it comes to cheap farmhouse decor. Just look for fun and creative shapes when you’re hunting for your pieces!
Green Wreath Distressed Window Frame
This one’s a must, and a showstopper on your mantle. Simply lay a Green Wreath over a Distressed Window Frame like The Sweet Survival did. Once I saw this, I had to make one for my home! It has that perfect shabby-chic look.

Ashley L. says
After spray painting old bowls, will they be safe to use and eat off of?!? Or is there a glaze or finish you need to use?
Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living says
It depends on the spray you get. I think most are used for aesthetic purposes (for show) but look for paint that is “lead-free” and “food safe”

Congratulations: You have a beautiful place to live and enjoy your life ! As we age.we’re blessed to be able to recall victories over so many issues. Many of us have battled health issues and other forces and negative times. But with victory comes strength and optimism. I believe God blesses us daily and it’s up to us to find some and just recognize so many others. Recognizing your talents and being willing to learn and apply others will benefit you and others. Focusing on how to help others can make life more interesting and satisfying. Good Luck in your retirement. !!!
