Creating a beautiful cozy home doesn't have to cost a fortune. In fact farmhouse style lends itself perfectly to handmade projects, rustic thrift shop and vintage finds, and simple, natural furnishings.
A handmade home is so much more than a budget fix. It's also about curating a collection of meaningful pieces that come together to give a bespoke style all of your own.
It's the opposite of fast fashion. Creating a handmade home is about taking your time, honouring your culture and traditions, and treasuring sentimental family heirlooms passed down through generations. Being slow is the goal.
Creating a handmade home is realistic and attainable, rooted in enjoying and making the most of what you have. It's about finding beauty in flaws, like the rustic patina of chipped painted wood, and in nature, embracing natural fibres like linen and cotton, timber, flowers, ceramics and metals.
Most importantly it's a no-waste, no-debt approach to home making and one that's sure to bring joy and fulfilment.
