Easy Modern Farmhouse Decor

February 11, 2020 /

Don’t get me wrong, I LOOOOVE our new house. But. Sometimes when everything is so new it just feels … I don’t know … blah?. I knew I wanted to try something a little different in this bathroom but still stick with that farmhouse vibe. I saw a Pinterest post on doing a DIY wood mirror frame and that was all the inspiration I needed.

Before
After

Starting with the mirror, I did that. Yep, all by myself thank you very much. Here is the pinterest link to where I got the instructions. The only tip I would give is make sure you get the flattest 1″x4″ you can find. Mine were somewhat warped so they did not lay totally flat against the mirror.

As for the decor in this pic, here are the deets:

  • Hand towel basket // amazon
  • Items in basket: Clearance frame from HomeGoods, old salad dressing bottle that I cleaned out and added some grass from Hobby Lobby.
  • Plant on counter // HomeGoods (I can’t find the exact one, so here is a similar one)
  • Wood sign // Target (I can’t find the exact one, so here is a similar one)
  • Shelves on wall // amazon
  • Trinkets in shelves are either from the Target dollar spot, Kirklands or HoeGoods.
  • Black basket on toilet // Kirklands (I just added some white washcloths and a black candle I had laying around)
Before (blah)
After (ahhh)

This is the view looking in, you can see more of the shower curtain and what the decor looks like. I am obsessed with how this all turned out! Here is more info on what I used:

  • Shower curtain // Target
  • Shower curtain hooks // amazon
  • Powder Room sign // Target
  • Towels – I just used some plain white ones from Target and then used some faux burlap ribbon to tie them up.

Last but not least, I had to do something in this corner. I walked by this basket at least 3 times before I knew what to do with it. It helped to add height ad texture and I think this is what really brought the room together!

  • Toilet paper // Costco (jk, not really going to link that)
  • Basket // Target
  • Jar // Target
  • Flowers // Target
  • Beads // The French Ruffle (a local boutique that I just adore! They are in Monument for any Colorado locals)

This transformation took me about 4 months and came in under $200 for everything. I know that decorating a home can be daunting, but no one says you have to do it all at once. I find my most rewarding projects come about over a period of time. I allow myself time to find items that make my heart sing, rather than settling for something that is just ok.

I hope this inspired you to try something new and outside of your comfort zone!
