Friday Favorites: Wood Cutouts & Vintage Gardens

Ok, first off I have to thank you for all the amazing response to my reader survey I posted about yesterday. Holy smokes, I got way more feedback than I ever imagined. I can’t wait to sit down this weekend and go through each and every one. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You guys are seriously the BEST. I wish I could give each of you a big ol’ squeeze. Or high five if hugs are too much for you. Either way, I sure do appreciate it. All righty, let’s move on to today’s Friday Favorites because I have a really fun one in store. Have you guys seen those amazing wood cutouts floating around in the farmhouse decor world lately? I’ve been drooling over them for months now and I finally got a few from Feather and Birch. I’m so excited to show you those, as well as some amazing vintage inspired garden ideas I know you will love!

OMG, right? Seriously, I am absolutely obsessed with this gather cutout. I wanted it to be big, so I got the 44″ size and I’m so happy I did. It’s the first thing you notice when you walk in our front room and I looooooove it.

I just think this is the coolest thing ever. Even my husband was commenting on how much he loves this. And look at this adorable dream big cutout hanging in our newly remodeled playroom:

I don’t know if it’s the pregnancy hormones or just the fact that I’ve been wanting some of these cutouts for months now, but I’ve been insanely excited about these ever since I got them. They seriously makes me so happy. I was able to work with Heidi at Feather and Birch to design this dream big cutout and I think it’s perfect in the playroom. She has lots of great options in her shop, including really cool arches and vintage inspired window frames. Here are a few others I love:

Aside from these new wooden cutouts, I’ve been drooling over lots of outdoor/garden inspiration over on Pinterest. We actually have a pretty big garden area and 5 different outdoor spaces I can decorate, so I definitely have my work cutout for me this summer. I’ve been gathering all the inspiration I can find. Here are three of my favorites from this past week:

Vintage greenhouse made from old windows

Now tell me, how insanely cute is this DIY window greenhouse from Liz Marie Blog? Seriously, she made this using old windows! Coolest. Project. EVER.

And look how beautiful it is inside. I could spend all day piddling in there.

I LOVE this idea of planting herbs in old drawers. So darn creative! I’m definitely trying this one.

Vintage Farmhouse Potting Bench

And last but not least, check out this gorgeous vintage potting bench from Faded Charm. Not only do I love the old hutch, the white stool, and chippy table, but look at those old pots stacked up and all the other vintage goodies on the shelves. I need to recreate this on my back porch immediately. I could seriously go on and on with the garden inspiration today, but I will stop here. Head over to my GARDEN board on Pinterest if you want to see more of my finds. I’ve been pinning like crazy lately!

Well that does it for my Friday Favorites guys. It was a little random today, combining my love of wooden cutouts with vintage garden inspiration, but that’s just how it shakes out this week. I hope you enjoyed it! I’ll see you back here on Monday. I have a really fun and easy DIY project planned for next week, along with a few other posts I know you’re going to love.

Have a super weekend!

    All are great, but I’m in luv with that settee in the top pic. Is that made from an old crib? My “baby” is 32 yr old, and still have the bed (although not an iron bed). Have always wanted to make one like that.

    Those cutouts look amazing! I was wondering where you got the industrial bookshelf?

      Hi Cami! Do you mean the one in the playroom? It’s from Birch Lane, but the best price is on Wayfair. Unfortunately it sells out super fast and it’s currently not in stock. You can look at it here though: https://rstyle.me/n/ck27kub6hgf
