As you know, our farmhouse is lacking in the landscape department with only a small strip of flower bed across the grande front porch. And since creating a small berm in between the piers of the entire home in hopes of preventing water draining underneath, it is apparent more than ever that we need some plant friends.
In my mind, I’m envisioning beds similar to this spectacular spread from farmhouseforfour on Instagram.
I love how their flower beds are created around a simple, winding flagstone path. Our front porch demands something with this sort of “wow” factor. Don’t you think?
We have picked out stone from Jim Stone in Baton Rouge and hope to create something similar for our front and side porch area leading to the driveway. I have such an affinity for stone and am really looking forward to adding touches here and there in the next year. A more whimsical landscape is really what speaks to my soul, flowers similar to sweet, blissful, country gardens like these from Better Homes and Gardens:
The bell in the picture made the move with us to Zachary and is getting a mini-makeover this week. I can’t wait to reveal the final product with you soon.

My patience is being tested once again as we tackle current projects, proceeding to the next priority, leaving little time for my creative endeavors. But I know we will enjoy lush gardens and my artistic desires around the farm soon enough. Patience, grasshopper.
In the meantime, I’ll be dreaming of daffodils and daisies…
