Super outstanding recreations – such a pleasure exploring excellence at its best!
Do you have any ideas for a pre- civil war bed besides a bench or swing? It’s beautiful but not a standard size since it’s so old. My daughter used it as a child but does not want it now. It is too big for 1 person but tight for 2. It’s fairly short as people have gotten taller so not very useful for guests. I’d love for it to be a day bed but can’t figure out how as the width as is would be too short. Thx!
I love your pins thank you!
What a great pin. I love the way your imagination flows ❤️ thank you for some great ideas. I would love to find a corn container
These r awesome ideas!! Thank u!!
Loved these ideas thank you .

I love this
These are all well thought out, different & fun ideas! Although I’m lucky enough to have access to several old farms with many outbuilding, shops, etc. full of great stuff, I still don’t know where to look (in my area) for an old silo. I guess it’s a good reason to stay on the hunt…
Fantastic ideas!! Love them
Hi Jill,

Wow, this is such an amazing mom blog. I’m definitely adding it to my bookmarks under Pinterest. And to think that I found it because I was looking for ways to ethically get rid of some mice. I’m going to have to refer some friends to check out this mom blog, they will especially be keen to check out the recipes section.
