It was a challenge to try to blend the contradiction of farmhouse and Halloween. The two descriptors are practically opposites, but we did it. We found Inspiring Fall-o-Ween Farmhouse Halloween Decor that will look good in any fall farmhouse vignette.

Fall-o-Ween Farmhouse Halloween Decor

Let me tell you a phrase that is not trending… Farmhouse Halloween Decor. You can find fall decor, you can find farmhouse decor, you can find Halloween decor, but trying to blend Halloween and Farmhouse just isn’t a thing… or is it? We searched high and low to try to find you some of the most creative, spooky, and and even warming Farmhouse Halloween Decor that will look good in any fall farmhouse vignette.

So much of establishing a farmhouse, begins at a front door. Be sure to take a look at our Porch Halloween Ideas and Patio Decor. We also find the mantle and table to be very important. You will want to save these Halloween Mantles and Tablescapes. Both posts include so many more Farmhouse Halloween Decoration Ideas.

Need something simplistic, guess what!?! Martha Stewart has the best Halloween Accessory for you – Black Lace Pumpkin Sleeves (you’re welcome!) Tired of pumpkins?… wrap gourds instead.  (Don’t forget our other Creative Pumpkin Decorations That Go Beyond Carving.)  We love the brand Mod Podge. | Get Black Lace Pumpkin Sleeves Here (You can Also Get White Pumpkin Sleeves Here)

Weekend DIY Farmhouse Projects

Weekend DIY Farmhouse Projects you can complete in a few hours. Creative Joanna Gaines inspired easy farmhouse decor that looks like it’s straight from episodes of Fixer Upper.

Weekend DIY Farmhouse Projects

Weekend DIY Farmhouse Projects

Does anyone else have the problem of home procrastination? I love watching Fixer Upper shows, learning about different projects and crafts I can do from Pinterest, but when it comes to execution, I am the biggest procrastinator. It’s odd to me, because in life and in work, I am not a huge procrastinator… but for home decor projects – I am!  A year ago, I spent quite a bit on Chalk Paint to Paint a table and chairs. Mind you, since the purchase I had bed rest and twin babies, but I still have yet to paint my table and chairs. Now that the twins are 6 months and starting solid using those chairs (with a booster high chair), I figure what’s the point of getting started now?

So this post had me in mind. The weekend warrior but the home project procrastinator. These DIY Farmhouse Projects are projects you can finish in a few hours or at most in a weekend’s time.

Happy Decorating!

Homemade Soap Scum Remover

This post may contain affiliate links or ads. Read my privacy policy and disclosure policy here.

July 7, 2018 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: DIY, Facebook, Home Improvement, Instagram, Pinterest, Social Media 1 Comment

Do you love making your own cleaning supplies? This Homemade Soap Scum Remover requires only two ingredients! Details on Frugal Coupon Living.

Homemade Soap Scum Remover

Homemade Soap Scum Remover

Hey (waves), “it’s me Ashley with I hate to clean the house Anonymous. ” I wanted to share with you a pretty easy cleaning tip!

What is the one task you will always put off? For me, it is cleaning. I don’t mind the weekly grind of laundry or even the daily task of the dishes and loading/unloading the dishwasher, but when it comes to deep cleaning in the bathrooms, I really hate it! Because of this, I wanted to find a cleaner that was easy to prepare but did the job! I mean, really did the job!

This soap scum remover is pretty incredible. It uses white vinegar and Dawn (have I mentioned, these are two of my staple cleaning supplies!) I absolutely love Dawn Dish Soap. It is such a great de-greaser.  I also love vinegar (it is one of my secret ingredients in laundry – see our Laundry Room Hacks and Tips!) With equal parts of both, you get a pretty incredible shower cleaner. You can see our pretty incredible before and after photos of a shower filled with soap scum and the results of our labor.

And if you want to make this task even easier, might I suggest some good music or a good podcast while you are scrubbing (or doing any household work)? If you need some suggestion on Podcasts, I love Focus on the Family Marriage Podcast and Jen Hatmaker Podcast. The marriage podcast as been great (and clearly affordable – it’s free) for my husband and I! Cheaper than counseling – haha! I also appreciate some good music. It really works to lighten my mood. I am most grateful for my Amazon Prime Membership, did you know it comes with music?

Enjoy (and happy listening!)

Supplies:

  • Blue Dawn Dish Soap
  • White Vinegar
  • Spatula
  • Scrub brush/sponge


How to clean soap scum

Directions:

  1. Add 1/4 cup White Vinegar to a glass measuring cup and heat for 60 seconds in the microwave.
  2. Mix in 1/4 cup of Blue Dawn Dish Soap and mix.
  3. Starting at the top of your shower, pour your mixture down your shower.
  4. Lightly scrub with a scrub brush or sponge and let set for at least 1 hour.
  5. Scrub your shower vigorously.
  6. Any remaining scum, the stuff that’s been there for years and you haven’t been able to get rid of, use the end of a spatula to scrap upwards and the remaining scum will easily scrap off.
  7. Rinse well and see your shower sparkle.

Gardening Hacks and Tips for the Wannabe Gardener


You guys I have a black thumb with the desires of a green thumb. No matter how much I want my yard to look beautiful, I am either not motivated or I am not “talented” when it comes to the yard and garden.  We recently were lucky to move into a new home with a beautiful yard. The owners before us were gardeners and when we purchased the home, I loved every detail on the outside. However, as they left and months grew into more months, I missed the yard that I purchased. It has changed and become overgrown with weeds. Once the weeds came, I had a hard time distinguishing the difference between what was supposed to stay and what was supposed to head straight to the trash. This Gardening Hacks post was not only for you, but more so for me! Enjoy these tips and let’s try to accomplish this green thumb thing together!
