Vintage Southwest Wedding Shower Decor
My sister-inlaw has a wedding planned for September in Mexico. The shower was supposed to be here in Texas so everyone from home could celebrate. Unfortunately Covid-19 hindered any success on finding a local venue. BOOOO! Don’t worry, The Yellow Rose Farmhouse is here for it! I was so excited when I was asked to host the shower for one of my favorite couples!
I love home decor but when it comes to decorating for a party or shower, I’m so clueless! It can be hard to think outside of MY box and create something that doesn’t necessarily match up with my personal style. The pressure was on since the wedding itself is still in question because of the stinking virus.
I racked my brain and searched Pinterest for days trying to decide how I could turn my home into the wedding shower of their dreams (I honestly doubt people are dreaming of wedding showers but….I just made it a thing). Finally, I found some inspiration and I was off.
Bits of Blue & Rose Gold
One of the bridesmaids created the cutest succulent shower invitations to go along with their Mexico wedding. I loved all the bright colors and I’m already a huge fan of succulents. The bride’s favorite color is blue. So I combined all those ideas and just went for it.
I was ready to get started decorating but I ran into a small problem. I don’t really have anything blue in my house. My first stop was Goodwill. I wanted to see if I could find any blue treasures that would bring my vision to life without breaking the bank. And what do you know?! I found some of the prettiest blue bottles and vases that fit perfectly with my theme.
My next stops included Hobby Lobby and Lowes for some more terracotta pots and succulents. You can never have too many of either of those. I really lucked out because all of their pots at Hobby Lobby were 50% when I was there. SCORE!
Lastly, I bought a few finishing pieces from Amazon. Things like table runners, a Macrame wall hanging for the mantle and some rose gold candle holders. I was so happy with how everything turned out. It was such a great day with family and friends. I hope the sweet couple was blessed by it 🙂

I’m calling this our Master Bedroom Refresh rather than a renovation. To be clear, we did make adjustments and renovate our bedroom. However, it’s amazing how some thoughtful decor and paint can totally transform a room. Those changes are what I want to highlight in our Farmhouse Master Bedroom Refresh.

But First, The Renovations
If you read about our Master Bathroom Renovation, then you know that we took out the closet in there to make more room. So one of the adjustments we made to our bedroom was adding another closet. I can’t believe we were able to make it work and still have as much space as we do in here. There was already a closet directly on the other side of one of the walls so we just added a door to that dividing wall and reinvented the space a little.
The only other “big” change we made was the lighting. We removed the ceiling fan and added can lighting and this beautiful pendant light. I like it cold at night but we have two thermostats in the house and we can keep our room pretty cool without a fan. I’m glad we made this choice because I think the pendant light adds so much character and charm to this room.
Our Paint Choices
Onto the paint. I don’t have anything against homes that have different themes and color schemes in every room. That just isn’t for me. I guess I’m not very adventurous when it comes to my style. I want our home to feel like it all flows together. One way to keep that flow is through a color scheme and paint. We used the same paint colors all throughout the house. No matter where you are in the house, you’ll see greys, whites, blacks and greens. I’m drawn to neutral and earthy colors. So much so, that even my closet is filled with clothes that are the same neutral and earthy tones.
Our Bedroom Furniture
Our bedroom suite has the prettiest chippy white paint color ever. I was so excited when I stumbled upon these pieces. I knew I had to have this set for our room. The suite really ties everything together in this room and adds a very rustic farmhouse feel. We are lucky to have a place local that’s always stocked with the cutest and most unique furniture and relics. If you’re ever in my neck of the woods, you have to stop in Merrimac & North. Did I mention there’s also a bakery inside with yummy, homemade treats? What more does a girl need?!
Meaningful Decor
Last but not least, the decor! I’m sure you’ve noticed by now that this is my favorite part. Always! I’m constantly switching things out and rearranging. I’m convinced that just a few tweaks can totally change a space. Some of the decor in here came from antique shows, some came from websites and some came from so long ago that I can’t even remember where I got it. But the pieces that are my favorite are the ones that hold special meaning to me.
When Chad proposed he laid out a path of yellow roses (My favorite! Obvs! 😉) and he read 1 Corinthians 13:4-7. AWWWW! I love those two signs with those verses because I’m reminded daily of what our love should look like and how much our love has grown since that moment. Ok, I’m done with the sappy, mushy stuff. My point is, I could’ve easily replaced those signs with something cuter, more unique or trendy (like those basket walls that I’m obsessed with right now). Instead, I think you should choose pieces that mean something to you. Fill your home with pieces that tell YOUR story.

Welcome to The Yellow Rose Farmhouse Laundry Room Reveal!

Our laundry room was one of the first rooms to be renovated. I really wanted a bold transformation that included all my favorite farmhouse inspiration. I also need it to be functional since I spend most of my life in this room. Laundry really is a never ending cycle in our house!
This is the only “Before” shot that I have but you’ll still be able to see most of the changes.
A large folding space is a must for me to separate out everyone’s clothes as I fold. So one of the first changes we made was removing the space where the refrigerator had been.
Luckily, we were able to leave the cabinets the way they were. We extended the countertop to the wall and then added a clothes rack under the cabinets. We left the space under this section open for storage. I found this adorable rolling laundry cart and it fit perfectly. It was meant to be!
The next thing that I knew we would have to change was the washer/dryer pedestal. I don’t have front loaders and I didn’t plan on buying new ones so we had to remove the pedestal. I feel like it made the laundry room look so much bigger. That may all be in my head but I’m going with it!
The tile that we chose for our laundry room might just be my favorite tile in the whole house. I almost didn’t choose it because I thought it might look too busy. I also didn’t want it to clash with our bathroom and kitchen. I’m glad I got over that and just went for it. It really makes this room stand out. Bonus: It doesn’t show dirt! Yay!!!
Even though I wanted a bold transformation, I also really wanted all our rooms to flow well together. The shiplap and countertops do this for our home. We have the same countertops in the laundry room, the kitchen and all of our bathrooms. They’re so pretty and super durable. You can check out our Farmhouse Master Bathroom Renovation to see how everything looks together in there.
We also have shiplap in all the bathrooms and around the fireplace. So adding shiplap in here just seemed right. I love how these details and our paint colors really make our house feel like it all fits together.
Because functionality is so important, the sink was a nonnegotiable. I did look into cute farmhouse sinks like the one in our kitchen but I didn’t really think those would stand up to everything we would subject this one too. This sink is used for washing everything under the sun! You name it and it’s probably been washed in our laundry room sink. Dogs, kittens, kids, husbands, and the list goes on…. All I’m saying is, I don’t regret not getting the pretty sink.
Once all the renovations were complete and we got everything moved in, it still felt a little bare. The space above the washer and dryer in particular looked really naked. We had talked about continuing the cabinets but decided against it. Instead we decided on open shelves. Chad took on this little DIY project on his own. I’m so in love with how they turned out. They are the perfect contrast to the white shiplap and cabinets. I will probably paint the hardware black later on but Mama’s done for now. I’ve also already restyled the shelves several times and I can assure you that I probably will again. Listen, I can accept that I have a problem 😜
The open shelves are exactly what this space needed. I think I could get used to doing laundry here everyday…maybe.
