The Big White Farmhouse

intentional living, little by little

{dreams} Following a Dream: Big White Farmhouse, the Boutique!

It all started in December: a crazy idea that just wouldn’t let go.  It came almost like a whisper or a quiet prompting, and I just couldn’t shake it!  I toyed with the idea and prayed, prayed and prayed some more.  And despite the risks and a lot of self-doubt, I felt God’s hand pushing me ahead.  Fast forward to a very honest conversation with my cousin and the dream started taking a real tangible shape.  Before we knew it, two cousins became business partners and the dream became real for the both of us.  


To be honest, I’ve been sitting here at the computer, unsure of just where to begin.  I desperately want to share with you everything!  So I guess I’ll just jump in…without further ado, I want to introduce you to the beginnings of our dream: Big White Farmhouse, the online boutique!

Big White Farmhouse stems from the same roots as this blog: a way to honor our great-grandmother and to share the splendor of our family memories at her farm.  Our store will carry home decor items, as well as accessories and gifts.  We are really passionate about supporting the small American artisan, so all of our items will be proudly made in the USA!  We also love decorating with both new items and antiques, so there will also be some one-of-a-kind vintage finds available as well.    

We are hoping to officially open the store in September, so I look forward to sharing with you our journey as we venture into the world of small business ownership!
