{christmas} Gift Ideas Under $20

Christmas is just 13 days away!  Are you done your shopping yet?  Need a few ideas?  All this week on the Big White Farmhouse, I’ll be showcasing great last minute gifts for everyone left on your list!  Today is all about affordable options, $20 or less.
Maze Towel by PataPri – $7
This towel is made in Japan, but there are many different options for kitchen towels out there.  Perfect for the baker or cook, I would add a wooden spoon and my favorite Christmas recipe.

This is a really good idea for gifts you’d like to do in multiples (girlfriends, teachers, etc).  Take one of the soaps and wrap together with a dish daisy…so cute.  And you’ll be able to keep one of the soaps for yourself 🙂
A cute little gift for coworkers or teachers.  Also makes a nice stocking stuffer!

{home} Master Bedroom Revealed!

If you’ve been reading this blog from the beginning, you know that I have had a master bedroom makeover in the works for a while now.  I’ve made inspiration boards, worked on two different projects for the gallery wall…I even made it an official “to do” on my 27th Year List.
So when my cousin decided to fly down to celebrate baby J’s birthday this past weekend, I knew the timing was right.  We had amazing luck at Homegoods and Lowes, finding great pieces at really great prices!  And in 48 hours, we were able to transform my room from blah to a cozy retreat with no toys allowed!  
The before (taken last spring I think?  Pardon the general clutter and baby stuff…it makes the after shot look that much better):
And the afters:     

I love this little corner of the room because it holds items that are dear to us.  The rocking chair came from my husband’s childhood home and the quilt is one that was made for us by my grandmother.  So much family history in that little spot.
The only project left to do is to install the gallery wall on the left wall (you can see the frames on the floor in the picture above), which I hope to accomplish this weekend, so check back to see the results.  🙂

{deals} Christmas Ideas with One Kings Lane

I was just browsing over at One Kings Lane and thought I would share a few great items I found.  These are all great ideas for Christmas gifts too!
Having overnight guests this Christmas?  This little carafe would look so nice on the nightstand in the guestroom.
Great gift for a girlfriend, teacher or a coffee lover!  Add a Starbucks gift card inside, tie ribbon around the mug, and you are ready to give!
This is a really nice gift for the girl who loves the gym or yoga!  Stylish and functional.
Fleur de Lys Swaddling Blanket in Pink – $15
Alphabet Baby Blanket in Blue – $25
Have any new babies on your list?  Both of these options are so unique and beautiful. 
These are just a few of the things I found.  You must take a peek!  So many interesting finds!  Shop here.
