Happy Friday friends! Wow. What a week. An emotional one at that. We returned from Disney & were in full recovery mode all week. Wow! Disney takes it out of you.. if you know, you know! So we didn't post much on the blog this week, but we did post some inspiring things & lots of stories including sharing some answers to frequently asked questions I get about my recent health journey. Here is a little recap of the past week & also my friday finds at the end of course... I started the week off…

Today is my 33rd birthday! I am feeling happiness, contentment, and so blessed to be able to share another year of my life with all of you! Each year on my birthday, I like to post some random facts about myself. This time, I had Jose and my team ask me questions. Because sometimes it's hard thinking about facts to share about yourself! Especially 33 of them! What is your full name? Everyone calls me Liz Marie, but my full name is Elizabeth Marie What is your Favorite Food? I love food, but…

It is finally time for our farmhouse countertop update! We had these quartz countertops installed over the summer and are absolutely loving them. I wasn’t sure how I wanted to share about our countertops, so I went to Instagram to gather any questions you guys had & thought I would answer them all in one place! What are the countertops? Our countertops are quartz, HERE is an entire blog post about why I love quartz so much! These countertops are quartz in the color rococo from West Michigan…

I have a feeling this is going to be a very long process, but like most times in my life when I'm forced to wait for something I just know that it's just going to make it that much sweeter. I can't wait to have a kitchen here in the farmhouse that has cabinets, new windows, and is pretty with no leaks…

Cottage Style Faux Wood Beams are great, and lightweight solutions for adding character to any space. #HomeDecor #InteriorDesign

You guys have been patiently waiting for updates on a few rooms in our house & honestly, that's the reality of living in a fixer-upper. Nothing is ever complete ... We have so many projects started & can't complete them all at once. But I really wanted to give you guys an update on our mudroom. This is one area of our home I wanted to update for so long & I'm so excited to share the progress with you guys! Here is a little glimpse at our back hallway before. So dark & not our style at all…

Hi guys!! Happy weekend!! Weekends for us usually mean a project or two & this weekend I'm not doing any projects, but I'm dreaming of some so I thought I would take you along with me. I get asked a lot on how one can add historic charm to their home if it isn't historic. I've done posts on how to add farmhouse style to any space & how to make any space cozy , but today I wanted to do a quick and simple road map on how you can add historic charm to any space. Of course their

Let's bring in all the fall from the front porch to the fireplace mantel. Today we are using nature to add the texture to our spaces, and we are styling it all around the beautiful focal point in our front living room, the fall mantel. With the holidays around the corner we are looking at taking advantage at as much savings as we can, so a few of these items discounted from Target Circle Week, so if you are looking to add something to your space (or wardrobe) be sure to pop over to Target to…

Happy Friday from the Farm! I don't think I am alone here, when I say wow that was the longest short work week ever! Haha. I could not wait to get back to the weekend vibes here on the farm!

Liz Marie Blog is a DIY, Home Decor, & Lifestyle blog about Grand Rapids Michigan Native, Liz Marie and her family renovating spaces and growing their farm.

A few weeks ago I shared what's on my coffee table in a new series I started where I share my ever evolving decor in various places in our home. It's such a fun series to show what's on my ______ at that moment. I mean we all know my decor is changing almost daily because I suffer from design add, which I'm not complaining about. Today I wanted to share what's on our nightstands in our master bedroom at the moment. We moved into our Michigan house about 4 months ago & we haven't done…

This isn't the post I intended to write today, but I had to get this out. I couldn't keep this to myself & I felt in my heart that I wanted to include you guys in on all of this even if it was a little soon. Here it is... Last week Monday I gave birth to our eighth baby at 10 weeks. I can't even begin to describe my feelings because I don't think I have even fully processed this loss yet. I usually wait a while to talk about it on the blog when we miscarry so I

Living in a Fixer Upper Living in a fixer upper is an adventure. & with every adventure there is the the good, the weird, & the weirder. One weird thing I am just now discovering is the strangeness of wanting to decorate for the upcoming seasons like fall & Christmas, but then you realize no room in your home is complete. If you have been following our farmhouse fixer upper journey then you know there are unpainted walls, no flooring in most rooms, no curtains are hung, no furniture is in…

I discovered a cool trick this week & I had to come here on the blog & share it with you guys. It was kind of a super random product that I tried out that I was actually shocked that worked. I was on Amazon one night browsing & I came across & HAD to give it a try. I thought it would probably end up in the garage somewhere & filed under 'things that don't work' or under 'things Liz can't do'. You see there are a ton of products I try or projects that fail that I never

My Health Journey FAQs - Liz Marie Blog

Last week we embarked on quite the antiquing marathon in Ohio, kicking off our market season in style. As antique hunters, Ohio is one of our favorite destinations to search for treasures. What started as a few days of browsing turned into a full week of treasure hunting from shop to shop.We managed to find some truly unique pieces to bring home, sorting our hauls into categories like cream pottery, green transfer ware, and specific finds for our son Cope's room. Today I want to share photos…

Winter Greens Foliage Mantel - Liz Marie Blog

It's been a while since I posted one of these! It's not that I have not been antiquing or finding treasures, it's just that I wonder sometimes what to share. What will be inspiring? What will be helpful? What will be encouraging? What will be a dose of joy for someone? Since 2009-ish I've been sharing what I'm up to, what project I'm working on, & little life bits here & there. But sometimes I sit & wonder how I'm helping or what my purpose is. But then I get shaken out of it & remember that…

You guys know that I am OBSESSED with open shelving in the kitchen. We have done many different versions of open shelves in our kitchen & still have more that I haven't even shared yet.. I love playing around with any kind of shelving & it's no different in the kitchen. I get asked a lot about styling kitchen shelves and what to do with them. Well, there are so many variables and it all depends on how you want to use them & how they have to function in your kitchen. Below are 5 ways to style…
